February 2012 has been a good month for stock. Yet Bruce takes on naysayers like David Stockman, Lakshman Achuthan (Chief Operations Officer of the Economic Cycle Research Institute), and Harry S Dent, who say that there is a disconnect between the actual economy and the direction of the S&P 500. Will Baby Boomers see another economic crisis?

Get the whole story without the commercials. Is the stock market climbing because things are getting fixed, or do we have Wall Street living on "crack cocaine" being pushed on it by the Federal Reserve? In the Extended Podcast version, Bruce gets to slow down and give you the much bigger picture with all the facts. Hear interview clips with Gretchen Morgensen, David Stockman, Lakshman Ac...

5 July the WSJ reports two seemingly diametrically opposite stories - the Recovery is dismal, and Wall Street investors seem to be loving it. In this show find out how the stock market can be so UP, while the US economy is do DOWN.

WSJ reports that seniors' nest eggs across the country are being shattered by low interest rates the Fed Reserve has put in place since the financial crisis. They talk about the crisis on .24% (the 24/100ths!) at the bank but they totally fail to mention the 7-8% guarantees in the pension markets. These folks are confusing short-term vehicles with long-term purposes and that's why they a...
