What other websites? (Originally Posted: 04/30/2007)
Just curious as to what other websites people here check on a daily/semiregular basis. I'm sure the inevitable pornsite jokes will be following shortly but I'd like to know what other resources people use for news, information, entertainment
WSJ.com-daily finance.yahoo.com-daily ESPN.com-every other Capital IQ- weekly LSO- weekly
You can't beat http://dealbook.blogs.nytimes.com/
and I actually now prefer finance.google.com to finance.yahoo.com
I always like to print out an economist.com before before I get the issue on Friday and bring to the crapper.
Entertainment: cracked.com is pretty hilarious.. Check that once a week or so.

What are some good websites to browse? (Originally Posted: 01/04/2009)
I'm new to finance/ibanking and I want to learn more about the market, investing, etc. What are some good websites to check regularly for financial news, opinions/predictions, and analysis?
I subscribe to the WSJ for news but I hear their editorial section is not the best.
Financial Times WSO Market Watch A bunch of blogs (AR, information arbitrage, Big picture, zerohedge) Gartman Letter Linkedin CNBC videos for a quick summary YouTube Email (hotmail/university mail)
portfolio.com
http://dealbook.blogs.nytimes.com/ http://blogs.wsj.com/deals/
ditto...also Bankersball.com
i want an invite the the lolstreet blog!
dealbreaker.com
There is also sites like morningstar.com to check out finance as a whole.
i'd like an invite to lolstreet as well.
my favorite website is reader.google.com . just subscribe to everything remotely interesting.
WSJ Deal Blog is great for deal news as mentioned above.
I really like www.nakedcapitalism.com for analysis of the financial industry. Calculated Risk (www.calculatedriskblog.com) is a very good blog and was way ahead of most people with their coverage of the housing crisis.
That's a bit of an understatement.I really like QFINANCE's blog
http://www.qfinance.com/blogs
Also worth checking out AllAboutAlpha and MorningStar
WSJ is still solid, check out Dealbreaker too

What are your preferred news/entertainment sources? (Originally Posted: 07/03/2013)
Just curious to see your preferred news and entertainment sources that you check daily. I personally check out Yahoo, WSO, Dealbook, WSJ, Reddit and there might be a few others that I can't remember.
Business Insider + all Gawker blogs
WSO, Misc, Drudge, Business Insider, FT, SeekingAlpha, MotleyFool, CNBC
Used to misc once in a while, still do actually but a lot of people on that forum have a really warped view of the world.
pretty much this.
Miscing since 9th grade crew checkin in. Don't post as much anymore, but always read it for some quick lulz
what is Misc and FT?
Misc section of Bodybuilding.com forums. In terms of forums you can belong too it's ranked like - Misc, Reddit, 4chan in descending order.
FT = Financial Times
Facebook, LinkedIn, Forbes, and WSO. Sometimes links to Forbes articles pop up on my facebook
theawesomer.com - random entertainment
NI ODD
add zerohedge and Reuters to that list. Also you can use Twitter for news. I personally use Zite app for iPhone.
FT is my preferred source.
However, an interesting read on why you should not consume news can be found on Rolf Dobelli's home page ("Why you should stay away from the news"). Dobelli has founded a think-tank in Zurich whose members are amongst others Nassim Nicholas Taleb. I personally think that in banking though, it is impossible to stay away from the news. For less advisory driven jobs it may be a great approach!
WSJ, Financial Times, LinkedIn, and this site
I'd like to also add Quartz to the list. Excellent writing happening there, and great site design too.
I look at the world completely different after spending a 2 years now on that forum. Sort of like how WSO has warped my view of what a good job is
strong this.
But IMO it is good (even though it is bad?) WSO has taught me to strive for my best and to succeed. I use to get anxiety from coming onto WSO because I saw everyone else being successful and I wasn't (in high school - lol srs). Once I entered college I hit the ground running and now I work in structured products. On the other hand, the Misc has kept me sane and always provides me with a good smirk or two during a stressful day.
News: Forbes and Business Insider Entertainment: Penthouse and CD
Quartz is phenomenal would second that. If I could invest in the Atlantic magazine I definitely would - they're doing some really cool things over there (qz is a project of the Atlantic).
Sites I browse when procrastinating at work: CNN, CNBC, Felix Salmon
Stuff that I try to set time aside to read regularly: WSJ, The Economist, The New Yorker
WSJ, NY Times, Globaltimes (for Chinese news), WSO, and most important of all - conversations with colleagues/friends (assuming they are the news savvy type).

What are some interesting websites/blogs about investment banking/wall street careers?
i hear the "Search" feature of www.WallStreetOasis.com is a good one

"its the running joke now, we now have fair trade with china so they send us poisoned sea food and we send them fraudulent securities."
I'm a huge fan of Going Private. If the woman who writes the blog is even remotely good looking, I'd marry her to pick her brain for all eternity (or quit my job and mooch off of her).

http://equityprivate.typepad.com/[/quote] nice. imma subscribe to this. funny thing is she has a tip jar on the right. i'll donate when i land in PE.

http://equityprivate.typepad.com/[/quote]
Some random people on dealbreaker claim she's pretty hot (not sure if its hot hot or banker hot). Regardless, of whether she's a 6 or a 10, I think you may need to take a number. It's a very long line. But if I married her, I probably have other things on the good ol' to-do list ahead of picking her brain.
Other blogs on my daily reading list: Dealbreaker, Leveraged Sellout, Epicurean Deal, Long or Short, Epicurean Dealmaker, Deal Journal, DealBook
Why did I think the person who wrote equityprivate was a guy...
Also, I doubt anyone on DB has seen her in person (except maybe Bess Levin, but even then I doubt it's more than online correspondence).
I also think that Muffie and EquityPrivate are one and the same, just like other people have theories that John Carney and Bess are one and the same.
no way Bess and Carney are the same, their writing styles are so different. Particularly how usually when Bess tries to be funny, she does a decent job. When Carney tries to be funny it blows up in his face.

"its the running joke now, we now have fair trade with china so they send us poisoned sea food and we send them fraudulent securities."
Finance, especially NY finance, is a very very small world.
I could see EP being Anne Hathaway (older of course) / Eva Green hot.
I realize why I thought this person was a guy.
Why? Because visual image of a guy made the posts easier to read?
I am a huge fan of sarcasm and wit, but i think the first couple of posts (from 2006) made me think it was a guy.
I stopped reading awhile ago and thus missed all the cues of the "feminine" traits of said blogger.
The picture of the female hand clutching a breifcase on the top right didn't tip you off?
I guess i never paid close attention to it. I don't see too many women carrying around briefcases so I just assumed it was a "man hand".
