Building up Finance knowledge

[YQHeng93]

Hi there

I'm a beginner and starting to build up my knowledge on Finance. What are the news sources you recommend for everyday reading? Bloomberg? CNBC? Business Times (by SPH)? The Economist? Singapore Business Review?

I'm also looking to start an OCBC Young Investor account in future when I think I'm ready. Are there better places to start investing?

go to a good seminar?
5 days spoonfeed you everything bump up your knowledge

but expensive, typically charge u 2-5k. must choose a good teacher


alternatively, u can spend tons of time reading intelligent investor, securities analysis, common profits uncommon stock and still dunno what they talking about
its free

dont bother with financial news. you are better off not listening to them.

Their incentive lies with delivering juicy news that can generate advertising revenue, not delivering profitable ones.

1 moment they say jobs report good, market chiong. Next moment they say interest rate hike, market tank. Jin exciting woh.

the only reason to listen to them is for entertainment

For both value investors and traders, i recommend starting with trading!
yes! Trading let you get a feel of how in control you are of your emotion and your decision making ability. and also it lets you observe market ebb and flow. you will notice all stocks good or bad goes up and down. must be mentally prepared. Not say value it will only go up ... value stocks also can go down greater than 20% from your purchase before reboudning upwards..
