Here are some I use:

DOW Tracker (https://www.fidelity.com/images/homepage/flash/stockWatcher.swf?refhp=cp&domain=http://activequote.fidelity.com - broken link) -- nice big basic semi-realtime DOW tracker
Yahoo! Finance -- of course -- great info, great spot for econ calendar: Economic Calendar
Fidelity -- decent site for quick quotes, research, reports, etc. (although I use the advanced trader platform for trading and charting)
Seeking Alpha -- news and opinions on the market/economy, sectors, ETFs, global markets, and specific investment types
CNNMoney -- always good to see what the mainstream business news looks like

Trader Mike -- one day trader's ideas and experiences
My Stock Market Power -- trading info
Trader's Narrative -- trading info/opinions

ETF Trends -- great focus on the wide world of ETFs
Mod cut
Tip'd -- excellent blog portal on a variety of topics
Free Money Finance -- personal finance blog C
Interest Rate Trends -- mortgage/interest rates info
Monevator -- personal finance blog D (interesting article on Fable II)
Distributed Republic -- Austrian school of economics blog

I'd love to hear what you folks use! Thanks!

If you want some really good commentary from those who have been around the markets (and around the world, doing so) for many, many years, checkout:

Welcome To Jim Sinclair’s MineSet (this guy, Jim Sinclair, will really get you thinking)

Where Gold Investors come for crucial market insight! (paying site, but you can get 2 weeks free to check it out)

Safe Haven | Preservation of Capital | for up-to-the-minute articles from the best and brightest minds out there

Just a few of my faves....

Minyanville - Market Commentary, Finance and Subscriptions

Alot of deflationistas over there, but there are a couple that see otherwise, myself included. With the government taking on bad private debt that is propping up our bubble economy and becoming the spender that has an unlimited line of credit, expect a crisis in currency sooner than later.
