Drowning in Information and Starving for Knowledge

With all of the corruption in the media today, the subject line of this email could easily read drowning in Mis-information and starving for knowledge.

And to quote a famous historian:

 “If you do not read the newspaper you are uninformed.  If you do read the newspaper you are misinformed.”

~Mark Twain~

Ironically, if Mark Twain were alive today, his quote would say “internet” instead of newspaper.

Afterall, newspapers are today’s dinosaurs on the verge of extinction.

Wall Street has long known and professed the belief “…by the time you read it in the papers, it’s old news.”

But why?

That’s because a lot of trading action takes place before the “news” got to the public.

The difference today is, with the internet and social media, information is instantaneous.

And often goes viral long before it becomes mainstream.

Starving for Knowledge

Ironically (or NOT) Twain’s quote about being “misinformed” is even more true regarding the information available today.

In other words, there’s more garbage out there than ever before…especially with all the Fact Checkers/Censors.

Sad to say but, in reality we are “…Starving for Knowledge.”

If you think about it, all information is some form of knowledge (good or bad).

However, information is useless unless you understand how it applies to your investment strategy AND how to function in an information crazed world.

And when you understand information/knowledge and put it to practice in your own life, you’ll find Wisdom.

So, with all of the information available, why do most investors make the same mistakes over and over again?

It’s simple.

They’re starving for knowledge and confused over so much mis-information bombarding them 24/7.

And that’s why at FinancialsMatter, our combined 111+ years of experience on Wall Street teaches you how to separate the “information wheat from the chaff”.
