Good blogs / sites?

Seems like the internet has gotten lamer recently.

Dealbreaker seems to be run by people who aren't even in finance anymore. Leveraged sellout / Epicurean dealmaker type blogs don't seem to exist anymore.

Seems like most of the online finance type content is on instagram now with people like @ebitdad and @notyourfathersbroker .

What are your guys favorite sites / blogs outside of mainstream content (WSJ, Alphaville, etc.) ?

Doesn't have to be finance related. I like slatestarcodex and Damodaran's blog.

EDIT:

I know about Pro Rata, Matt Levine, Termsheet, etc... Looking for something a bit more fun or thought-provoking

 

I think at times it is valuable to stay away from commentaries and focus on the source.

Sometimes I feel like I pick up the news and only hear chatter about chatter. What is this, a copy of a copy of life? I don't want that. Give me the original.

"If you always put limits on everything you do, physical or anything else, it will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them." - Bruce Lee
 

Other than the guys on Bloomberg (Levine, Ritholtz, Bershidsky, McArdle) I like Ben Kabak's 2nd Ave Sagas ( http://secondavenuesagas.com/ )It's nerdy NYC transit infastructure, but well written. FiveThirtyEight is also interesting. I really do miss Gothamist for hyper-local trash.

The only difference between Asset Management and Investment Research is assets. I generally see somebody I know on TV on Bloomberg/CNBC etc. once or twice a week. This sounds cool, until I remind myself that I see somebody I know on ESPN five days a week.

jackthreads.com -- best clothes/shoes site for big discount

2dopeboyz.com -- great site for underground rap

JackThreads is shit. For starters, almost everything they post is made of paper and is a desperate attempt to dickride old trends. Furthermore, their business model is shit.

Almost all of their "deals" can be found cheaper elsewhere. Their in-house brand, Goodale, is heavily "marked-down," but JackThreads is the only place you can buy it and it's never sold at "retail." They use the same artificial mark-down for lots of other brands.

Gilt is superior in every way. They actually have quality items with real mark-downs. 6pm.com is also good for finding deals.

 

If you're looking for humor, I like cracked. Also, a good sports/comedy combo is sportspickle.

I'm sick and tired of chasing my dreams. I'm just going to ask them where they're going and hook up with them later.

reddit- everything random Amazon- I like having my toiletries and other random shit shipped too me for cheaper than going to the store Pandora- just easy for music

"You stop being an asshole when it sucks to be you." -IlliniProgrammer "Your grammar made me wish I'd been aborted." -happypantsmcgee
 

Definitely Reddit.

I've been drifting away from Pandora as of late because of the frequency of ads (especially on the app). Using 8tracks. Though you may not get the best variety of quality playlist since the community seems to be pretty young, the lack of commercials is great.

I am in UK. I follow:

FT.com (for facts) Economist.com (for views) - they have lot of interesting videos / blogs etc Dealbreaker.com Efinancialcareers.co.uk (News section and the Answers section) News.bbc.co.uk Dealbook (NYT) Wallstreetoasis

If you can follow all the above regularly, you'll very much be in the loop. Follow their twitter/rss whatever but they should be enough.

Good luck!

well worth a look. Only one blog published a day, so not too much effort to follow. They've also got this dictionary of business and finance terms that has everything you could need in, as well as some fascinating interviews and Best Practice articles.

Everything you could need, except for up-to-the-minute news. But who doesn't use the FT for that?

 

YCharts is my favorite place to get data, but you need to subscription to it.

I put together a LEI index for my Sr. Analyst last week and have all the indicators on file and could just send em to you if you let me know which ones you need.
