Yahoo Finance Presents

Some episodes were a solid four stars with good ideas and information. Rick Newman seems to at least prepare a little bit before recording. "China verses the world" about the smart phone companies may be the very worst podcast I have ever heard. Dan Howley probably not prepare at all. I had it on while out running and I listened to the entire thing and the female guest knew a few things and spoke in complete sentences but Dan sounded like he was filling time and had nothing prepared to talk about. Like he didn't even research the topic, he just spoke off the top of his head and it was AWFUL. It's a shame because some of the other episodes are solid. The Trump Regretters episode is good.

Andy Serwer interviews like he’s a retail investor. It’s embarrassing. Asking John Stankey how he will turnaround direct tv. Nothing can turn that around! Or does he think Trump tried to stop the AT&T time Warner merger? You think a COO is going to talk rumors and gossip?

If the hosts can’t spend a few minutes researching the topics discussed, don’t waste yours listening to the garbage they put out.

The audio quality on this podcast is amazing. Except cut the coughing out and the dead air out of the "new high-tech hotel" episode. I like the brief stories to get a story about someone I wouldn't have known about.
