PTA Perspective… Fairy Tale Stocks Rarely Have Happy Endings!
As a long-term critic of the media, especially business and investing media, Trump’s obsession with “fake news” is very annoying. We take our criticism seriously and have always pulled together facts and figures and academic research to support our arguments that current media coverage is poor, and often harmful to investors. Trump, on the other hand, glibly claims that any media coverage that doesn’t flatter him is “fake news”. No evidence. No rationale. Just a claim that he can’t be wrong, because he is president. That’s sad, but more importantly, it undermines those of us who take our critique of the media seriously. This week we do our best to simply lay out some of our arguments for rational media criticism, and hope that you’ll see the difference between that and Trump’s meaningless phrase, “fake news”. We specifically focus on “fairy tale stocks”… the media darlings that capture the imagination of long-term investors.
