Looking for substantive business and financial content.
I need articles discussing investment options and market developments, not talking heads who talk all around a topic without any meaningful content.
Any suggestions?

zerohedge.com
David Stockman’s Contra Corner
seekingalpha.com
Fool.com

I watch all the biz channels and surf most of the websites. Each is different and adds a little bit to the discussion. I’ve not found any of them that are comprehensive.
CNBC is a bit above Fox Biz as far as breaking news, but the liberal commentary seems to be getting worse and worse on CNBC. If it weren’t for Joe Kernan, I wouldn’t watch at all. I like the 6 PM (Eastern) show on Fox with Charles Payne. He seems to know what he’s doing.
Surprisingly, Bloomberg TV has quite a bit of straight business reporting, and if you’re listening on Sirius radio, it has the best market updates every 15 minutes or so.
Online, I use Yahoo Finance quite a bit, because when you click on the individual stocks, there are links to all recent stories on that particular company. Marketwatch.com has some decent articles sometimes.
I also have read Motley Fool over the years, and the Wall Street Journal. For the basics, Kiplinger’s Personal Finance can’t be beat. Used to be called Changing Times years ago.
I’ve found Johnathan Clements to be one of the best personal finance writers around. He writes for the WSJ, and has his own website.
I don’t have any idea of a good Christian financial site but you may want to see who Dave Ramsey might recommend, if anyone. Just a thought.
I like the Motley Fool, but they have had “big” misses on their forecasts which cost me some dough. Kiplinger’s so far, has been really good.
If you are pro-Russia, anti-US, then ZeroHedge is your best choice.
I second that - seekingalpha is one of the best in depth analysis of stocks. Be sure to read the comments after the articles, they’re as worthwhile as the articles.
I find motley fools useful too.
Their commentary has really gone down hill since they stopped requiring that you solve a math problem before posting a comment.

In any case, if contrarianism is your gig, I recommend Bill Fleckenstein. You have to hunt a bit for his columns, but he strikes me as a stand-up guy (in the sense that he doesn't try to sell you gold, is unafraid to give you his opinion, signs his name to it, and back in the day would respond to your questions via email).

Thanks for all the suggestions!
