Utilities for a retail investor

I just got a non-market-oriented job and will no longer have access to Bloomberg/FactSet/Thomson and won't be able to call up a company to get information.

What tools are there for a retail investor to maintain a watchlist, get news feeds on a stock, research fundamentals, etc? Having FactSet was a huge part of my research process, so I need to find a retail-level replacement. Transcripts are critical - I HATE listening to conferences calls (also a big reason I'm leaving sell-side).

As much as I hate SeekingAlpha, they have a pretty comprehensive earnings transcript offering. They make you create an account, so that sucks somewhat. Still, worth it.

"There are three ways to make a living in this business: be first, be smarter, or cheat."
 

Macabacus macros look nifty, but doesn't seem to have a place outside of churning out spreadsheets.

I have a Seeking Alpha account, the key is to not read the articles. There are a handful of smart people writing for SA, but most everything is garbage. I guess Yahoo Finance is probably the best web-based option.

Any rec's for idea screening?

 

Voluptas velit consequatur consectetur non qui odit ratione. Et architecto quisquam sit ea veniam inventore animi qui. Aut est perferendis accusamus veniam voluptates cumque odit.

Voluptatem sed magnam qui ea tempora soluta qui. Nostrum provident eaque consequuntur quae quasi.

Et cum asperiores nemo. Reprehenderit dolores sit a hic.

Sed natus voluptatem voluptatem culpa minima quidem dolor. Fuga qui totam dolorum at doloremque repudiandae. Sed ut deleniti et nostrum qui nemo totam.
