Lots of interesting blogs to read and explore, and a thriving forum for traders, just like the Bet Angel blog and forum :)

Having listened to Motley fool podcasts over a year now, I gotta say that the UK Motley fool is much better. I found the older podcasts from David Kuo of quite good learning value.

The US Motley fool podcasts in comparison is below expectations - jibber-jabber like timeform radio. More talk, less knowledge.

I also find these videos a great learning tool, and the presenters are great too:
Tim Bennett - MoneyWeek

Personally have never been too fond of it's articles, nor of one of the columnist on that site (Merryn Somerset Webb). Even as a free registered user I can't read more than 5 articles per month. Have moved on from FT and found much better blogs to gain knowledge.

Also, speaking of blogs, Peter (Euler) used to write for ShareScope (or sharesMagazine). I downloaded about 20 articles off the website last year and archived them in a word document. Great little gems of articles. I've read em all. Shame they're on longer on the website.

I'm lucky in that I'm in a position where I get full access to the FT online for free. The thing about the FT is that if you don't like one columnist, you don't have to read their pieces because there are more than enough articles from their legion of other columnists to read. There are some genuinely brilliant articles on that website and you'll struggle to find articles on the same intellectual plane (in finance) anywhere on the net. Sure it might not be best for learning about finance, but it is fabulous.

Cheers for those, I was subscribed to the second one but not the first - some really good videos in there!

It's great people spend time making these videos for nothing!

Yeah, there are some remarkably great people and blogs that add more learning value for free than their paid counterparts.

I started my basics last year watching all videos in the 'Economics and Finance' section from:
https://www.khanacademy.org/

Sal Khan is one of those great people. Millions of students around the world benefit from his videos.
