Posted by Larry Doyle on January 4th, 2010 9:47 AM |

For those who missed last evening’s No Quarter Radio’s Sense on Cents with Larry Doyle Hall of Fame and Shame Induction, I am compelled to provide a recap and listing of all those honored or dishonored — depending on one’s perspective.

How are some people able to see the forest for the trees? Why do certain  individuals look left when everybody else is going right? What drives people to embrace risk?

We can learn so much from studying the career paths, thoughts, and views of those who have achieved remarkable accomplishments. That said, where can we go and what can we study that addresses the common characteristics and highlights the common denominators of these individuals?

You have come to the right place as this Sunday evening (8-9pm ET) No Quarter Radio’s Sense on Cents with Larry Doyle Welcomes Rick Smith.

There is no doubt we are navigating a challenging, if not treacherous, economic landscape. As with any challenging trip, prudence dictates we utilize all resources at our disposal. That said, there is no resource more valuable than that of experience. Whether involved in the markets or other business pursuits, the ability to gain the wisdom of those who have gone before us is priceless.

In this spirit, I am a huge proponent of the merits and benefits of mentoring. What greater gift can one give than the sage advice garnered from one’s experience. There is no greater gift for a businessperson than to point the way forward for future generations.

As we continue to navigate our current economic landscape and the peaks and valleys along the way, I am honored to have Bill Venezia join me this Sunday evening (8-9pm ET) on No Quarter Radio’s Sense on Cents with Larry Doyle.

Who is Bill Venezia? One of Wall Street’s giants, Bill was without a doubt the top bond salesman on the street. As good a salesman as Bill was, and he was the best, he is a better human being.  Let’s learn more about Mr. Venezia:

Who would have projected the twists and turns we have experienced on our global economic landscape? Who would have forecasted the ups and downs in the markets? Who has the global perspective to project where our economies and markets are headed? While the future is always uncertain, experience is always the best teacher. Where can one turn to gain riveting insights and perspectives from some of the sharpest minds in the market today?

Welcome to No Quarter Radio’s Sense on Cents with Larry Doyle as I welcome Keith Fitz-Gerald to my show this Sunday evening November 8th at 8pm. So, who is Keith Fitz-Gerald? From Keith’s own website, we learn:

When Keith speaks, savvy investors listen. He is one of the few to correctly call the dot.bomb collapse in 2000, the cyclical recovery in 2003 and the credit crisis in 2007 – a full year in advance. He’s got one of the best documented (and most accurate) predictive records in the business. (more…)

Please join me this Sunday evening, October 11th, from 8-9pm for my weekly radio program Sense on Cents with Larry Doyle on No Quarter Radio. This show is an extension of my regular work at Sense on Cents where I attempt to provide insightful analysis and perspectives on the markets, economy, Wall Street, Washington, and global finance all in hopes of helping you more effectively ‘navigate the economic landscape.’

This week we will go “Inside the Black Box” with Rishi Narang, author of this insightful book which provides ‘the simple truth about quantitative trading.’ In addition to having recently released this fabulous  book, Rishi is the founding principal of Telesis Capital LLC, which invests in quantitative trading strategies. From 2002 to 2005, Rishi was a managing director and co-portfolio manager at Santa Barbara Alpha Strategies. Rishi was president and vice-chairman of Tradeworx, Inc., a quantitative hedge fund manager from 1999-2002. He has been involved in the hedge fund industry with a focus on quantitative trading strategies since 1996. He graduated from the University of California at Berkeley with a BA in economics.

We will not only bring you ‘inside the black box’ but we will make sure you get out of the box, as well. In going in and out of the black box, we will address how and why this business has grown by leaps and bounds on Wall Street. What are the secrets of successful quant trading? What are the pitfalls? What caused some of the disasters in quant trading? How have quants factored into the recent credit crisis? What is the future of this business?

Your host, as a former trader although certainly not a quant, looks forward to having a riveting discussion with Rishi Narang who has provided real transparency into this generally perceived dark corner of the market. Please join me this Sunday evening from 8-9pm EDT as we take this episode of No Quarter Radio’s Sense on Cents with Larry Doyle “Inside the Black Box.”

As a reminder, all of my Sunday evening shows are taped and archived here at Sense on Cents, along with podcasts on iTunes.

Thanks for your support.
