As a DIY, you can get a healthy amount of research and data through your online broker can you not? If not, there are data subscription packages for around $10/month I believe, but I will defer to other readers as I use BridgeChannel at no direct cost to me, but I imagine it is not cheap.

Some of the other programs are comparative tools (i.e. for dissecting portfolios, analyzing costs, looking up news, analyst reports, etc.) It’s easy to get lost in the data.

The 80/20 rule certainly applies: 20% of the data/graphs/charts will tell you 80% of the story.
