What use is finance news?9 Mar 2018 10:37
I go to google finance to check how my holdings are doing. When some of my holdings are up, the share price climbing, I red on the right hand side various news relating to the stock, it's mostly all negative. And when the same stock share price is falling, the news is mostly positive.
This doesn't make any sense to me. Also how can the same news sources come up with news about the same company what seems like every single day? Are you just making it all up I begin to wonder.
I can't see the point in reading that stuff anymore. Most of what they do know has no bearing on what is really going on with a company. And they are not to know what others are thinking.
It just seems to me that in a way they try to influence traders and investors for the own ends rather than providing any noteworthy information.
What use do you think such finance news has on your trading and investing decisions?
