We have cherry picked some responses from the comments section at the foot of the original article, but it is worth reading all of them as there are many websites and podcasts that might be worth your time that we haven’t mentioned here. Once you’ve combed through the list, Doddsville would love to hear about any other websites or podcasts that you use or listen to regularly.
As a Christmas bonus, I have also added a handful of online articles that I am planning to read in 2011. Some are quite long, such as the entire collection of Warren Buffett interviews with Forbes, but I expect the value will substantially outweigh the effort. If there are any other cracking online stories that you have read, then please drop the webpage address in the comments section.
Australian business news sources
* The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age – these broadsheets are becoming less relevant, but we still look at them every day.
* The Australian – has become more relevant since its tie up with The Wall Street Journal.
* The Australian Financial Review – we generally read the hard copy, perhaps because the first crack at an online offering was so ham-fisted. But apparently it’s better now. You need to subscribe for full online access.
* We also regularly turn to The Courier-Mail and The West Australian for geographic and journalistic diversity.
* This part of the ASX website is useful for monitoring company announcements.
* In recent times, Business Spectator has become a valid alternative to The Australian Financial Review.
* Yahoo Finance Australia is also useful for local news and data (such as historical prices).
* The ABC Background Briefing program often discusses financial issues.
Australian and international aggregators
An aggregator site pools information from far and wide.
* We generally use wotnews to find articles on Australian companies.
* Try Yahoo Finance or Google News when searching for the latest articles on international companies.
International news sources
* The Wall Street Journal and Financial Times are wonderful international newspapers. Much of the good stuff is for subscribers only, but we’re fans of paying up for high quality content.
* The New York Times also has impressive business reporting.
* We also read The Economist and Slate for a different point of view.
* For following the ‘news flow’, we use Bloomberg, Yahoo Finance, Yahoo Finance UK and Google Finance.
* We also regularly find ourselves on the websites of traditional finance magazines like Fortune and Forbes.
Prominent value investors
* Guru Focus is an aggregator site for information on respected value investors.
* Berkshire Hathaway is the source for Warren Buffett’s wonderful annual letter to shareholders. We likewise never miss the annual letter to Leucadia shareholders.
* There are many fund manager websites worth visiting, but we’ve highlighted the following four because of the excellent content they make available to all – GMO for the excellent research Jeremy Grantham provides, Kerr Neilson’s Platinum Asset Management, Bedlam Asset Management, PIMCO and the research of Michael Mauboussin from Legg Mason. Members of The Intelligent Investor will find another useful list in A world of opportunity: Your overseas investing survival guide.
Investing newsletters (subscription services)
* The Intelligent Investor – Naturally, we recommend this newsletter for Australian stock research.
* Grant’s Interest Rate Observer is focused on interest rates and economic issues with a contrarian bent.
* The HCM Market Letter generally looks at issues top-down, but is also contrarian.
* We love Outstanding Investor Digest for its unique but irregular interviews of great value investors.
* Value Investor Insight covers similar ground, but is published more regularly.
* Breakingviews.com is another site we look to for quality, timely insights into stock and economic news.
* The Graham and Doddsville newsletter is FREE.
Investing podcasts/vodcasts
* Of course, none of our analysts ever miss an episode of The Intelligent Investor’s Stock Take.
* We like The Big Money, part of the Slate empire.
* Financial Times’ Martin Wolf also produces an interesting podcast.
* The Economist, unsurprisingly, also produces some good podcasts.
* Try Planet Money for something different.
* The Lateline Business vodcast often has some interesting interviews.
* The Motley Fool offers a weekly look at the US stockmarket.
