Business Insider has been my guilty pleasure for a some time now. While a good 50% of the articles barely qualify as journalism (read: shitty articles written by wet behind the ears 20-somethings about their lack of adulting skills, sensationalist headlines etc.), it has an interesting mix of news with a Wall St slant.
I have to hold my nose every time I use the site however, because it was founded by Henry Blodget. For those of you who don't remember what a scumbag Henry is, see here.
TL;DR, Henry was banned from the securities industry for life by publicly hyping internet stocks during the dotcom boom, meantime telling private clients to sell because the stocks were garbage. Such bans are rare, so egregious was his conduct. He was also fined $4 million. Which means individual investors listening to his 'advice' probably lost 100x that.
Lately more and more articles are behind a paywall on BI which reminded me that not only is the motherfucker is never getting a penny from me, I need to find another place to get this type of info.
Aside from the obvious like WSJ and MarketWatch, what other sites have a comparable mix of financial oriented news?
