You know what I found kinda interesting — in the first 5 minute clip (which is on their site), you can see that they try to explain what ADRs are (because people may not know what that is). However, then 2 minutes later Jenna (I think) says something like “Dow Futures are up 8 points, and fair value is down”. Why didn’t they take the time to explain what fair value is?
I think a big issue here is that Fox is assuming that we’re the “Main Street” crowd who doesn’t know much — how will they pick out what to describe and not to describe. And does that also mean that they’ll be explaining ADR everytime it comes up in a story? If they do, people will obviously tire of it. If they don’t, then people who didn’t catch it the first time will miss out on it. Wonder how this will be taken care of…
