I’ve never understood why TV and radio news bulletins include reports on individual share price movements with little context.

If you are interested in what is happening to a share, you’ll want more than an occasional snapshot telling you “XYZ was up two cents at lunchtime”. You’ll probably have a ticker on your phone or computer.

And if you are not, then you’re more likely to mentally switch off and miss the next news item.
