Bloomberg, FT, institutional investor, CFA, abnormalreturns.com does a decent job of aggregating. Sometimes Barron’s is ok. Blogs and podcasts can be better. It’s always good in finance to think “does this guy have an agenda or bias to push?” when a famous investor is being interviewed.
- dragontamer 8y agoIndividual blogs are good if you know the individual author and trust them well. Basically, a blog is great to follow a specific person you trust. But individuals still only have expertise in a narrow field. I'm not going to be reading Herb Sutter's blog for Java-programming news, or "The Old New Thing" (Windows-blog) for even Linux-ARM news. I read Herb Sutter for C++, Old New Thing for Windows-specific stuff. To get more information from a wider variety of sources, you end up reading Newspapers. You learn to trust the editor, a non-expert but someone who tries to promise quality of their writers follows a certain code. Even within a newspaper, different editors handle different sections (the OpEd section of WashPo is less factual than other sections) As long as you understand the trust model of various sites or newspapers, things are good. Some amateurs on "Seeking Alpha" or "Medium" are pretty darn good with their analysis, you just gotta learn their names and follow them specifically.
