Subject: Individual Investor recommendations
The best part about this board is picking up great tidbits from people who are of similar minds. On the board itself there is a lot of wisdom to follow (and unfollow) but I have also found great recommendations of things to follow outside of this board. Especially with Warren retiring there is a big void in my trustable financial advice universe. With that said, I'd like to share with you some of the people I have been filling the void with that I like and trust that perhaps can be useful to you........
1. Steve Eisman podcast. I can't recommend it enough. Eisman is straight forward and shares his opinions for free. Seems like a geniune good and decent person and is spot on with his analysis.
2. Jim Chanos. Short sellers see the world differently and that's why they're so good at spotting things that others don't see. Chanos is a lot like Eisman- straight forward and honest. Short selling is of course a lot more difficult and I would never presume to think I know enough to actually try it but Chanos's insights into nefarious doings is very helpful. He can be difficult to follow because he doesn't have a podcast or anything like that but I'll usually do a google search once a month to see if there are any interviews or articles with his insights.
3. Bloomstran. I won't spend much time on this since there's a fairly big thread going on but I really like the guy. He fits the mould of people I like to follow.
4. Andrew Ross Sorkin. This one is tough because he's of course grouped in with the other CNBC dunderheads (note Kernan, Joe especially) but I think Sorkin is great. Everything he does outside Squak Box is a must watch or read for me. I cannot recommend his new book 1929 highly enough. Just wonderful insight into that period with great parallels to today.
5. Howard Marks. I think that's fairly universal in these circles but I love his insights.
6. We Study Billionaires podcast. This one is a little more wide ranging than the other recommendations because they have on a lot of people that I generally wouldn't listen to. But the format is great- one to two hour interviews with billionaires. You just gotta pick and choose who you listen to.
Please feel free to share some of the people you like to follow as I'm always looking to broaden the scope......
