Where would I suggest for you to get a real education in economics or where would I suggest you go to become another armchair economist like me? :) Personally

Personally I'd stick with Boglehead type advice and focus on your career(assuming you're in tech). My day job is the only thing that's ever consistently generated wealth for me.
I am in a special situation having to make up for lost time being out of the market and being divorced, so I am trying riskier things that I really wouldn't recommend for anyone else.
Once you go down the rabbit hole of trying to understand macroeconomic trends and betting accordingly, well, it becomes rather distracting. I can't recommend it.
If you really want to 'go there' well... I don't know. I follow a random collection of FinTwit folks. Lately I like Doomberg and "The Maverick of Wall Street". I also follow folks like Mohamed El-Erian, Buffett/Munger and Jeremy Grantham
- CamelCaseName 5y agoHaha, well, my undergrad was actually Economics and I assure you I am still an armchair economist! Reading the annual notes / investment updates by certain more prolific managers can be useful, but they all have their own bias and honestly its not particularly insightful from an economics perspectives. (More finance than economics)
