MoneyCentral by Microsoft

Pros: excellent advice, easy to use
Cons: microsoft.

Microsoft's Moneycentral is the place to be for everything you would ever need to know about money. I know this may sound a little on the "I'm trying to sell you something" side, but it's nothing from the truth. I discovered Moneycentral...

Pros: tech support, convenience
Cons: bill pay

I've checked this site out off an on since it first came out. It's become a really good site that I frequent frequently. I like the way that I can view several accounts from different banks. It saves a lot of time compared to having to check one account...

Pros: Portfolio tracking
Cons: it's Microsoft

Microsoft's personal finance website is far and away the most comprehensive site I have seen. Access to the site is easy -- and free! Using a Hotmail login and password (since MSN now owns Hotmail) is all you need.

The best feature on the site...

Pros: Wealth of information in an easy to use format and it's all FREE!
Cons: Some parts require downloading proprietary software.

MoneyCentral is the one stop shopping for all your financial needs. All of the information is always FREE! The site is easy to navigate, fast to load (there are very few graphics), and provides a wealth of information on all financial topics. It suits...

Pros: Free, easy, lots of tools
Cons: None

To be perfectly honest, I've always disliked Microsoft. In fact, I won't hide it. I've always HATED them. Crushing small start up companies, crushing new ideas from the small-timers, and devestating the competition by stealing their ideas and...

Pros: Very thorough, and current. Great stock screening program.
Cons: NONE!

Microsoft definitely did this right.

MoneyCentral is the first place I go to look up anything relating to finance. It has articles on anything and everything. My favorite section is the investing section. They have a lot of innovative...

Pros: Broad range of topics, very simple language, concise and easy to use
Cons: None that I have found

I only frequently ventured to MSN Moneycentral and wonder what has taken me so long to find it. WOW! A great site for any number of reasons which I will cover in the following.

To begin with, the breadth of the site is quite impressive. MSN...

Pros: Enormous amount of useful and useable info
Cons: Portfolio Tracker reminds me of my bad trades

As usual, Mr. Gates has followed his strategy of surrounding himself with the best people. And MSN MoneyCentral is another example of that policy paying off.

I first went to MSN MoneyCentral when I began to develop an interest in investing in...

Pros: Great destination site
Cons: Doesn't always have all the data

I’m a new investor. I’ve just recently started taking money out of the paycheck each month and dropping it in a Waterhouse online investing account. Of course I knew nothing about markets or stocks or sectors so I started searching around until I found...

Pros: Easy to use
Cons: none yet

MSN is all things to all people. It is simple for the novice and can when pushed, can adapt to the needs of the advanced. It has helped me become a novice to a skilled web user. I have utilized all the available financial sites, and this one seems to...

Pros: wealth of information, easy to navigate
Cons: none come to mind

This site has it all and is easy to navigate. I mainly use the Investor area, but it also offers useful areas covering insurance, retirement and estate planning, taxes, etc. The site has step-by-step guides, message boards, and an area where you can...

Pros: great financial planning information
Cons: Motley Fool is better

This site is a terrific all around finance site. I was impressed with all of the information this site had to offer. There was information on investing, insurance, saving, wills and estates, sending your kids to college, taxes, banking, and real estate....

Pros: powerful portfolio manager and screening tool, great articles, wonderful stock research tool, it's free
Cons: none, other than the fact that it's Microsoft...

I will specifically talk about Microsoft Investor, since I do not have much familiarity with the rest of the MoneyCentral site. The Investor site is one of my favorite investing destinations because of its unique features that no other web site can...

Pros: Very professional
Cons: monopolizes content

Microsoft has built a pretty standard financial portal in
Money Central. The resources available on the site have
significant depth, however, its seems that none of it is
really proprietary. Whoever thought Microsoft would be
...

Pros: exceptional financial advice, a wide variety of financial topics, easy to understand
Cons: no current financial news coverage

As an avid investor as well as finance wannabe, I am always looking for helpful, worthwhile sites that help me learn more about the financial world, especially the stock market. MSN MoneyCentral has been a great help to me; I have used Microsoft's...

Pros: great format, links; easy to use
Cons: don't let the insight sway you too much

MSN MoneyCentral has become my most frequented financial site. I am just a beginner and am not totally familiar with investment lingo. However, this site has taught me more than I have learned anywhere else. It is very helpful in explaining concepts...

Pros: Everything, from the quick loading of pages to the personal information and tools
Cons: None!

Microsoft is a corporation known for its aggressive, pioneering approach to software and the internet. This company, headquartered in Redmond, Washington, is probably the best- known software company in the world. Its products include general software, op ...

Pros: portfolio tracker, news, indices, columnists
Cons: tracking of sales gains/losses weak

I use the MSN MoneyCentral website daily during the
week. The information the MoneyCentral Portfolio
tracker provides keeps me up to date, minute by minute
with stock market changes.

The main attraction for me at the...

Pros: Incredible wealth of tools
Cons: Very little original content

The Microsoft Network may very well be the best content aggregator on the web and MSN Money Central is no exception. Other sites like CNBC and Yahoo finance have a few really good tools, but MoneyCentral seems to have everything.

If MSN...

Pros: lots of info on many different investment topics
Cons: sometimes loads slowly

I am small time investor, and MSN Moneycentral has proven to me to be a great asset. First off, you can get quotes, news, and other information on a particular company. But more importantly, they have FREE analysis. On many sites, you have to be a...

Pros: Offers accurate and updated info
Cons: needs just a few less referrals and more info on the sit itself

Microsoft's MoneyCentral is an excellent source for sound financial advice. This website, like most financial sites, offers information and great advice for investors. But the difference between MoneyCentral and the rest is this. They not only provide...

Pros: Jon Markman alone is worth returning for
Cons: Solid, not always original

For a non-media company, Microsoft has done a very good job with MoneyCentral. My opinion is mainly going to deal with them as an investment site, as I find their other information to be solid but not unique. As an investment site, they cover the bases...

Pros: good financial advice, tons of different options to choose from
Cons: site is owned by Microsoft (i dont mind, but some might)

This site is not all about stocks. In fact, out of several topics to choose from, only one is devoted entirely to stocks. The topics are; Investor (stocks quotes, charts, news and more), News Desk, Banking & Bills, Saving & Spending,...

Pros: Best searches for stocks, funds, etc.
Cons: MICROSOFT, should I say more?

There are many different websites out there offering sound financial advice, but Moneycentral.com brings this all to one place. Whether you want to see the most recent quote for a stock or look at the latest SEC filings, Moneycentral.com is the place to...

Pros: Its the best of its breed...
Cons: Its free, so you never know...

I have used many financial supersites in order to track my portfolio and I find MSN Moneycentral to be the one that best meets my needs.
The one feature that stands out from the rest is its ability to allow you to enter and track each individual...

Pros: free and accessible from anywhere
Cons: installation problems

Microsoft Investor is a great site, when it works properly. I do not like how you have to log in practically everyday, even though I tell it to remember my login and my browser accepts cookies. Also, MS Investor won't install properly in IE5, and it only...

Pros: Extensive Standard info
Cons: Too standard

Microsoft has built a pretty standard financial portal in Money Central. The resources available on the site have significant depth, however, its seems that none of it is really proprietary. Whoever thought Microsoft would be innovative anyhow. It...
