Weekly Update – March 26, 2010
March 28, 2010And now a quick word from our sponsors.
OK, we have no sponsors. Nor do we seek them. Nor will we accept them. But consider the following a commercial.
I am often asked what I believe is the best source of market, economy, or investment related information available to the public. My response, as always, is that there isn’t one. There are far too many information sources, in far too many forms and media formats, to select a single source as being the best repository of beneficial investment related knowledge.
Having said that, I am now going to make a recommendation. I have found one source of market information to be consistently excellent. Not simply for investment ideas or investable themes. I don’t look for those in the media (nor should the investing public in my opinion). The source of info that I am about to name typically profiles a leading investor or market strategist each week, providing a full and wide-ranging discussion that is as topical and timely as any single source that I have yet found.
Drumroll please.
Consuelo Mack| WealthTrack is a weekly TV show produced by Public Television. It appears in my area of greater New York City on Saturday mornings. Check your local listings below:

I wholeheartedly recommend that all investors take the time to watch this show. The roster of recent guests interviewed by Consuelo Mack, a highly savvy journalist with decades of experience covering the financial beat, have included: Bill Gross, Steve Romick, Bruce Berkowitz, Niall Ferguson, and Jim Grant (my single favorite episode). All of these individuals are A-players in their respective fields. For those seeking a balanced and measured view of what the economy/markets may look like in the months/years ahead as we recover from the market meltdown of 2008/2009 (with just a little Fed bashing thrown in for good measure), please watch the episode featuring James Grant that was broadcast earlier this year (link included below: )

I have come away from each WealthTrack show with a fuller understanding and/or a deeper perspective on many issues facing the economy/markets.
I recommend this show without reservation. Some episodes are better than others, certainly, but on balance I consider it time very well spent.
For purposes of full disclosure, we at HWCP receive no compensation from anybody directly or indirectly related to WealthTrack.
The commercial is now over.
Stay tuned.
