Favorite investment research tools/databases?

Let's say you were looking to actively manage your personal assets and didn't have access to sell side research - what is your go-to semi-secret sauce for doing investment dilly? Whether that's charting tools (i.e. finviz) contributor research (i.e. seeking alpha) or non-traditional data sets (i.e. those dudes that track corporate flights, tracking wsb sentiment).

What would be your favored tools/websites? Not talking institutional grade.
