What resources should investors be looking at when following the markets?
Almost the same answer as to how do I identify companies. You want your resources to be verifiable, reputable, and with proven results. Our team and strategies, for example, hit all marks. I mentioned how when looking at companies to invest in I like it when I see a post secondary institution or some other reputable organisation partnering with them. CannaInvestor Magazine of course was selected as a partner by Durham College. Our team is best in class and we are all there for the same reason - accurate and reliable content to raise awareness.
We do not see such partnering with paid promoters, influencers, social media and subreddit hobbyists, etc. AGAIN - I cannot stress enough that does not mean one cannot make a lot of money following or subscribing to those sources -- it is just that they represent a very different model compared to us.
From there ... company websites for source documents or from SEDAR or stock exchanges. I am not overly interested in self-interest based opinion pieces that hide behind anonymous IDs. SEDI is an excellent and free website that tracks insider transactions in almost near time. Not long ago, a popular promoter using Twitter was caught with his hand in the cookie jar because a skeptical follower discovered using SEDI that the promoter was indeed receiving Options from the very company he was promoting and at least one key transaction date on SEDI was the exact same date as one of the promoters most bullish recommendations.
Unfortunately, the dark side of social media raised its ugly head and the promoter closed his account and stated that he and his family were receiving threats. One can see how people could target this promoter if they lost money; however, when it comes down to it who is really blame is using and relying on platforms such as Twitter, FaceBook, subreddit, and bulletin boards for your investment information and strategies?
