About this title

Review:

Virtually everyone tuned into the stock market during the past few years is plugged into CNBC, and virtually everyone plugged into CNBC is familiar with Maria Bartiromo. Striking, articulate, and always at the center of the cable station's Wall Street action, Bartiromo has become a welcome source of fiscal authority through incisive but accessible daily TV appearances that stretch from the early morning Squawk Box to late afternoon's Market Wrap. Many viewers may think that her take on each day's events, and long-range perspective based upon them, are derived from years of academic study and exclusive inside tips. Not so, Bartiromo claims in Use the News. She says average investors can also separate the noise from the news and guide themselves to more profitable portfolios. In clear prose--like the direct language she employs on TV--Bartiromo shares the ideas and expertise of some of the Street's top executives, money managers, and analysts, explaining how the markets and financial-news machines really work and describing ways anyone can gather and assess useful data. "In this book, I'll expand on what I already do in my broadcasts: namely, level the playing field so that individual investors have the same information, understanding, and chances of success as the professionals," she writes. Fans, and even nonfans, should enjoy it. --Howard Rothman
