Country Lives: Go-to Study and Filter Bubbles

country lives: It found 77% of Americans believe the average person in the country lives in a bubble on the internet, but amusingly only 32% think they personally have their facts wrong, according to Market Watch. There's a certain poetry in the idea that the majority of Americans think that the majority of Americans don't have their facts straight. But one go-to study for me comes from Ipsos, titled Fake News, Filter Bubbles, and Post-Truth Are Other People's Problems. But more importantly for investors, there's a big lesson here about the kind of meta-market we are investing in where you can make plenty of money ignoring the numbers, as long as you can find enough other traders to make the same move alongside you. But I realized this year that viewing the money-losing ideas as errors is all wrong. Since 2013, I've taken an annual accounting of my work on Market Watch in a good-faith effort to own up to my mistakes and trumpet a few well-timed trades that paid off. (news.financializer.com).
