August 9 foxbusiness.com Appearance

Robert Steven Kaplan

It isn't everyday that we get to hear the former vice chairman of the Goldman Sachs Group share his thoughts and insights into the current economic and market environment.

Currently, Rob is professor of management practice at Harvard Business School and co-chairman of Draper Richard kaplan, a global venture philanthropy firm. Rob is also the author of the just published "What To Ask The Person In The Mirror": Critical Questions for Becoming a More Effective Leader and Reaching Your Potential.

In addition to discussing key aspects of his book, my podcast interview with Rob produced several very insightful thoughts on these most turbulent times, including the "series of sagas" investors are coping with, the implication of the changing structure of the market (e.g. capital impact on commercial banks during market swings, initiators and accelerators, pro-cyclicality), and President Obama and the question of vision and leadership.

The length of the interview is 21 minutes 18 seconds.

My good friend, and former Chief Investment Strategist with Forbes, Vaham Janjigian, made his initial appearance on foxbusiness.com with Tracy Byrnes. Hearing Vahan's opinions and insights are always well worth the time.

In The Media

In this interview, I bring back a point I made on a number of occasions in the past - the conflicted position of the US worker, who also happens to be the US consumer. In a globalized world, one wins (consumer) while the other loses (worker).

The Mr. Miyagi Market

Yesterday, my latest appearance on foxbusiness.com with Tracy Byrnes afforded me the opportunity to describe the Mr. Miyagi market (wax on, wax off).

Note: The above interview was ended at roughly the halfway pooint by foxbusiness.com editors for (I assume) their media posting purposes.

Say What?

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to be a guest on Bloomberg radio's "Taking Stock" program and NDTV (New Delhi Television) Profit's program discussing the current market and economic environment. A key focus explored was one of the two major themes of my recently concluded Market Forecast series (10 events, 10 cities, 34 expert panelists, 920 attendees, in 6 weeks): once the the US economy is taken off stimulus steroids, will it achieve a private sector led sustainable expansion (what economists lovingly refer to as "escape velocity")? The answer will almost certainly disappoint you.
