Best Newsletters to Start your day

Headline pretty much explains it all..besides Bloomberg Business briefs, Wall Street Journal and Barron's, there isn't any others that I pick up in the morning before I go into work. What are everyone else's financial newsletters?

Honestly, I love to read Market Snacks in the morning. Easy/relatively fun to read. It's geared towards millennials so it's not quantitative newsletter in the world...but it does give a decent overview on the equity markets and larger-scale macro events. All-in-all a pretty good distraction on morning subway rides to work.

I came in here just to recommend Market Snacks. I enjoy it very much.

 

@billbelichick69" not exactly a newsletter that gets emailed to you but Oilpro has a Top O&G news of the day as well as one for major events, economic and non-economic related. Quick read and will help you find other sources of niche O&G news sites.

FuelFix is another source for O&G news although they tend to be late in reporting major events such as mergers than Bloomberg and other financial news sites.

If I find more I'll let you know...

 

+1 for Term Sheet, it's one of the only dailies I get that I don't filter to a different folder for later.

MM IB -> Corporate Development -> Strategic Finance
 

I like dealbook's daily briefs from the NYT. You can read all of it if you have time or just skim the headlines if you're a little slammed.

 

WSJ's CFO Journal (sorry, but it's what I got -- and I'm on the corporate side, so take this for what its worth) Wall Street Breakfast from Seeking Alpha

Director of Finance and Corporate Development: 2020 - Present Manager of FP&A and Corporate Development: 2019 - 2020 Corporate Finance, Strategy and Development: 2011 - 2019 "An investment in knowledge pays the best interest." - Benjamin Franklin
 

Paul Donovan's morning briefing from UBS -- this is essential to start my day FirstFT -- good overview of what's going on in the world, and FT reporting is top notch Economist Espresso -- a good supplement to fill in the blanks that FT hadn't covered in the realms of IR and politics

Finally, while not financial, Politico's Playbook is my favorite newsletter and is the "pastry" to my breakfast of newsletters. The additional articles are often fun, the "spotted" section is hilarious in a sad, only-inside-the-Beltway fashion ("Chuck Todd was spotted buying bags of fish oil at the McLean Giant!"), and it provides a good overview of different views on domestic policy. There's also Morning Money, but the writing is more spiteful and the newsletter is less fun to read.

 

Finimize (highly recommend and very quick read), Termsheet, and the Pitchbok Newsletter- PC & VC Edition are ones I try to read daily. Subscribed to Market Snacks after reading this post, which is a solid source as well.
