I’ve used M* for about 8 years now & have been very pleased with them. It’s my favorite investing site. & I recommend it to others.

It’s of little importance whether they automatically renew or not because all you need do is call and they will refund the unused balance, prorated.

Chandu – I believe M* is now covering a large amount of Indian markets.

Gary – that sounds pretty awful, if you call the M* help number and explain the situation I’m sure they would refund it right then

If you sign up for the Premium’s 14-day free trial you may end up paying for it whether you want to or not. You have to give them your credit card info. first. After the trial is over, if you haven’t canceled, the system uses your info. to automatically purchase the premium membership, whether you want it or not. You may not realize that until you see the charge on your credit card. Remember, you may accidentally forget to cancel or life may put you in a situation where you can’t cancel in time in time, then you’ll buy it whether you want to or not! I forget what happened to me and it doesn’t matter. I have active epilepsy and brain damage. I either just forgot or my health put me in a position where I couldn’t cancel it – no computer in my hospital room. I don’t know and it doesn’t matter. I just faintly remember that one month years ago, when I went to pay my credit card bill there was a large charge on it. It was the Morningstar Premium membership. I don’t remember whether it was any better than the free info. It probably wasn’t REMEMBER – WHEN YOU GIVE THEM YOUR CREDIT CARD INFO. – YOU’RE BASICALLY GIVING THEM THE CASH AHEAD OF TIME! For all I know, I could have been in the hospital on the day I was supposed to cancel. I’ve had hundreds of seizures and been rescued and hospitalized many times. There’s a good chance that brain damage or just life in general caused me to pay for a membership that I didn’t really use. Oh well, lesson learned, no more trial memberships for me.

Does Morningstar tracks Indian stock markets (BSE & Nse) as well?

Morningstar had built a reputation as one of the most respected financial research firms in the US and coming from you, I think I will give Morningstar a try and see for myself if they can really give me what I need.

Nice find. I signed up for the free membership and although I only looked at it briefly, so far so good.
