Tools & Links
The tools I actually use — and the ones worth your money as a beginner.
These are the tools I actually use and recommend for beginner investors — the same ones I use to research, chart, and keep an eye on everything I write about on this site. If a tool is listed here, it’s one I’d point a friend to without hesitating.
CHARTS & TRACKING
TradingView — Charts & Tracking
- ✓ Free tier covers everything a beginner actually needs
- ✓ Clean, easy-to-read charts
- ✓ Track a whole watchlist of stocks & ETFs
TradingView is where I do my charting. The charts are clean and easy to read, the free tier covers everything a beginner actually needs, and it works just as well for a quick price check as it does for tracking a whole watchlist of stocks and ETFs. It’s the tool most beginners end up on, and for good reason. Try TradingView — get a $15 coupon toward a paid plan if you ever decide to upgrade.

BOOK PICK
Buffett’s 2-Step Stock Market Strategy
A plain-English walkthrough of Warren Buffett’s way of picking stocks — how to spot a good business and know what it’s worth before you buy. A good first investing book if the stock market still feels like a guessing game. See it on Amazon →
