Is there any serious discussion about the stock market online?

Question

To me it often seems, HN is the only intelligent site on the net. At least for posts that get a lot of votes. Then usually some substantial comments get voted to the top and the nonsense tends to sink to the bottom.I think a lot about the stock market and would love to read some discussion about company valuations. But I have found nothing so far. Neither on social media, nor on classic newspaper sites. All I found so far is cheap nonsense.Is there anything out there worth reading?

Personally, it think you allready understood most of what's happening: Its mostly nonsense. Its all "Future Bets" und "Future Expectations" that are all explained by "Experts" and plain lies from CEOs about actual value. As every toddler can tell you: Nobody can tell you the future.Or do you want to grasp the "inner workings" like "Ratings" and stuff?

No.If I knew something about the stock market that was valuable and I told people for free i would destroy the value of that knowledge.Thus 'those who know don't talk and those who talk don't know'.This is math and you can't get around it. By definition somebody pontificating on the stock market is doing it for self-aggrandizement or to fool you to make bad trades.

Honestly, r/wallstreetbets has the most realistic information. You have to parse through a ton of bs. But theres some good market perspective if you look for it. Otherwise, I have found nothing, maybe r/investing or r/stockmarket, but those are naive.

If you are interested in valuations, /r/securityanalysis might be good subreddit. There are lot of different niche subreddits covering different aspects of stock market so look around.
