Why is the SEC Letting Companies Get Away with This?

  • サマリー

  • Wall Street incentives are all jacked up, and after 25 years of experience poring through countless financial statements, David Trainer has an easy and automated solution for improving the transparency of the capital markets. The problem with financial statements today are that the details are in the footnotes, and these details are not captured in earnings reports or price earnings ratios. Investors who don’t read the footnotes and aren’t always getting the complete picture of a company's story, and corporate America is incentivized to continue to obfuscate it. The fact of the matter is that too little attention is being paid to whether companies are creating or destroying value with their growth and it’s leading to too many investors losing money by speculating on bad businesses. If more investors took the time to fully understand and analyze ROIC and economic earnings, they would be better able to allocate capital towards businesses that actually have the best long-term prospects. If things change with the new administration and the speculative excesses of the last few years start to dissipate, then we could see a reset in the capital markets-- with the return of undervalued and profitable businesses generating better returns than speculative growth ones. This episode is jampacked with many of David Trainer's personal stories and insights, including why he founded New Constructs and the purpose behind it, which is to Improve the Integrity of the Capital Markets. It’s a mission that’s sorely needed and that we fully stand behind.

Wall Street incentives are all jacked up, and after 25 years of experience poring through countless financial statements, David Trainer has an easy and automated solution for improving the transparency of the capital markets.

Investors who don’t read the footnotes and aren’t always getting the complete picture of a company's story, and corporate America is incentivized to continue to obfuscate it.
