Don't Buy The Bull
Welcome to "Don't Buy the Bull", a podcast dedicated to unmasking the truth about, well, anything and everything!
I'm your host, Cassandra Toroian, (call me Cass). I am a 25-year veteran of the investment business, both as an ex-investment manager and Wall Street Journal all-star analyst. I've started and sold companies, and written a book called "Don't Buy the Bull" back in 2010. Now I've gone all in on technology and democratizing information for the consumer.
I'm passionate about sharing my knowledge and experiences to give a glimpse into how things like Wall Street, federal government, and start-up businesses really work. Hopefully some of what we talk about you find interesting enough to come back again and again!
What you'll get here is a combination of big-picture market stuff, the economy, sports, technology. Because yes, in my world they really do all intersect.
So if you want to learn how to make the secret sauce yourself, stand by....and let's go.

QUOTES
- "For myself personally, it doesn't mean your list would be the same, but I have something in my mind I call the no-touch list. And that's where I say to myself, that company, I'm not touching it. Because why would I want to invest in a company that I think has flawed management? And until proven differently, they're staying on my no-touch list."
- "I just don't feel comfortable investing in companies that I think may have contributed to people dying intentionally, you know, intentionally contributing to people dying."
- "They've got all kinds of data that they can sell to third parties that would be interested in where you spend your time in order to market to you as the consumer-driven economy we are. So we have right now no real control over our own data. And yet hundreds of billions upon billions of dollars every year are being made by these corporations using that data that they consider they got for free. Well, it's not really their data. It's our data. It's your life. It's my life."
