- JustMarkets
- http://www.justmarkets.com/
- This site offers a paid daily e-mail market newsletter and a free biweekly newsletter. The trouble is, it's a bit hard to find out what the actual cost of the daily newsletter is -- it mentions $9.95 plus discounts for longer subscriptions, but you can't seem to find out the price unless you actually start filling out the subscription form. However, I've seen a sample and it looks good.
