#13Worth pointing out that this is largely a US only problem. Rest of the world uses IFRS which clamped down on that non-GAAP adjustment stuff pretty hard because well it’s not exactly a subtle gambit

On firefox you can just switch to reader mode and reload the page.
If Firefox does not offer reader mode by itself, prepend about:reader?url= to the url to force loading the page in reader mode by the way.

Thanks for the tip. I'm curious, do you know how some sites prevent the reader mode button from appearing?

#16What a horrible article most investors understand Chinese companies lie about their number all the time. The non Chinese example is WeWork which was completely rejected by the market and failed to go public?
And Enron, Olympus, bt, WorldCom, Tesco, those people who bought dragon dictate and the African firm whose balance sheet was entirely supported by a large green gemstone. Just to name a few off the top of my head. Trying to work out a firm's true assets, liabilities and income is a genuine problem.
By referring to large green gemstone, do you refer to The Hot Rock novel main plot goal? If so, it is unbelievably appropriate.

From what I would guess, it might be rather that these pages do not conform to what Firefox expects from a page to be suitable to be shown in reader mode. Large pieces of text with a few pictures in them or something like that. If you check back in a few hours, I might have posted more information on this.

Is there any way to turn this into a bookmarklet, so that clicking on it would prefix the current URL with that?

Yes, the S&P500, that very Chinese index...
