Oh wait now. 3.24% bias. OMG. Men are horrible, horrible creatures.
Oh wait. Can someone let me write this article. 3.24% of all male writers at WSJ are complete morons? Or perhaps 3.24% of editors who hire reporters at WSJ have absolutely no shame? I mean I can pretty much say anything when the barrier is 3.24% !!!
Oh wait, not so fast. I have to conduct a study first before I promise to prove it. I can put 3 numbers on top of each other in bold letters with the 3rd being the difference of the 2 above it. 3.24% !!! Who knew !!!
“The biggest surprise for me,” Dr. Kumar concludes, “was the fact that the market consistently doesn’t recognize that this bias exists.”
And the market is supposed to do what with this information exactly? Not trust favorable / unfavorable comments made by analysts 3.24% of the time if the analyst and the CEO were of opposite sex?
I have a few choices on what to do now. a) Put my fist through my laptop b) Jump out of nearest window c) Climb into my attic and cry.
Why can't I make a living writing articles. I really want to settle on Mars....
