From a national (USA) perspective I see people obsess over the markets (as they should given it's their life savings at play). My observations is that the older crowds watch cnbc, fox business news, or NBR (rip [1]). In bad times watching this news brings a sense of panic to the boomer. In good times it still just raises their blood pressure.
~15 years ago I would read the financial times and watch Nightly Business Report on pbs after school. These days I stick to headlines and conspiracy theories... doubling down on surfacing sources through duckduckgo and twitter. I use the !bang feature so as not to limit my results to bing. Certainly not ideal. This results in much of the financial news I stumble upon seeming like a WWE act[2].
Are there any Paul Kangas like sources that I'm missing other than r/wallstreetbets?
