I’m usually astonished w how seldom investors and supervisors read the fine print in annual reports.
If that would be true, you should be able to make good money by reading the fine print of annual reports, buying some options, and then publishing the information.
Because I work for a regulator and am not allowed to do that?
Also, many investors won’t have enough incentives to read beyond what other investors are reading… except if, as you mentioned, u work w shortselling
And shortsellers did make money in this case. So in this sense, the system works… but when it happens to a bank, that’s not so cool
Why don’t they have incentives? Isn’t reading beyond what other investors are reading exactly the way to make profits if you don’t just put your money into a diversified index fund?

Why aren’t we seeing that in your view?
