BlackRock’s (NYSE: BLK) CEO, Larry Fink, is making waves for his bold prediction to stop the madness of quarterly earnings calls. These calls drive companies to cook their books, grow when they shouldn’t be growing, and work their employees to the bone. It might seem a little counter intuitive that a guy who manages 4.6 trillion dollars wants less information on companies. But, maybe it’s a sign that some people are finally starting to realize that less is more. If we cultivate a more sane financial culture, maybe more companies will last longer and the overall health of the economy will grow. I certainly think that’s the case. Will there be a few people who take the opportunity to do some shady stuff when they don’t have to release their earnings reports frequently? Certainly. But that’s like saying we should have DUI checkpoints at every single highway on-ramp because that would deter drunk driving. Yes, it would. But it would also impede everyone’s ability to go about their business in an efficient manner, and most people aren’t driving drunk. I agree with Fink, and I think that having someone like that at the helm of a company makes Black Rock an intriguing play. I look to invest in companies with dynamic leaders, and this one fits the bill. My non traditional tactics lead me to recommend holding Black Rock as part of a long term portfolio.
