Knowing what's going on the globe so that I have a better idea when I see ''something weird and unexpected" in the chart. I used to look on at the chart, but sometimes there are big movements in price related to big events like federal banks reserve etc... I only used to look at the chart...
Yep, I understand it's too vague. I used not to follow much news since I decided to invest in silver, and now I'm trying to find the best way to get general world news. To have a better idea on how the price, especially in commodities, is influenced from global news
Any "dirty" SEC report. You learn the most from reading enforcement cases by the SEC than any "fundamental" report. Thus, you learn about "clever" accounting practices by CFO´s and CEO´s. Hum, start with ENRON!
You might like Seeking Alpha. That seems to fit in with what you are requesting. Bloomberg TV is good. A lot of people here do their own analysis by looking at the company annual reports and reports at the SEC like the 10-K report. Financial Times and other financial newspapers and their websites might help.
Like @Handle123 posted sometime back, perhaps you can long sliver and trade sliver options around your position. When I do that on the equities I hold for long term, I read Bloomberg, IBS, Wall Street, Morley Fools, Seeking Alpha.... and companies' annual reports, press releases, earning reports, not for trading but to continue evaluate if it is a good stock to hold long term. For my short term trades, I stared at their charts everyday and then decided what and how to trade. For me fundamentals usually did not matter for short term trades. Good luck.
