Lawrence G. McDonald

In a most thought provoking interview with the Managing Director of Pangea Capital Management and author of "A Colossal Failure of Common Sense: The Inside Story of the Collapse of Lehman Brothers", we began by discussing the recently issued report on Lehman Bros. and Repo 105. We then moved on to key elements in his book including several truly inside experiences such as the brass knuckles tactics of senior management and how "they silenced their best talent when they needed them most". We also discussed Larry's views on how big banks today are "too big to succeed" and the risk exposure to the US economy (62% of GDP) that the top 6 banks represent.

The length of the interview is 18 minutes 22 seconds.

Dr. George Friedman

In my interview with the founder and CEO of STRATFOR and author of "The Next 100 Years: A Forecast for the 21st Century" we explore the provocative views that are a hallmark of Dr. Friedman's work. Challenging the status quo of conventional thinking, this interview will stretch your intellectual horizons as Dr. Friedman describes the consequences of the coming global population bust, the disruptive role technology will play, the geopolitical fault lines that lie ahead, the philosophy that is American pragmatism and its conflict with European metaphysics, and the current rift between the US and Israel.

The length of the interview is 14 minutes 49 seconds.

Lord Robert Skidelsky

My interview with Lord Robert Skidelky, author "Keynes: The Return of the Master", begins the rare and valuable perspective on a vital issue that few investors take the time to stop and consider: what economic philosophy will emerge as the dominant approach to managing capitalistic economies?

In light of the shattering of what has been known as American-style capitalism (what some have labeled "cowboy capitalism"), having a clear understanding of which economic philosophy will dominate in the years ahead is essential to all investors. (This point will become more clear re China and "state capitalism" when my interview with Dr. Ian Bremmer is posted in early May.)

For those investors interested in truly going beyond the sound bite of economic matters, the 15 minutes 32 seconds spent listening to this interview will be time very well spent.

Bernstein, Mr. Parker describes how the second half of the year is likely to result in a modestly below consensus view for 2010 operating earnings for the S&P 500, why a 13 to 15 P/E is more appropriate for the current market climate, some of the issues involved with the Fed's exit strategy and the economic handoff from government stimulus to sustainable private sector growth, and the prospects for a strong capex spending cycle and technology.

Can meaningful regulatory reform occur in this highly political year? Is the Obama administration on the right side of the credit derivatives argument? What is the future of financial innovation?
