Senol TaskinWelcomes Criticism
Senol Taskin says that harsh criticism is
something he is okay with as a financial
journalist. While some journalists may not take
the necessary time to investigate their issues
they are writing about, Senol does his best to do
his due diligence and strives to maintain a
strict code of ethics. He was most critical of
the time he watched television personalities
support stocks that seemed speculative. He could
tell they clearly didnt do the proper
investigations on these stocks and they
ultimately lost all value.
