The Bard once wrote, "All that glitters is not gold". The precious metal may glitter uniquely among assets, but how does one measure the value of gold? Can one measure the value of gold?

In my interview with the Managing Director, Government Affairs for the World Gold Council, key factors in assessing the precious metal are explored. Additionally, understanding the role of gold and central bank's reserves ("The Importance of Gold in Reserve Asset Management") is discussed*.

Too big to fail. Think it pertains only to the banking industry? Think again.

With the defense budget representing a very large chunk of the US federal pie, it behooves all investors to better understand this vital area of US government, not to mention the US economy. From his most recent book, "Prophets of War: Lockheed Martin and the Making of the Military-Industrial Complex", key aspects of President Eisenhower's final speech warning is fleshed out by the defense expert with the "New America Foundation". The consequences of actions - economic and geo political - go far beyond the industry itself and cannot be overstated.

To most investors, including many investment professionals, indexes are constructs designed to track a defined area of the economy, usually via financial assets. Yet, "indexing as an investment concept" is far more prevalent than most realize.

In my interview with the co-author of " The Fundamental Index" and Chairman, Founder of Research Affiliates, we explore such areas as efficient indexing, the market inefficiencies that result from cap weighted indexes, and RAFI, the Research Affiliates Fundamental Index approach to investing. For those interested in understanding an investing methodology that large institutional investors such as PIMCO utilize, this interview will open the door to a fascinating and largely under-appreciated segment of the financial markets.

In The Tempest the Bard wrote, "Hell is empty, and all the devils are here." He could have easily been describing the financial crisis, its causes, and its aftermath.

My interview with the coauthor of "All The Devils Are Here: The Hidden History of the Financial Crisis" takes us deep into the details of what went wrong and why. The depth of the investigative work is truly remarkable and, when understood in conjunction with my September 16th podcast interview with Simon Johnson, helps complete the picture of what happened, why it happened, and how to anticipate future such crisis.

My interview with the former CEO and Chairman of Russell Investments, current Chairman of the Russell 20-20 Association, and Chairman of Altaira Wealth Management, enabled me to tap into his decades of investment experience and insights to explore important economic and market issues including: a global macro economic overview, the recently adopted financial regulations, and the structure of today's financial markets with its prospective impact of producing a lost generation of investors.

Note; Due to recording factors, there is a slight volume variance between the interviewer (that would be me) and the interviewee (that's Michael) as well as an occasional warble in the interview. This does not take away from the quality of the content but can impair the quality of the listening experience. My apologies to Michael and to all listeners.
