Company News Update

[weijian]

But with the general feed there is just too much to look at I reckon, much of which may be irrelevant to a value investor==noise

Imho it's better to screen for stocks that fit ones criteria then put them in a watchlisT and closely monitor news that may be catalyst.

More importantly I prefer macro news updates. For eg. If u own a few  semiconductor stocks, it's useful to follow the general happenings in the sector. If the sector news is positive, then very likely the semiconductor companies one owns should do well and there is no need to focus so much on each stock.

However for a trader.speculator. short term  type investor then probably keeping tabs on all companies will increase opportunity of picking up on certain bullish events like share buy back and insider buy in.

I would like to think that reading the macro news wld really be noise for the value investor. But sometimes, noise in one's eyes is definitely music for another.

For retail OPMI who have another full time job or other (family) responsibiliies, i do agree that it is not easy to read EVERYTHING. What i do practise myself is LOOK at everything but just READ those that comes out from my mental filter. Forum with discussions help even more to stir the indepth studies n further reading.
