This week on WealthTrack, Consuelo Mack sits down for a rare one-on-one interview with contrarian market observer and historian James Grant, publisher of the influential newsletter, Grant’s Interest Rate Observer. They discuss why the economic recovery could be much stronger than anticipated, and the ballooning federal deficit much more damaging. He also shares his views on the Fed, the US dollar, gold, China and some of his personal investing habits.
Grant is erudite, articulate, funny and opinionated - just the right ingredients for an interview not to be missed.
Note: The transcript of this interview is not available yet, but will be posted here as soon as it arrives.
