Abstract
Now that you are fed on a diet of getting your financial news secondhand through the prism of journalists, isn’t it about time you knew how those journalists change things?

As for the guru, the pundit and the expert on financial TV — believe me when I say it is only because they are on TV that they are a “guru.” The proof will be revealed as you read on.
Profits, like sausages… are esteemed most by those who know least about what goes into them. Alvin Toffler
