Financial cool is a list of communities, tools, books, products and everything useful that can be found online revolving around finance, with a focus on personal finance and retail investing. You won't find the Bloomberg terminal listed here, but you will find a lot of useful tools to help you with your personal finance journey.
The repository intends to give visibility to these tools and stimulate the community to use them and, why not, to growing the personal finance ecosystem.
!! Invest at your own risk, do your research before buying any product. Remember that any promise of high hield in the short term is either too risky or a lie.
This repository is not affiliated or endorsed by any of the listed tools, products or communities. Any investment decision you make is solely your responsibility, and you should do your own research before investing. This list is BIASED, if a service is missing it means I do not like it or don't know much about it, so feel free to open a PR to add it and I will review it.
