It was an interesting article that I found to be a great basis to start filtering the always longer list of “must-read” financial news. Overall, I agree with your selection, but I believe that this filtering also depends on one’s focus areas. For instance, for number 1: “The market moved”, it, of course, doesn’t make sense if one considers that stock prices follow a random path. However, for chartists, this may be essential information. It could also be the case, for example, that for somebody interested in behavioural finance what Warren Buffett does is crucial. So, filtering financial news is also an individual matter.

Further ways of filtering financial news could be to filter by publishers and authors. Not all sources are as reliable, and some authors are more experimented and up-to-date than others. Of course, one always has to preserve the diversity of publishers and authors, so it isn’t about reading only articles from a given author published on a given website/newspaper.
