The remarkable thing is not just how mistaken these reporters seem, but how sure they are of themselves. It must be a general reporter m.o. always to speak with certainty. Usually they get away with it, but when talking about startups this trick can blow up spectacularly.https://twitter.com/SamRo/status/1372132647795851272 …

Customers(readers/employers) of the reporter don't weigh by the outcome. Imagine being Wall Street reporter being wrong 90% of the time but occasionally right on a few home runs - well in that case he won't be a reporter anyways.

“In the short term the market’s a voting mechanism. In the long term, a weighing one.” Don’t know if news stories have weights

and we don't see reporters on rich lists (unless they own the newspaper). I'm sure they want to be rich, so they don't know.

That's the same as a reporter - basing decisions on the past. Investors have the added benefit of creating their reality by their choices. My def of 'smart' is to predict well enough to build the future before anyone else, but that doesn't have a chance w/o those investors.

Hey paul, i am afraid this might be a stupid question. I couldn't quite understand what you mean by "weigh your predictions by outcome". I'd be glad if you could give an example, or an elaboration.
