I'm Chief Business Correspondent for U.S.News and a regular commentator on networks like MSNBC, CNN, Fox Business and NPR. Since I'm a journalist, not an investor, the positions I take are rhetorical, not financial. My job is to make the connections between the abstruse workings of the global economy and the things consumers care about. Oh - and point out the many myths and follies of our hyperbolic media. Busy times for that.
