What are your favourite channels for news or conducting research? I typically jump around the usual business suspects (FT and Alphaville, Bloomberg, Thomson), with a healthy dose of tech (The Verge, Digital Trends etc), and @Viktor got me onto the daily Finimize shots, but it would be great to hear what everyone else is using!
On a separate note, does anyone have any podcast recommendations? I listen to Animal Spirits each week, and occasionally dip into the FT Alphachat & Exchanges at Goldman Sachs offerings, but can get a bit sleepy listening to some of themā¦
Edit: I get tons of other daily emails I never read (Axiom AM, MergerMarket, LexisNexis feeds) but others might find them usefulā¦
For news, I default to Reddit, e.g. r/investing. A lot of the discussions are US-heavy though.
Iām big on emails, too! I read a handful of them in the morning, e.g. Finimize and the Breakfast Briefing from the Market Mogul. The Monevator newsletters have good content, although they come across as a bit old-fashioned for me.
I follow 100+ podcasts, but Invest like the Best is by far the highest quality for me.
Iām going all in with r/wallstreetbets of course.
Iāll check out Invest like the Best though. Since finding out about Freetrade Iāve been reading up about investing a lot more, but I havenāt got to Podcasts. Thanks for the link.
WSB! I subscribed to that sub for a few months, but itās too intense for me.
Patrick OāShaughnessy (Invest like the Best guy) is worth following on Twitter as well.
A recent good episode was the interview with Facebookās ex Head of Growth, who runs his investment firm Full Tilt Capital now. He said something along the lines he and his partner figured out a way to get cheaper electricity for crypto mining (burning car tyres).
Awful for the environment though, so I hope this āinnovationā wonāt catch on.
Going along the lines of Finimize, I also subscribe to Morning brew which is a great read but less entry level compared to Finimize. Also another great podcast that I listen to is Chat with traders thereās a huge backlog but definitely worth a listen
The FT app is my no.1ā¦ Companies, Markets, Lex and Alphaville columns daily.
Bloomberg is great because itās free & high qualityā¦ Technology column once a week
BBC newsā¦ daily for general world affairs
YouTubeā¦ Modern Investor, Cryto Investor, Cryto Coin News, Cryto Capital Venture, Tyler S, and the Litecoin Foundation channels mainly to keep up with cryptocurrency.
The Economistā¦ occasionally I read a free article, especially if itās regarding a tech stock
I just read the about page on Finimize & am struggling to get itās USP/purpose.
Is it a news outlet that curates news across different platforms in a concise manner? Also, do they have an app?
Agree here. If I wanted a news feed, I would certainly go to Tip Ranks (AMZN as an example)
They have a really big news database that also determines whether the news are bullish or bearish. It has also got a chart showing the stock price changes and how it correlates to the news that are being published.
Finimize launched their iOS app today. Theyāre sharing weekly roundups & alerts in a chatbot UI.
Thereās not much in the app yet so itās too early to rate it but it looks like theyāve done a good job of sticking with their approachable style.
I wonder if a Tripadvisor for platforms/brokers/robos might be quite a hard thing to do meaningfully when everyoneās journey through each will be different depending on what risk they took on. Dunno.
