Doesn’t it seem as though nearly everything has become more politicized and that people are less willing to agree to disagree?
Even a casual reading of both The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal, on the same day, could make one wonder if they both live on the same planet.
All of this politicizing and focusing on agendas may serve a purpose, but it is not helpful to the long term investor. Informed investing needs reliable information. With so much of the “news” tempered by reporters’ objectives, investors and their advisor(s) have to dig deeper to find reliable information relevant to investment decisions.
Caveat emptor!
