There is a wealth (pun intended) of financial information out there, and we mean massive.

Banks and financial institutions all have their reports and analyses. You’ve got dailies, weeklies, monthlies, quarterlies, half-yearlies, and so on. You have a good handful of the reputable financial newspapers like the Wall Street Journal and Financial Times, and the likes of CNBC and Bloomberg being just the tip of the iceberg. You’ve got all sorts of mediums from the morning news being screened at your local gym, to your mobile phone apps and notifications.

As a newbie, the amount of sources itself can be overwhelming, and where do we begin? Let me share with you an episode of mine. I ambitiously subscribed to the Wall Street Journal, and felt super proud about my commitment to read it… until one week in.
