General Financial News

​

Bloomberg: www.bloomberg.com 

​

Reuters: www.reuters.com 

​

ZeroHedge: www.zerohegde.com 

Blog on mainly macro/geopolitical themes. Level of detail is sometimes good, but there is quite an Armageddon-ish undertone.

​

​

Market Analysis

​

Forex Factory: www.forexfactory.com 

Its looks are from the 80s, but still the website is used by a wide trading audience: it lists upcoming macro-economic events and ranks them on importance. Also, you can filter by impact, currency, event types. 

​

Investing: www.investing.com 

Nice website (and app for smartphone) to follow markets. It allows you to create a list of favorites. It provides you with news and macro-economic agendas as well.

​

Seeking Alpha: www.seekingalpha.com 

Decent link for market news and data. Main strength is (US) single stock names.

​

Yahoo! Finance: https://finance.yahoo.com

Classic one, but still a good provider of financial stock analysis and historical data.

​

Simply Wallstreet: https://simplywall.st/?view 

Very nice website that does rather broad company analysis across many names, one of my favorites.

​
 

Visualization

 

Tradingview: www.tradingview.com

Good way of plotting and comparing tick data for all big asset classes. One of the better visualization tools I know.

​

Monitor by IEX.nl (Dutch): https://monitor.iex.nl 

Although in Dutch, a very simplistic display of the bigger names across the globe (equity, bonds, currencies, etc.) and quite easy to customize the dashboard.

 

​

Theory

​

Private page: https://bookdown.org/maxime_debellefroid/MyBook/

A rather complete work on derivatives by Maxime de Bellefroid and his Derivatives Academy. What I like about it is the ratio mathematics versus readability (so no encyclopedia and no rocket science). Also, the format of the site is very user friendly. I think the order of topics is a bit random (I wouldn’t start with structured products) and it is not a very practical guide. But all in all a useful link.

 

Private page: https://nate-clark.io/2023/11/26/the-basics-of-financial-statements-for-engineers/ 

Well-written document/blog on how financial statements work, absolute must-read.
