Some learning resource: 活到老学到老：这一点也很重要，沃伦巴菲特和查理芒格都是学习机器。他俩主要的学习手段是读书，读年报，在加上自己独立思考。
Warren Buffett reads a lot of company’s annual reports: mostly to learn.
I found listening to companies’ Earning call to be educational sometimes –
奶头乐级别: “NaNa 说美股” 每天市场评述，mainly entertainment value – ;
“小lin说” various topics, mainly entertainment and education value – 个人感觉小林讲的一般不深奥，主要是入门知识，但是她讲的还是有干货的；
美国年轻人Joseph Carlson Show and Joseph Carlson After Hours 他好像有两个频道 – stocks, food for thought – 比如这个油管视频：
Please note one goal for many content creators including YouTubers is getting eyeballs 👀 👁️ and making💰. So keep this in my mind when you consume the online content.
我又想了一下。我觉得网上多数视频包括CNBC Jim Cramer 的mad money，包括Nana 的油管每天更新，还有其它很多，教育或有启发的东西不是很多。娱乐的成分倒是不少。可能有点这个短视频的”奶头乐”的味道吧。或者相当于麦当劳🍔的快餐。光吃那个或天天吃那个可能不是最健康：因为营养成分不够丰富。还是要自己做饭，或吃一些更健康的食品（少吃垃圾食品，少喝可乐等等）[捂脸][呲牙]

I believe everyone is entitled to her or his opinion including political views and affiliation.

Also, we will try to keep out many fake stuffs on Internet or from social medias.
PS:
Hard core MAGAs may find it hard to stay there sometimes because I am “woke”, or Hua Zuo if you will (I may 🙂
Not directly related to this: but I managed to clean up WeChat contacts today (from 321 to 243). I recall research saying that a person can have meaningful relationship with 150 people – so probably I need to further cut down that number, because this is just my Chinse friends. Most people on WeChat are Chinese, which is not a secret.
Previously like I said on the top, if I join a group, my intension is to learn by joining the discussion. If I feel I cannot contribute or if the vibe in a group is totally out of my comfort zone, I leave 🙂
