good piece on filtering out crap and getting good info. also great links at the bottom. altho they didn’t include AF
Thanks for sharing this. There’s too much click-bait crap out there. All you have to do is follow stocktwits to see how confused/clueless some people are. Political and other bias is probably the biggest driver behind any predictive article. For example, the Austrian Economist type folks would say stuff like “oh my god fed induced equity bubble sell sell sell” no matter how good the actual figures are. Click bait articles are the worst. I’ve seen the same source recommending going long and short on AAPL in the same week. I prefer to just read the news on WSJ, find data on Ycharts or Nasdaq, and follow earnings calls of companies I like. I also follow a certain bald guy on CNBC - just for entertainment though 
I’ve mentioned this before, but I read the financial news as “propaganda”. What are the masses being brainwashed with today? It’s useful for that. If I want facts I’ll go direct to the most authoritative source of raw data , and do the analysis myself. Anything that I have not checked myself, I assume is wrong.
