If you're interested in investing, reading one or more of the well-known business magazines can be a very useful tool for learning about companies, business and the markets in general. This can be particularly helpful if you invest in individual stocks. Fortunately, each of these magazines now has excellent online editions that are mostly free for all viewers. These sites can be particularly helpful for company research by conducting a search of the company name on these sites that will provide you with past articles that mention that company. Each site offers more than the current version of the magazine, including news and business information.
Forbes.com
This site offers free access to each edition of this well-known magazine from
1996, providing a useful resource for researching companies. Of all the business
magazines, Forbes has created the best Web site.
Business Week Online
The current version of the magazine is available online to all viewers, and
subscribers have free access to archive issues for the past five years and as
far back as 1991 for a small fee. A non-subscriber can access all archives for a
fee.
Fortune.com
This site offers much of the excellent content that appears in the printed
version, along with additional features. With respect to archives, readers can
search archived articles and see a summary, but viewing the entire article
requires a fee of $2.95 per article.
Wall Street Journal Online
This excellent online edition of the Wall Street Journal, which includes
Barron's Online, is unfortunately a subscription based service. Subscribers to
the print version can subscribe to the online edition for an additional $29 per
year.
Fast Company
Great resource if you want to read about tech and Internet companies.
Portfolio
Great new magazine that focuses on in-depth profiles.
