A common complaint heard among investors is information overload. The sheer amount of information produced by the financial media each day is more than most can process. That’s why Fisher Investments created MarketMinder. The editorial team scours the news each day to bring readers the most important events of the day. They do the work of sifting and sorting and provide a summary of what’s important. In addition, MarketMinder breaks it down into two groups, “Sensible Stories” and “Market Misperceptions.” The “Sensible Stories” are the stories they believe correctly interpret market issues and current events, while the “Market Misperceptions” are the stories that, in their opinion, perpetuate investing myths, basic misunderstandings of capitalism, and other common market misperceptions.
Another complaint Fisher Investments occasionally hears is there is no shortage of negative news in financial media. Finding anything positive is a real challenge at times. Dour and pessimistic headlines sell newspapers — so it’s not surprising we see a lot of them. Bear markets, slow economies and negative sentiment only makes things worse. But in reality there is still plenty of positive financial news out there, it just gets overlooked. So, Fisher Investments created a section called “Sunny Side” to highlight positive financial news. It’s not fair and balanced — it’s designed so that if you find yourself feeling especially glum, you can get a healthy dose of positive news. As hard is it might be to believe, there are still many positives in the world today.
Finally, it’s often difficult to determine which news sources to trust. If you look closely, you can find stories in the financial media which contradict each another . You can also find stories that are misguided or simply wrong. MarketMinder and http://www.fi.com/ tells you which stories to pay attention to, which stories to ignore, and why.
The goal of MarketMinder is to intelligently and objectively present and discuss global economic, political and market issues in Ken Fisher complaints. MarketMinder is backed by Fisher Investments’ research team under the direction of Ken Fisher complaints about the media are common, but with MarketMinder you can gain an edge of http://www.fisherinvestments.com. I work with Fisher Investments and recommend visiting www.marketminder.com or its Education Center at www.fi.com/.
