>, the story boils down to To clarify further, only one sub-story (the "corporate cops" that's in the title) can be summarized to that. The article's title is misleading as the full text is really a mismash brain dump of 7 subtopics that doesn't seem to have a unifying theme. (Note the subtitle is "Also data science, Hovnanian, demo platforms, Jack Dorsey and bond liquidity.") The 7 boldfaced sections: The corporate police. Data. Everybody won in the Hovnanian trade. Oops. CEO skill. People are worried about bond market liquidity. Things happen. (The other 6 topics are unrelated to "corporate cops".)

It's an opinion column. Such things frequently cover multiple topics under different subheadings. It's not a "mishmash brain dump", it's just regular journalism, as has been practiced for decades.

  > it's just regular journalism, I did not intend "brain dump" to be a negative criticism but to explain further what the _full_ text article is about. It's a mishmash of various unrelated topics and I was hoping my clarification would encourage readers to look at the rest of the article. >Such things frequently cover multiple topics under different subheadings. Yes, this is why I took the trouble to paste all 7 subtopics/subtitles -- so readers can quickly see that. The article's prominent title is only 1/7th of the whole story and the gp's summary is incomplete and may unintentionally steer potential readers away from the other 6/7ths of the text. (E.g. the section about Jack Dorsey doubling the stock price and the section about "data science" being the new knowledge baseline -- has nothing to do with the section about corporate police enforcing laws against Chinese shell companies.)

    Bloomberg went to a 3/month paywall a few months ago. I used to read this column all the time. I should subscribe just as a thank you for writing it.
