Talking Head Alert: Bloomberg Radio today

Today's appearance on "Taking Stock with Pimm Fox and Carol Massar" (4:15 to 4:45 PM eastern) will provide the opportunity to share with listeners what Pimm and I heard at the New York Society of Security Analysts' "Market Forecast" luncheon of August 8th. The event covered a wide range of important topics - economic, financial markets (both equity and fixed income), and currencies - with six excellent experts: Marc Chandler, Don Rissmiller, Alec Young, Tom McManus, Thomas Lee, and Jonathan Mackay.

In today's radio segment two central areas will be explored: What were the points of view expressed? Based on their questions to the panelists, what were the attendees areas of interest?

Discussing the first area is obvious - what did the six experts say and why? The second area, what was on the minds of attendees, is less obvious but no less important as it reveals the mindset of investors (primarily professional investors). While anecdotal on its own, it is insightful when compared with similar such events conducted throughout the US this year.

Having produced and conducted such events since 1998, I can assure you that everyone involved - panelists and attendees - has found the time well spent.

Note: I will also give my take on market related matters, including why Obama will pick Summers as the next Fed chair plus what alpha males, short term market momentum players, and overconfidence have to do with each other.

If spending your time in a productive manner is high on your list, consider tuning in today at 4:15 PM (eastern) via radio, app, or here.
