Use the News

Maria Bartiromo talked about Use the News: How to Separate the Noise from the Investment Nuggets and Make Money in Any Economy, published by Harper Business. The book describes the tools she believes are needed for making sound financial decisions concerning the stock market. Ms. Bartiromo reminded investors that they shouldn’t always believe what they hear about a stock on television or read on the Internet. She said that understanding the stock market requires common sense and research, and she listed indicators she feels will predict a stock’s performance. She also discussed information sources like the federal government, corporate reports and business web sites. A question-and-answer period followed Ms. Bartiromo’s presentation. close
