I’m not sure when it happened, but at some point in the recent past, everyone became a “strategist.”

I get up early in the morning to begin assembling News Items. I have two computer screens on my desk. One screen enables me to speed-read my way through 50-60 news sites and various overnight “news briefs.” The other screen is a live feed from Bloomberg TV.

Everybody on Bloomberg TV (meaning: the guests) is a “strategist.” They might be a “wealth management strategist,” or a “Euro markets equities strategist,” or an “emerging markets credit strategist,” they might be any number of things, but they are all “strategists.”
