MarketWatch: Don’t Fall Victim to QE Trap

Posted by Larry Doyle on January 13th, 2014 9:08 AM |

I have a commentary running today on MarketWatch that addresses some perils and potential pitfalls stemming from the tapering of the Fed’s quantitative easing.

4 Ways The Fed Taper Puts Your Money at Risk: Don’t Fall Victim to The Fed’s QE Trap

“I don’t know what they are, but I know where they are!”

I had to chuckle when a fellow trader with whom I worked uttered that remark about the markets in which he trafficked. In so many words, he was admitting that he focused almost entirely on daily flows and technical developments within his market sector, while paying little attention to the underlying fundamentals of the securities themselves.

Ignoring fundamentals is dangerous.  Read the rest »


Interview on Lou Dobbs Tonight on Fox Business

Posted by Larry Doyle on January 11th, 2014 5:06 AM |

There is never any bad press. Although my interview on Lou Dobbs Tonight last evening may have only run for 3 plus minutes, the points covered go to the core of my recently released book.

I was about to connect and expose the third leg of the Wall Street-Washington conspiracy, that being the scandalous corruption within our regulatory system, when host Lori Rothman inquired about Dodd-Frank.

What didn’t we talk about last evening but is covered in the book? Read the rest »

Navigate accordingly.

JP Morgan – Madoff : Lots of ‘CYA’ But Little ‘KYC’

Posted by Larry Doyle on January 8th, 2014 7:46 AM |

Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive.

All too often we have heard senior level individuals from an array of financial institutions and regulatory agencies say that they too were deceived by the master swindler Bernie Madoff.

That sort of lame excuse might work for a naive young teenager duped by an online scam artist trying to make a quick buck. It certainly does not and should not hold any water for senior level bankers running an institution like JP Morgan. Why is that? Read the rest »

Book Reviews for In Bed with Wall Street

Posted by Larry Doyle on January 5th, 2014 11:53 AM |

I thank everybody who has already purchased In Bed with Wall Street that will be released this Tuesday. I also thank those in the media and blogosphere who have reviewed it. What have reviewers had to say?

—The new book by Larry Doyle could be called a “must read”.  This reviewer would go even farther and say it should be required reading for every single American.

—I am extremely impressed with the depth of research that went into this book.  Larry Doyle is uniquely qualified and prepared to write this book. And the result is a masterpiece!

–-This book will clarify many things for which you may have had an incomplete picture.  It will give another example of the old saw:  You couldn’t make stuff like this up.  Read the rest »


FINRA Should Crack Down on Management

Posted by Larry Doyle on January 3rd, 2014 7:53 AM |

The lead article in this morning’s Wall Street Journal is entitled FINRA To Crack Down on Brokers with High Numbers of Complaints. This should be a good thing, right? Yes, it should.

The question still begs, though, why FINRA has been so amenable to expunging such an overwhelming percentage of complaints against brokers. Recall that just a few weeks back, I highlighted the fact that FINRA had expunged 96.9% of complaints lodged against brokers from mid-2009 through the end of 2011.

How might individuals know if a broker soliciting them is unscrupulous if a large number of complaints have been erased? Talk about a massive pardoning and significant do-over! But what is an even bigger problem in the industry than brokers with questionable business ethics?

Review: The Wolf of Wall Street

Posted by Larry Doyle on January 2nd, 2014 9:08 AM |

Martin Scorsese certainly knows how to make movies and Leonardo DiCaprio sure can act. The talents of both the director and the lead actor in The Wolf of Wall Street will attract many people to the theaters, and may win Scorsese and DiCaprio some awards.

The debauchery displayed by DiCaprio’s character Jordan Belfort and his band of morally degenerate colleagues at the bucket shop Stratton Oakmont generated a fair bit of laughter in the audience at yesterday’s show that I attended. The activities displayed may be the stuff of a frat-boy’s dreams but were in truth far more deranged than they were humorous.

Stratton Oakmont’s boiler room operation is not a reflection of the pursuit of the American dream run awry but rather of an industry that operates under a less than rigorous self-regulatory model. Read the rest »


Thank You Readers and Happy New Year 2014

Posted by Larry Doyle on January 1st, 2014 6:38 AM |

Having just completed my 5th year of writing Sense on Cents, I owe an enormous debt of gratitude to all those who come here and join me in navigating the economic landscape.

I never could have possibly scripted what a fabulous ride it has been over these last years. The people whom I have met, the relationships I have developed, the knowledge I have gleaned and shared are all truly priceless. I would not trade any of these experiences for anything. So I thank you the readers for making this all real. In doing so, I wish you, your families, your businesses, and your pursuits all the best for a great 2014.

I am especially excited for all that this new year might hold. As I embark on 2014 and my book, In Bed with Wall Street, is set to be released next Tuesday the 7th, I take the efforts that have been concentrated here at Sense on Cents to an entirely new realm. I hope you will not only join me in my fight to bring meaningful transparency to a system that badly needs it but will share word of my fight detailed in the pages of the book with your friends, families, and colleagues.

I will keep readers apprised of my schedule regarding book events (signings, interviews, speaking etc) via postings here at the blog. Additionally, if you have relationships with media representatives (print, radio, TV) whom you might think would be interested in my work and the book, please do not hesitate to reach out to me or connect them to me via my email, senseoncents@aol.com.

I hope that I might have the opportunity to meet — and thank — many of you personally in the weeks and months ahead. Until then and as always . . . navigate accordingly.

Christmas 1919 – Christmas 2013

Posted by Larry Doyle on December 24th, 2013 5:04 PM |

This story has become my traditional post to embrace the true spirit of faith, hope, and love. This tale of real heroism and sacrifice ran in The Wall Street Journal in 2008. I think if you read it you will understand why I like it so much.

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanza, or however you celebrate, Happy Holidays!!

A Christmas Tale — 1919, The Wall Street Journal, December 2008

By HANS VON SPAKOVSKY

It’s easy to complain in the midst of a stressful holiday season. But my family has a unique remedy: We remember one special Christmas in 1919 that gave us the freedom and liberty we enjoy today. This will be the 89th anniversary of the year my father celebrated Christmas Eve deep in the snow-laden woods of Russia as he fled the Communist takeover of his homeland.  Read the rest »
