@InsiderInc@thisisinsider It has to be the freedom to experiment with different things in the name of keeping our audience interested. We don’t have to stick to a set daily routine, or write about something if it’s not resonating. I like how hyper-focused we are on keeping our readers entertained.
@InsiderInc@thisisinsider The only game in town for stocks right now is what the Fed will do with interest rates. All of our other big topics — most notably inflation and the prospect of recession — are either inputs or outputs of that. Meme stocks are fun, but don’t speak for the whole market.
@InsiderInc@thisisinsider I tell my wild crypto-trading friends this all the time: only invest in something if you can explain why you’re doing it. Don’t chase trends or blindly follow what someone told you to do. If you don’t want to do the research, stick to diversified assets like ETFs and index funds.
@InsiderInc@thisisinsider I like stories about what makes people tick. If an investor is great, I want to know why. What are their secrets for outperforming millions of people doing the same thing? On the Economy front, if someone is being hurt by inflation, how can we humanize that?
@InsiderInc@thisisinsider It’s a combination of following the news, reading research, analyzing social-media trends, and interviewing experts. By doing all of that we have a really strong idea for what people are most interested in, and what crucial events are upcoming.
@InsiderInc@thisisinsider It’s all about answering the questions our readers have — and those questions change all the time. This year the focus on Markets has been what to do and how to invest as the Fed raises interest rates. And on Economy it’s been all about inflation and the recession outlook.
@InsiderInc@thisisinsider With the economic turmoil we’ve seen lately, we’re focused on the real-world implications of that. We aim to not only inform people of what’s going on, but also make sense of it for them. The stakes are way higher than they were last year, when meme stocks and crypto dominated.
@InsiderInc@thisisinsider No day is the same, but the average one includes some combination of: reading the research in my inbox, brainstorming/assigning stories on the big topics of the day, meeting with reporters and fellow editors, recruiting new hires and, of course, editing.
@InsiderInc@thisisinsider I’ve been in journalism since 2011, after switching away from i-banking. Before Insider I was at Bloomberg for 7 years covering markets. Standout moments: interviews / widely read stories with legends Jeremy Grantham and Rick Rieder + a byline on a Businessweek cover piece.
@InsiderInc@thisisinsider Hello! I’m a deputy executive editor at Insider, in the Business division, and I oversee 3 teams. Investing (paywalled), Markets Insider (non-paywalled), and Economy (non-paywalled). That accounts for 9 editors and roughly 30 reporters.
We're looking to feature investors (particularly women) who have built a real estate portfolio and can speak to the intricacies of finding deals, managing properties, and building equity. If this is you (or someone you know) please DM or email me at kelkins at insider dotcom!
At 12 p.m. ET tomorrow, I'm hosting a conversation on investing strategies for our new normal with @fundstrat, @LCalvasinaRBC, and @JeffreyKleintop. There will be ample audience Q&A. Join us! https://t.co/I9lplXID4o
