FINANCIAL THOUGHT LEADER JAMES  GRANT SHARES FOUR DECADES OF INVESTMENT WISDOM AND INSIGHTS

Part 2 of 2

James Grant, Founder and Editor of Grant’s Interest Rate Observer, joins us to discuss the history of bond market cycles and why the dramatic rise in interest rates that began in March of last year might have ushered in a prolonged bear market in bonds.

Grant shares his insights on a wide range of financial topics, including the deleterious effects of the Fed’s decade-long suppression of interest rates, the losses racking up at Federal Reserve Banks, and the prolonged underperformance of value versus growth stocks.  He also offers warnings about speculation in currently popular investments, including equity options that expire in 24-hours and private credit.

After 40 years of talking to top professional money managers, Grant reveals the one trait successful long-term investors have in common, providing valuable insights for navigating the ever-changing financial landscape.
