Day 98: Bloomberg Radio

My Best Guess: Get up-to-the-minute reports on the current state of everything from the Dow Jones and S&P to your favorite stocks and hedge funds with the financial experts at Bloomberg Radio.

According to Sirius: In-depth coverage of international capital markets, with insight and analysis of the business of money. Bloomberg "zeros in" on business on the 0's at 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 past the hour and at the top of every hour. From Wall Street to London to Tokyo, Bloomberg draws on a global news team of 1,900 reporters in 102 news bureaus worldwide to deliver up-to-the-minute coverage of financial markets from the frontlines as news happens.

Curt's Rebuttal: Alrighty. To be honest...I have no idea what a "hedge fund" even is, so you best go with their description.

Sample Playlist
  • Bloomberg on the Money: My morning drive, which discussed what's troubling J.C. Penney stock, as well as why Walgreen's stock is dropping while the stock of CVS is on the rise.
  • Bloomberg: The Final Word: An afternoon drive back from the Toyota client featured a riveting discussion entitled "Going Down the Credit Card Crisis Trail," featuring an honest-to-goodness professor as a guest. He may have even been a professor of ECONOMICS!
Verdict: Pass...most of the stuff was over my head, and the programming here is hardly designed to "bring people up to speed" on financial matters. It's definitely for those already well-versed in all-things money-related.
