Are you looking for something to tell you about a stock, or when to buy/sell, or what to buy?

Depends what you’re looking for.

Investools is very good. Wizetrade’s ok. AmericanBulls.com is a decent site too.

If you let me know, I’ll try to help you find some good tools.

i would like to make analysis on the share market and make proper investment which will give me better analytical power on my investment

First of all,let me congratulate you on asking a good question. I know there are many foreign books on investing, but very few Indian Books. I at least know FOUR books with Indian Perspective.

1- Value Investing And Behavioral Finance by Parag Parikh (Best among the lot)
2- Stocks To Riches: Insights On Investor Behavior by Parag Parikh
3- How To Make Money Trading With Charts by Ashwani Gujral ( For Trading)
4- Financial Planning : A Ready Reckoner by Madhu Sinha (For Financial Planning)

One tip- I got all these books online from flipkart.com.

Go through these books. All are good books.
Also share if you know any-other indian investment books.

Companies often issue reports or analysis on various stocks. These reports basically say the companies suggestion of whether or not someone should buy the stock and why.

I know it is illegal to offer/charge for investment advice without special licenses – but could one sell a a publication consisting of several pages of stock reports? The sale would be of the analysis… not a comission type thing or anything like that. Are there any blatant laws prohibiting this?

Thanks!

In order to publish and sell analyst reports you will need to pass the Registered Research Analyst Exam, NASD Series 86 + 87. Contact FINRA.

please tell me about investment analysis books and sites.

I am working on a project where I look at 4 different stocks using the monday closing price for 10 weeks in a row. I need to find the beta for each stock using the S&P data as the independent variable. I just can not seem to come up with anything on this one. All I can find online is the listed beta’s for the stocks but they must be from a specific time frame so none of them will work.

Here is how Wikipedia says to calculate your beta.

Calculation of Beta
To calculate Beta, one needs a list of returns for the asset and returns for the index; these returns can be daily, weekly or any period. Next, a plot should be made, with the index returns on the x-axis and the asset returns on the y-axis, in order to check that there are no serious violations of the linear regression model assumptions. The slope of the fitted line from the linear least-squares calculation is Beta. The y-intercept is the alpha.

I need something thats free.

Use an online discount broker. They give you the analysis software because they make $ on the trades. Some are better than others, I use "Think or Swim". Just google it, you will find good reviews.

Go to the library to the information desk and ask if they have any information on your subject.

I currently use Firstrade. They offer stock reports from Standard and Poor’s. I was wondering what kind of research other brokers (like Scottrade, TradeKing, Zecco, Etrade, TD Ameritrade, Schwab, etc.) offer.

Im w Schwab, they have a number of research reports/services S&P, Argus, GS, etc available. Check out their website to take a look.
