I've spent the last three decades trying to better understand money across the boardroom,
the newsroom, and the trading floor.
That's longer than most podcast hosts have been alive.
But even I've got questions.
Join me, Maren's Upset Web, every week for my show, Maren Talks Money, from Bloomberg Podcasts,
where I have in-depth conversations with fund managers,
strategists, and experts about how markets really work.
And join me for a separate episode where I answer listener questions on how to make those markets work for you.

So BP's profits have fallen after last year's drop in oil prices.
The company says it's responding by cutting costs,
suspending its share buybacks, and reining in spending to strengthen its finances.
But shareholders are split.
Some say BP went too far into green energy.
Others say it's focused too much on oil, just as prices fell.
Earlier, I spoke to Nick Mazan,
who leads oil and gas strategy at ACC or a shareholder advocacy and research organization.
I think it's fair to look back at some of BP's investments into renewables and say those haven't been good investments for BP and its shareholders.
