Top 10 podcasts for investors worldwide
Warren Buffett is definitely a believer in self-education. He reads for five or six hours per day, which allows him to keep on top of business and finance news, discover new ideas and hone his critical thinking skills.
While reading is wonderful, there’s an even more efficient way to consume knowledge – podcasting. Unless you’re a speed-reader, you listen faster than you read, which is why podcasts allow you to learn faster than books. They’re also more flexible, because you can listen to podcasts everywhere you can read books – as well as when you’re exercising at the gym, commuting to work or doing household chores.
So here are 10 podcasts for investors to subscribe to, no matter where in the world you are.
