How  could Scott report fake news...?
He spends his whole day on Twitter....:)
You have raised a good point though ....the Globe could run a few articles...(tutorials ?? !!) on options trading and the futures market...and commodity trading even...(!!)
As in how much this market  really tells us....is Scott just hyping it or is it meaningful...etc
I find many stories about frantic futures trading in China (iron etc) pretty confusing....but it usually means something is cooking...............or over cooked.
Ditto the RoB short interest column...
It should give the values as " of float"....and then discuss them.
The Globe could then even expand and do a tutorial on Roulette and 3 card Monte.
I am sure they will....any day now :):)
