News: What Matters and What Doesn’t?

Every morning you sit in front of your screens trying to select the very, very best Stocks in Play. You’re looking for the winners. As part of your prep work, you sift through the news. What’s happening out there that will result in volatile price moves? Are there earnings reports, earnings surprises, FDA approvals/disapprovals, mergers, acquisitions, restructurings, a product release? It’s like looking for the proverbial needle in the haystack. There lots of news, and lots of noise, but your job is to find the news that matters. And then, once you find it, you plot your strategy so that you will prosper against the “black boxes”, algorithms and top-secret formulas of the institutional traders.
