How to Use the Links provided above:
1. Keep this link in your internet browser's favorite folder
2. Know What is Happening in the World (CURRENT AFFAIRS): Everyday watch online news channels anytime of day, and read text news from the various global and Singapore sources listed. When you are on the road, tune to news radio channels like the BBC World Service which gives good update on current affairs, history and developments in science etc.
3. Know What is Happening in World Economy (DAILY MARKET NEWS, ECONOMIC ANALYSES): Everyday visit some of the sites listed (over time you would know which site is your favourite)
4. Scan Titles for Big Picture: Scan titles of news or articles for new or interesting topics. Read the interesting ones. There are too many articles to read all everyday. Look out for 'Macro Economic Linkages' (how one event is related to other events elsewhere) http://cckplanetblog.blogspot.com/2012/02/macro-economic-linkages.html
5. Know More Details (KEY MARKET INDICATORS, COUNTRY specific news): Once a while, take a look at some key economic and market indicators (for big picture view) or go to country specific sections when you need more details from/about that country.
6. Company Details: Last section provide links to sites where you can get information about individual companies around the world like share price history, company financials, etc.
Caution:
1. Remember 'Elephant and Blindmen' - never believe what is said in any one article or source from a country, always check other sources from other parts of the world and think!
2. History is the key. News reports are just snapshots of what happened yesterday. Just like a 1 second snippet from a 2 hour movie, one cannot tell the true story by just looking at the snippet. 'Daily news' are of little value for people without 'big picture' and knowledge of history.
Notes:
1. Key Economic Indicators of US listed above are just indicators on state of US economy and is not applicable to the whole world! They are watched because the US is (was) the world largest consumer and buy things from all round the world. When their economy is not doing well, others who sell to them MAY suffer along. But that will not be the case in future when the US becomes less relevant to the world.
2. Each news source is like a different window to the world, each allows you to look at the outside at a different angle. It is your responsibility to put those different perspectives together to form the best picture.
3. Powerful people use the press to manipulate public opinions to their favour. That is why all governments want to control the newspapers in their countries by either directly owning them or issuing printing licenses to people who support them.
Quotes:
Those who don't read newspapers are under-informed, those who do are mis-informed - Mark Twain
Freedom of the press is limited to those who own one - AJ Liebling
Men who do not know history will forever be boys - Tacitus (Roman Historian)
