Hal Morris, who writes on the grumpyeditor.com blog, took a look at this morning’s coverage of Monday’s markets and wonders what’s going on.
“Wall Street Journal Online: Stocks slid Monday despite a lack of significant negative news, led by continued weakness in the technology sector and exacerbated by a downgrade to Dow component Boeing.
“Reuters: Stocks declined Monday as investors sold off big-name technology stocks amid concerns about the sector’s outlook, while blue chip aircraft maker Boeing Co.. sank on a brokerage downgrade.
“Associated Press: Wall Street stumbled lower Monday as growing concerns over technology companies led jittery investors to pull money out of the market ahead of this week’s earnings reports.”
See more examples of confused coverage here. What does Morris conclude? “Grumpy Editor recalls the days when two words summed up market action when there was no consensus: profit-taking.”
