Staff members are right to worry about the paper “shaving off the edges” of some stories.Finance is not inherently conservative.

If the Wall Street Journal continues to be reactionary it will implode.

Health care innovations and procedures spread unevenly across geographic regions, seemingly because of physician preferences, research suggests.
"You
might think that once drugs, devices and medical procedures are shown

The Upshot
It’s Probably a Bad Idea to Sell Stocks Because You Fear Trump
Letting one’s political opinions shape investing decisions is a good way to lose money.Stocks are rallying on hope of a tax cut.

The tax cut will not improve the economy.
How long it will take the speculators to figure that out is still a guess.
I may easily be wrong.
