Jeremy Grantham, had some pertinent comments in an interview with Charlie Rose on March 11, 2013.
• "There is an enormous pressure in the investment business to deliver good news.”
• “Trust me. Good news sells better. Stockbrokers thrive on it, investment houses thrive on it.”
• “To go out there in a bubble and talk about badly overpriced markets is an invitation to get fired.”
