Admittedly this forum is more tame compared to other sites which is good. I deleted FB a long time ago. Sure it has it's uses by letting people stay connected, but it's nice to break free from it. Coincidentally it was about the same time my mum sent me a friend request. The thought of her trying to send a private message, but really it ends up on everyones feed.
I was on different threads on Reddit. More of a US bias naturally. I think I did pick up some useful information. I remember in a car thread, one poster worked as a new car salesman. Basically letting everyone know how things were changing in terms like getting rid of sales incentives, how much buyers were borrowing (the US loves to borrow). Too me that's stuff is quite interesting. Because it's quite hard to get investment ideas when the economies are gloomy.
