My Go To Sources for News that Affect My Financial Decisions

CNBC?  Not.  CNN?  Not.    Bloomberg?  Not.

I go to Wallstreetbets on Reddit and my feed on LinkedIn.  Why?   Wallstreetbets posters on the thread What are your moves today, or What are you moves tomorrow. seem to be ahead for news sites by quite a bit.  I read about the shooting at the Correspondents dinner on Wallstreetbets before any of the news sites had articles about it.   One morning, I found out about the missile attacks on U.S. and Iranian ships first on Wallstreetbets.   With almost 20 million members, they seem to keep on top of and post about events that potentially affect financial markets.

LinkedIn members are using posts to promote their business, often taking opposing sides on AI and Investment options.  I get to read both sides and the middle, which offers me the opportunities to see multiple views and make an evaluation myself.

Otherwise, I'm a very low Social Media user.   Never use TikTok, Instagram.   I use YouTube for do-it- yourself repair projects, but never for financial projects.
