During the ship-stuck-in-the-canal days, I was introduced to freightwaves.com, and another HN post along the line introduced me to mining.com. What are some interesting, in-depth sites similar to those but for other industries? Like for solar, wind, and nuclear, for instance? I can google them, but I like hearing recommendations from people that are in the industry!
For many years, and likely still today, the most in depth site for mining events (all 'facts', zero editorial) was what is now the S&P subscription service:
if that's your sphere of interest it's worth a trial - it logged every global mineral lease detail change and summarised every public market release ( change of board, acquisition of sub company, financial report, tech report, above threshold share assignments, etc ) for global mineral companies across Australia, Canada, South Africa, South America, (and the smaller US minerals market) etc stock exchanges with semi decent (former) USSR | Chinese coverage and bound it together with GIS, timelines, etc.
I'm no longer affiliated (for more than a decade) .. but it was a source for mining.com stories and heavily used by serious investors.
( all 'facts' .. it's a demonstrably provable fact that Company XYZ released a statement on the Toronto TSX stating the aquisition of leases 150 km NW of CrazyGully, Novada, and a similarly provable fact that former owner DEF-Co released a Technical Report with listed sample results.
It may later become a fact that the authors of that Technical Report fudged some numbers .. these are all facts and all reported | timelined.
We never stated that Ground X had resources Y - only the reported history of who reported what and what third parties did the work, etc )
The sources below are almost entirely submarine articles, but that's how trends arise. Remember hearing about ransomware attacks in the news? That was a purposeful choice a group of Cybersecurity companies chose to begin drumming up from 2019 onwards.
If I'm not mistaken CJR also has a podcast that I remembered liking more than the NYT or WSJ podcasts coming out at the same time (last I listened to it was 4 years ago, not sure about how good it is now).
Substack is a really, really good place for this. I don't remember how I found https://paxtier.substack.com/, but it's a great source of news on algae + seaweed technology/science.
Financial reports and news of companies and stocks (mostly US, I think), focusing on values and fundamentals. I found other similar sites to be too much about short term trends and technical analysis.
This is a great chance to give a shout-out to the Trade Journal Cooperative https://www.tradejournalcooperative.com/ -- not web sites, but it actually delivers paper magazines from interesting industry verticals. Everything from bowling alleys to semiconductors. Also, the covering letter from the editor is wryly observed and usually witty.
Anyone know a good industry news site for Supply Chain related news?
I’ve been trying to understand how the global supply chain works better, the reasons it’s still pretty jacked up, and most importantly, what is currently being done about it
The Odd Lots podcast is great for this. They cover a number of different finance/economics related topics, but they've done some great deep dives into supply chain stuff - they've had the head of Flexport, the guy who runs the Port of LA, a long-haul trucker and a whole host of other folks. Just scroll through their list of old episodes until you see supply-chain related ones.
