This week on WealthTrack, Consuelo Mack calls into question the long-dominant efficient market theory and explores what models should be used by investors to navigate the markets. She discusses this with two top fund managers, Jerry Senser, a former Morningstar Fund Manager of the Year and the lead portfolio manager for all of ICAP, including their MainStay ICAP Funds, and noted contrarian Robert Kleinschmidt, who manages the top-rated Tocqueville Fund. Also joining the conversation is Justin Fox, Time magazine’s economics columnist and author of “The Myth of the Rational Market”. As always with WealthTrack this is excellent viewing material.
Note: The transcript of this interview is not available yet, but will be posted here as soon as it arrives.
