Today's stock market heatmap

What is Thewealthora?

Thewealthora is an independent personal finance publication for readers in the United States and Europe. It publishes researched guides on investing, credit, passive income and crypto, runs a separate wire desk for market news, and gives away seven finance tools with no sign up. Every claim links to its primary source.

Markets you can actually read

Real index levels, not ETF stand-ins: the S&P 500, Dow, Nasdaq, FTSE 100 and DAX, alongside live crypto, currency and commodity prices on the live markets page. When an index moves, Index Movers shows you which shares did the pulling.

Guides written by a person

Long-form explainers on investing, crypto and forex, passive income and credit and loans. Every one is hand-written, states its sources, and is honest about what it does not know. These are kept separate from the news wire.

Calculators that show their working

Seven free financial tools, no sign-up and no email wall. The compound interest calculator shows your result in today's money so inflation cannot hide, and the EMI and loan calculator simulates overpayments so you can see the interest you would save.

Two news desks, kept apart

The Finance Wire carries money news and World News carries world news. Both are produced from primary wire sources and always link back to the original report. How that works is set out in our editorial policy.
