- Summary:
- "Even the most savvy, knowledgeable investors are overwhelmed by the 24/7/365 financial news cycle that bombards us from virtually every media platform. Known for his no-nonsense exposure of how Wall Street really works, Josh Brown, along with Yahoo's Breakout host Jeff Macke, demonstrates how the news is processed and packaged from the pundits on the screen to the producers running the show. Written for investment pros and everyday joes, The News and the Noise [sic] is an insider's how-to guide for discerning what matters from what's show biz" -- from publisher's web site.
