Talking about money may be taboo, but it never hurts to read and listen to the experts.
We live in ‘interesting times’ and finances are no exception. I asked financially savvy ASE subscribers, Anne F., Robin K, and my entire start-up-VC-PE-next generation – who they look to for current thinking on investments. Here are some favorite sources. No one has a crystal ball – so the best advice is to read a number of opinions and choose your unique path to financial enlightenment.
The following sources are both blogs and newsletters. A blog stays on the expert’s website and can be seen by anyone. A newsletter is emailed to a specific group of people, and you will need to sign up in order to receive it. Most are free but some are behind ‘pay walls’, i.e., they require a subscription fee.
Morning Brew (Daily)
Morning Brew is the main newsletter, but their ‘daughter’ newsletters come highly recommended: Emerging Tech Brew and Money Scoop.
From Morning Brew,
“Hey there! We’re Morning Brew, a media company committed to helping you, the business leader of tomorrow, become smarter in minutes.
