Best blogs in 2018 (Finance and non finance related)

Hey everyone,

I am looking to find a couple of good regular reads since I have a bit more time on my hands now. So what are your favorite blogs that you always go back to? Not restricted to finance only, political commentaries, philosophy, lifestyle, health, watches, pens etc. can also be included.

Quora is a great one, lots of different opinions without pathetic online beefing.

Absolute truths don't exist... celebrated opinions do.
 
  1. Stratechery - tech focused
  2. Of Dollars and Data
  3. The Brooklyn Investor - is not updated very often anymore
  4. Market Folly --> I like the "what we are reading" section for articles while traveling
"Give me a fucking beer", Anonymous Genius
 

Yeah, some of the junior varsity contributors are a little flakey. But Yves Smith herself is sharp. The Uber takedown was priceless.

 

You have to really dig through bigger pockets for the useful information. Seems almost every thread is commented on by a realtor looking for business and several wannabe big shotz investors/wholesalers.

When I picked up my first few properties I did reference the site for some of my needs; 50/50 with getting them answered by searching.

 

I do a lot on Quora.com -- love the content and the questions. Tons of great minds in VC, Tech, SaaS, Startups, Sales, Finance, Consulting. I've made a pretty good show in terms of answers and questions and it's helped open many doors.

A couple more great sites/blogs:

They eviscerated the economics of Uber. Very smart people. Does get a little fringy on the lefties but they do have some good analysis.

Backer of modern monetary policy which I think has flaws.

I also consider marginal revolution and themoneyillusion as must reads

 

anyone have any recs for entrepreneurship? Real entrepreneurship not click bait drop shipping.

I enjoy starterstory used to read r/entrepreneur but it is trash now a days.

 

Hodinke is alright for horological porn.

Schneier on security— esp the comments. Wickedly smart people.

Strange Flowers— history’s most fascinating weirdos

Takis mag — taki himself is a brilliant, erudite, hilarious writer

RitzHoltz

Politico.eu and the economist if that counts
