MarketWatch Reviews - 1.6 Stars (2024)

Marketwatch has devolved into another narrative biased censorship platform. I have lots of emails where MW "approved" the comment and then minutes, days or weeks later those exact same comments are "rejected". I made one comment arguing against student loan forgiveness and the comment was "rejected". I replied asking why the comment was rejected only to immediately get over 20 prior comments rejected. Apparently the moderator got mad.
Still enjoying intelligent interaction on other platforms.

When it comes to financial news, one article says te market is going up and then the very next minute it says the market is going down. I go to this site to get info on what I should not be doing. If they say buy I usually wait for the stock to pullback or avoid it. In terms of the market, they have been wrong but they are not as bad as the street, which is full of ads and its impossible to read an article without going nuts

Their website is very informative with useful graphs and the latest news about the market.
However, when I tried to contact them about my queries; they haven't responded yet. I hope they can be improve this in the future.

Title says it all. Half of my comments get rejected despite not going against any community guidelines. My opinions are often against what the "popular or right" opinion being offered is, but isn't that the entire point of a public discourse? No, they much more prefer to steer the conversation to suit their narrative, real journalism.

I use MarketWatch every day that the markets are open. It has more information than I could ever use, but it is there if you need to find it. The lay out is pretty good as far as ease of navigating. It reads kind of like a news paper, with current news and market conditions always available. All in all, I like this site except for one feature. There is a row of trading site advertisem*nts across the main page. When you move your cursor over them... and you don't even have to stop on them... those ads immediately drop down to capture your screen, which then moves what you are navigating down to look at, further down off your screen. Then when you move off the ads, they pull back up which then moves what you were looking for off your screen once again. I find this "in your face" advertising method very annoying and counter productive for the site user. If I want to see what any of those trading sites have to offer, all I need do is click on them. I don't need them hijacking my screen. Other than that, MarketWatch is a very good site.

I need them to explain to me how they had advance notice that GameStop was going to fall 30%. This is absolutely disgusting Proof of market manipulation in my eyes!

Market watch is nothing more than a left leaning publication, that silences any descent by blocking your posts that they do not agree with, these are fact based posts that can easily be checked, for example I posted about former C. I. A. Director John Brennan "bugging" the senate judiciary computers this can be found with a simple search BLOCKED, I can list examples like this all day, Its like watching Lawrence O'donnell for god sake! I Quit Market watch you can have your "one size fits all" thinking good riddance.

Awful place to find market news. They propagate a leftist narrative and censor anything that doesn't fit with in their "community guidelines." Basically you'll be censored if you have an opposing viewpoint. Moreover, I had used Marketwatch for years when all of a sudden they started to block viewing of their articles with a paywall. Will never use again nor recommend their website.

So - you went from ad supported to $20 a month subscription so I can read one article that says "Dow will soar in next quarter" only to be followed by another article that says "Dow about to plunge". How do your advertisers feel about the 90+% loss of internet traffic you're experiencing? There are other options for people out there, and you just shot yourself in the foot. Enjoy bankruptcy.

Market watch is given out false news regarding the Israeli and Palestinians in Jerusalem. All other news articles are saying the same thing that Israelis are attacking the Muslim in the mosque while they were worshiping in the month of Ramadan but MarketWatch news was saying Palestinians are attacking (what with stones) no one can see guns in the Palestinian hands. Please if you can't get your story right and trying to spread lies then don't write no news. We don't want to hear your rubbish.

I can't believe there is information out there saying this site is conservative. Definitely not the case. The authors there are terrible and they constantly write the same types of stories. They always have articles that contradict one another and it is just comical. The site just frustrates me every time I look at it. I'd say it's on par with Yahoo Finance..

I was a fan of Market Watch when I was able to freely read the articles (while generously giving the site my views, and putting up with ads) but I won't pay to read these articles. They are entertaining. In a world full of free entertainment. But they don't add value to my life, like, say... food? You people realize it's a pandemic and we haven't received any stimulus in over 6 months right? Sad.

The website is CONSTANTLY having connection issues and at times won't let you buy or sell stocks for no reason. The site frequently doesn't update correctly and the standings in the challenge games are right only 30% of the time. The headlines are laughably negative, all the time. Know what you're getting into before diving into market watch, the site SUCKS!

I like the financial information (sparse as it is among the political hit pieces) and its easy access format, but the website seems to just be one big liberal/leftist propaganda machine whose sole purpose is to tear down our president. I'm not crazy about our president either (wish he would let someone else do the talking and tweeting), but the constant negative and destructive barrage of this website is just depressing.

Seriously, who in their right mind would pay for opinionated news?
No way I'd pay to read what people think no matter how long they've been in the market.

These people are NOT journalists! Every article that pops up from them is totally one sided opinion pieces and generally abusive and insulting to the other viewpoint! It's basically just cyber bullying without oversight. Disgusting!
