If you have read me for any length of time, you know I am less than enthralled with much of what passes for financial news.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've been a financial journalist for 30 years.
I'm a big advocate of financial intelligence.
The great thing about having money is that you can actually just get on with your life and not have to think about paying the bills or crouch over 'The Wall Street Journal' or the 'Financial Times' and look at the stock figures and things like that. That bores me rigid.
I don't really read a lot of newspapers. I don't pay attention to what is being said or written about me. I've had lots of experiences in the past when I got too much into it. That sort of diverts your focus.
I've always been covered by a press that's mostly financial press.
Truth be told, most financial television bores me. Two or more people discussing the latest economic trends or hot stocks is not especially entertaining.
I'm not a Wall Street expert, but I can read the papers.
I understand that finance can be very complex.
It's great that people get together and collaborate, talk about the facts and the analysis, all in the interest of having a great financial system.
The longer I go on, the more I am aware of the power of finance.
