Hallelujah! The Goldman Sachs Regency At The White House Is Finally Over
The financial commentariat and the robo-machines are all in a tizzy because Gary Cohn up and quit. But we say good riddance: The man gave Trump bad advice on nearly every single issue—trade, taxes, fiscal policy, and the Fed. We didn’t make any bones about that viewpoint during our appearance on Fox Business this AM. […]

An Improving 6.7% Yield
Chief Income Strategist Marc Lichtenfeld and Senior Managing Editor Rachel Gearhart are braving the snow in New York City today to promote Marc’s new book, You Don’t Have to Drive an Uber in Retirement. They got a super-early start (3:20 a.m. to be exact – yikes). Their first media engagement was at Fox Business. And weather permitting, they’ll […]
