I used to listen to financial podcasts once or twice a week, especially from Asian investors, as I found them to be insightful for learning about the market and investing strategies. However, lately, my listening frequency has reduced because I’ve transitioned more toward video content. I’ve discovered that the video format feels more interactive and engaging compared to audio alone. Watching videos allows me to see visual aids, charts, and other elements that help make complex concepts easier to understand. While I still enjoy some podcasts occasionally, I find that videos offer a richer experience for me, as they capture my attention better and prevent things from getting monotonous.

I normally watch YouTube and read articles from various sources... not sure how much time I spent in them though... at times just screen through the articles for a general idea... A recent report from research firm Edison shows that YouTube has surpassed $Apple(AAPL)$ Podcasts and $Spotify Technology S.A.(SPOT)$ to become the most popular podcast platform in the US. Five years ago, Apple was the top platform. @GoodLife99 @LMSunshine @koolgal @Shyon @Aqa @Universe宇

I prefer YouTube than podcast as certain things is best shown with illustrations and not just talk talk talk. Unless, I m not given a choice then I will replay podcast numerous time till I can absorb what the podcaster is trying to tell me. To each its own. Some just like a quick idea of what is going on in the financial world.
I watch video on ig 😃

I don’t listen to podcasts. I prefer to listen to music when I commute or at work. Can’t listen to podcast and learn something while working at the same time[Facepalm].I prefer to gain knowledge through reading or watching videos. @Universe宇宙 @Kaixiang @rL @SPOT_ON @Wayneqq @Fenger1188 @HelenJanet @DiAngel

Watch YouTube frequently. For financial advice, mostly listen & ponder than follow through. Different perspective can be helpful sometimes.
Sometimes for hours 😪

On average, Americans now tune into seven different podcasts each week.Why do you usually listen to podcasts?More and more people are listening to podcasts, especially during their work commutes or while working. Podcasts have no barriers—just listening can help you pick up new knowledge.Some say they listen to podcasts to bridge information gaps and explore the unknown. If you stick to video platforms with “recommended for you” algorithms, the scope of content you encounter might be more limited.Do you usually use podcasts or YouTube to tune into podcast programs?Podcasts are no longer just for listening—some can be watched as well. In fact, in the US, nearly one-third of regular podcast listeners go to YouTube first to watch their favorite shows.A recent report from research firm Edison

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ I found really useful YouTube. Also I own Google's shares so fair enough that I prefer that platform. In reality, the main reason that I got them because I consider that YouTube is a magnificent source to gather knowledge.

I tend to go for various sources. YouTube, financial articles, etc... of course, tiger platform has some pretty good articles as well. but always remember to do your own research and not follow blindly, have risk management, trade within limits and have a diversify portfolio. @Shyon @Aqa @rL @xXxZealandx

[Happy] [Happy]  I follow the financial advice on YouTube and Tik Tok and other news channels. Sometimes these advices are timely and entertaining. Actually I watched the reviews about Tiger Brokers on YouTube before I downloaded my app.  It is good to read widely and listen to financial news from a few sources. Afterall we need to be well informed in the world of investments. Always do your own due diligence before making any trade.

I get mine from @Adam Khoo on YouTube actually.. His investing and trading style resonates with mine. No strategy is perfect, you just need to find one that suits your style, risk appetite and investment horizon.
