I hope everyone had a great 4th of July!
For this month’s women and financial planning article, I wanted to revisit a topic from our recent Webex session. A common question we hear is, "Where can I go to get reliable financial news?" In response, I’ve put together a list of sources that I read daily. With so much news and clickbait material out there, some of our readers have asked for recommendations on trustworthy educational material. These sources cover a variety of investment-related topics and are generally easy to digest.
I’ve also included a book that my partner Ed highly recommends for those interested in learning more about investing in stocks for the long term. If you have a specific topic or subject you're interested in, please don’t hesitate to reach out, and I’d be happy to guide you in the right direction.
