HSBC's emerging markets strategy has not gone without criticism, notably from loudmouth shareholder Eric Knight of Knight Vinke Asset Management in New York.
Fox News entertainer Sean Hannity has been pouncing on it no surprise there. (Do I really have to tune in to that unpleasant loudmouth if I want to be sure not to miss such newsworthy information?) UPI gave it some pickup, but that news service is only a shadow of its former great self.
