Online research resources
I find myself in a slightly odd situation. Having decided to move nearly half of our direct equity holdings into Vanguard global trackers, I did so by selling everything in iWeb for that purpose.
So, we now have a very arbitrary collection, simply based on what was held in Charles Stanley. It's time to go back to first principles, I think: devise a chosen list and sell and buy to get a balanced portfolio.
Being somewhat out of date, I'd be grateful to know what online resources people use to filter, screen and select. Free would be nicer than paid, but modest cost wouldn't be so bad.
I note that Company REFS seem to have gone bust, like Thomas Cook the pressure from the internet appears overwhelming....

Morning Uncle. I invest only in individual shares, and do my research via dividenddata.co.uk , and investigate.co.uk both of which are free. I don't bother with digitallook anymore.
Easy to use and updated promptly.
Ian.

Re: Online research resources
If you are considering subscription sites, as REFS was, the best by far in my view for filtering fundamental company data, and I've tried all of them, is Stockopedia. It is somewhat similar to the old REFS on CDs that I used many years ago when filtering for value plays, but with the huge advantage of being online, updated daily and having far more information. I've been using it for years to build HYPs.
Cost is £225 a year paid annually for UK market information and a little cheaper per year for a two or three year sub. A 14 day free trial is available.
https://www.stockopedia.com/plans/
Like all such database sites, free or subscription, it does occasionally contain errors or out of date info, so users must check back with the original company accounts and later trading updates so as to verify the database facts when making share selections.

Thanks for this. Why don't you use digitallook anymore?
Oh, and investigate.co.uk led to a private investigator website!
best wishes

It's investegate.co.uk, as in "Invest e-gate", not investigate as in research something.

Re: Online research resources
The definitive thread for this question is elsewhere on this forum
personally I use investing.com, and a few others that come and go, but investing works well on mobile.

Hi Uncle,
I've have only been in the private investing game for about 20 months, so others here will know far more. I did putting together a thread just for the compilation of online resources but unfortunately I've failed to keep this up to date.
Since I'm at work I can't remember all the online resources, as they are bookmarked, but here a few:
Simply Wall Street give these people an email address, and you get 10 (UK and international!) company reports per month for free. At the bottom of each report there's links to individual articles e.g.
https://simplywall.st/stocks/gb/commerc ... 96-profit/
Also:
https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/
https://www.ii.co.uk
lots of interesting articles and analysis e.g.
https://www.ii.co.uk/analysis-commentar ... y-ii509333
https://www.ii.co.uk/analysis-commentar ... s-ii508607
A site I recently found "edison research", who I think are retained by some firms to do analysis (e.g. Games workshop, xpp)
https://www.edisongroup.com/company/gam ... roup/2876/
https://www.edisongroup.com/company/xp-power/751/
More free analysis from these
https://www.sharesmagazine.co.uk/shares/share/SCT
http://financials.morningstar.com/ratio ... region=gbr
and

HTH,
Matt

I am a subscriber to Stockopedia, and very happy with what it provides, which is more than that which is alluded to by Stephen Bland above. However I think it good practice to, if nothing else to remove the accusation of conflict of interest, at least acknowledge any potential commercial interest when one recommends anything in a public forum. I have no such commercial interest, nor an axe to grind either way with either Stockopedia, or Stephen Bland, but feel pyad should for the sake of balance have pointed out, in case some aren't aware, that he has a "column" there which has over 27,000 "reads" currently, which would suggest it was one of the most popular.

Re: Online research resources
I used Digital Look for years, but stopped 2~3 years ago when it became unworkable.
I took out a subscription to Stockopedia.
More recently, I took out a trial subscription to Sharepad and I am exceedingly impressed. It's by far the best tool I have seen for my needs.
