I’ve seen a lot more news stories trying to do something that seems a bit weird these days: stoke anger between generations.
I bring this up because it’s an example of why, when it comes to picking stocks (and 8%+ paying closed-end funds), we simply can’t trust the media anymore.
Why? Because many outlets are so focused on generating emotional responses (and the clicks that go with them) that they’ve gotten far away from what really matters: the real data behind what they’re saying.
With that in mind, we’re going to look at a data-driven indicator that tells us whether or not it’s a good time to buy. No fear. No clickbait. Just pure data.
