The Weekly Rant with Larry Tabb: Economic Data Distribution, and Fading Stars

In an effort to more broadly share key economic data, the Trump administration is looking to overhaul how the government distributes economic reports, eliminating the early release to major news organizations. While this may open the news to more entities, analysis will suffer, says TABB Group founder and research chairman Larry Tabb. In this week’s video editorial, Tabb discusses the ramifications of the White House’s plan, as well as the end of the “star trader” bonus culture on Wall Street. With the rise of algorithms, he notes, there’s less need to reward top traders; but without a strong monetary incentive, will the best and brightest still come to Wall Street?
