Typo and Nobody To Whine To

 


The article, https://www.marketwatch.com/story/its-been-years-since-investors-have-been-this-fearful-of-a-stock-market-crash-nobel-prize-winning-economist-warns-11603685224, discussed a NY Times Op-Ed by Nobel Laureate Robert Shiller's observation that his Crash Confidence Index was flashing warning signs.,  In addition, the Cyclically Adjusted Price Earnings (CAPE) ratio was in territory not seen except the lead-up to the Great Depression and just before dot-com bubble burst.

In my own version of flagellation, I checked finanace.yahoo.com, then assumed the fetal position and turned the electric blanket up to 9.   (The last phrase was stolen from a Limelighter's recording.)

Ever the pedantic, the sentence "Shiller also pointed to the Cyclically Adjusted Price Earnings (CAPE) ratio, a measure he helped created." jumped out at me.  While I'm not confident enough in my English grammar to explain why this is not correct, I know enough to know that it is not correct.

A brief attempt to contact the author through the Marketwatch webs site was frustrating because it required filling in text boxes which didn't exist on the form.  I took a chance on searching for the author by name.  Even though I misspelled his name, Rocket Reach (rocketreach.co) found some probably email address sites, but without the name part.  Sigh.
