A great quote that can be applied to pretty much anything. Doesn't mean that you should ignore opinion pieces completely though, as mentioned above, these (if a wide ranging selection is used) will give you a feel for the investor sentiment. And yes, the best way to succeed in these Wild West days of the markets is to learn learn learn. I use a number of YouTube channels and trading websites to keep up to date on news and learn more about trading. In the last 6 months, I have learned some invaluable tips, now I just need to make sure I stick to them - and it's not always easy. Go fish.
