Amazing. Thanks everyone.
Can someone recommend books for the dividend investor? Iām aiming to reach a Ā£2k return by April 2021.

Two of the guys who used to work at the Investorās Chronicle magazine (Phil Oakley & John Hughman) have just started their own blog and podcast called āinvest-abilityā.
Their new podcast is worth a listen and their website is decent (considering its just started).

The Playing FTSE Podcast at Playing FTSE - YouTube is a fave! Well worth a listen to those boys
Just going to bump this back up for some discussion.
I listen daily to FT news briefing. Itās about 8mins (without ads and sign off) and a great easy listen.
Anyone else got some east to listen to podcast to keep the old investing mind sharp.

You got me watching plain bagel last year, itās a really good YouTube channel that talks about investing in a calm and reasoned manner. Thanks for the rec 
Currently enjoying this podcast. I always have a podcast on when Iām in the kitchen and so this show at 20 odd minutes is perfect.
I searched the forum but couldnāt find if there is an existing thread. If there is one please merge.
What are the sources of your daily finacial news? Places you check out to see why some stock went up or down, what is coming up next few days etc. Below is my list in the order I usually follow
- Proactive investor
- Freetrade community
- Reuters business
- News feed you get under a stock in google and in yahoo finance
- Yahoo finance news feed
I prefer these to those ones that require you to give your email or signup to read the article.
Exec Sum (by Litquidity) financial news with some humour and a bit of an IB tilt

Twitter is excellent for breaking news as long as you are following people or organisations that you trust ie The Financial Times, Bloomberg etc
Also the WeBull app lets you create watchlists and displays news for the shares in your watchlist.
I like to regularly read the FT, Barronās, Economist, WSJ and Investorsā Chronicle. Sometimes Iāll dip into Bloomberg and Reuters as well. This browser extension is a Godsend.
There are some good newsletters out there too such as Finimise and Morning Brew.

Does anyone have a paywall bypass ext ration for safari? It would be helpful when reading on my phone. Use 12ft wall / Internet archive otherwise itās just slower
Yes I am with you. Strongly recommend reading The FT and the Economist regularly. Youāll get a perspective well beyond gossip articles and various Internet news feeds and especially the so called stock analysis (often mumbo jumbo speculation or dressed up PR) articles.
Also suggest, if you are into podcasts, that you duck duck go āFT podcastā or search on your podcast app - check out for example FT money.

I enjoy Bloomberg tv in the background when Iām working,. It kind of washes over me a bit but some of the presenters seem pretty good and level headed. Cnbc I have tried on occasion but it seems a bit overly dramatic and the adverts are every 5 minutes it seems.
Podcasts are more my thing when Iām in the gym or doing chores and I do like The Playing FTSE podcast, Motley Fool, InvestTalk, Dapper Dividends podcast and Bogleheads on Investing.
There are so many podcasts out there but those are the ones I enjoy/ get the most out of.
I struggle finding just one website to refer to as the free ones seem pretty shallow and littered with adverts and banners. I should probably accept that I ought to pay to access quality, thoughtful content so maybe I should properly check out The FT, Barrons etc.
+1 for twitter. Pretty much instant news, not much bias, good memes in the replies
You canāt beat a bit of CNBC. American centric of couse!
I also have Bloomberg on while iām working.
Proactive, sharecast, FT and twitter are also my go to everyday.
My google newsfeed has now adapted itself to what iām into.
And if itās a specific company iām interested in then i stick it in the google search and go through what it throws back st me.
Following companies on twitter is also valueable but twitter is pretty bad for having to wade through a deluge of rampers and derampers.

I recommend getting the weekly Investorās Chronical. A fine balance between technical and non-technical language. Touches on all things finance, investment, economics etcā¦ Highly recommend.
