In this episode on Palisades Gold Radio, Tom Bodrovics welcomes back Jaime Carrasco. Jaime is Senior Portfolio Manager & Senior Investment Advisor at Harbourfront Wealth Management. Jaime discusses the current economic landscape and the implications for investors. Carrasco emphasizes the importance of understanding the paradigm shift in the monetary system, particularly the role of gold and silver as sound money. Carrasco highlights that the global economy is facing a debt bubble, where each additional dollar of debt fails to stimulate growth, leading instead to social instability. He argues that this situation is similar to what Latin America experienced, with the US now reaching a critical point. Carrasco believes that the current fiat system is imploding, and gold will play a central role in the upcoming reset of the monetary system. He discusses the rise of gold prices across major currencies, noting that this reflects the decline in purchasing power of fiat currencies rather than an increase in gold's intrinsic value. Carrasco warns against complacency among financial advisors who fail to recognize these systemic changes and advises investors to allocate a significant portion of their portfolios to precious metals, particularly through well-managed mining companies. Carrasco also delves into the role of silver, emphasizing its structural deficit in production relative to demand, especially given the shift toward green energy. He suggests that silver's price will rise significantly as the global economy transitions, offering investors substantial opportunities. The interview touches on geopolitical dynamics, including China's strategic accumulation of gold and its influence on the global monetary system. Carrasco warns against trusting central banks and advocates for individual investors to establish their own "gold standards" to protect wealth. Finally, Carrasco advises investors to focus on stockpicking within the precious metals sector, emphasizing high-quality producers with strong management and leverage to rising metal prices. He encourages a long-term perspective, positioning oneself to benefit from the coming paradigm shift rather than trying to predict short-term price movements.

In this episode on Palisades Gold Radio, Tom Bodrovics welcomes back Jaime Carrasco. Jaime is Senior Portfolio Manager & Senior Investment Advisor at Harbourfront Wealth Management. They discuss the global economic landscape and the significance of gold in today's context. Carrasco expresses his belief that Trump's election and proposed policies could lead to a reset of debt and potential devaluation of US dollars held in treasuries around the world. He emphasizes the importance of understanding history, as previous periods saw significant increases in dividends from gold mining companies during times of monetary instability. Carrasco encourages investors to consider gold as a hedge against inflation, purchasing power loss, and political instability. He also recommends silver mining companies due to their current undervaluation compared to gold. Central banks are increasingly buying gold as a safe haven asset, and Trump's actions are aimed at rebuilding America for Americans, possibly necessitating a full reset. The location of US gold reserves and geopolitical issues like China's policy in Latin America, Europe's response to immigration, and the US-China-Russia alignment are significant sociological factors affecting the global economy. Despite the current uncertainty, Carrasco advocates for a decentralized world where nations can thrive and encourages investors to consider gold, silver, and Bitcoin as financial lifeboats.

Recent banking collapses and rescue deals have re-ignited US recession risks.  As a result, the US Federal Reserve may need to keep policy rates stable for longer than expected, leaving equity markets susceptible to high volatility. So has this opened the door to opportunities in fixed income markets? On Money in the Market, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Carol Lye, Associate Portfolio Manager & Senior Research Analyst at Brandywine Global Investment Management to find out more. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It is officially the golden age of TV: no matter how and what you want to watch, there is a platform for you to find it. Nick Grous, Associate Portfolio Manager at ARK, is here to comment on the ongoing wars between Netflix, Disney +, Hulu, Amazon Prime, and other streaming platforms. It seems it is back to the basics for many of these platforms: a change in their digital approaches highlights adaptations in the advertising world. Nick looks at Netflix, the poster child subscription-based platform, and its struggle with users sharing passwords, and, how advertising may be used to mitigate losses. Nick explores the impacts of the pandemic, how the streaming platforms individually deal with competition, global advertising opportunities, advertising proficiencies, and so much more! Plus, you will hear why Nick thinks that Connected TV (CTV) could be the way of the future! “In terms of competition, Netflix doesn't just compete against HBO Max or YouTube, they compete against all leisure activity.” — @GrousARK Key Points From This Episode: The subscription-based format of Netflix. When the “streaming wars” began. How Netflix managed continuous growth, despite speculation and doubts. How streaming platforms are managing the ‘COVID hangover'. Ad-supported video-on-demand (AVOD) versus subscription video-on-demand (SVOD). Why Nick thinks Netflix will start AVOD. How consumers approach and react to the advertising in their streaming services. Advertiser's approach to changes in the market. The over-the-top (OTT) and Connected TV (CTV) advertising landscape. Nick discusses Roku TV: a streaming media player. Short-term turbulence versus long-term struggles in the streaming sphere. The impact of the 2008 and 2009 recessions on advertising platforms. Why cable and broadcasting are being left in the past. Nick's five-year predictions. Nick's show recommendations and his opinions on streaming pricing.

Tom welcomes Jaime Carrasco of Canaccord Genuity back to the show. Jaime says, "I've been preparing for this storm for a long time, and it's here. I don't think we can hide from the global volatility." In 2008, they bailed out the banks, but now the question is who will bail out the governments. The spread between the pound and the dollar is too wide, and the monetary systems of today are too interconnected. The U.S. is just the best-looking fiat currency. Gold is currently flying against nearly every currency except the dollar. We've seen rates change rapidly in just a month. Mortgages are reaching upwards of seven percent. The debt bubble is colossal, and how do we get out from under it. People are failing to recognize the geopolitical shift that is occurring around us. Countries have debt held in U.S. dollars, and now their interest payments are increasing, and the dollar is becoming more expensive. Stock markets have grown by a hundred trillion since 2008. This came with growth in debt of two hundred trillions. The only way forward in this environment is with a reset. The rising dollar is hiding the inflation in the United States and when that reverses, inflation will show its true face. The one asset that has benefitted people the best in periods like we are heading through now is the one asset that is least owned by western investors; gold. Taxes are only going to increase until those in charge wake up. It's going to be the hard times that generate the awareness to fix the system. We will see benefits once we get through this crisis. Values of society will increase and reliance on family structures. The system will eventually correct. At some point, wiser minds should prevail. There is political risk coming to the United States at the midterm elections. We could see the Republican's sweep much of the political positions. There are trillions in dollars, but only billions available in gold. The world's financial pyramid is balancing on that tiny amount of gold.

Tom welcomes Jaime Carrasco of Canaccord Genuity back to the show. Jaime expected inflation as the marginal usefulness of excessive debt has declined. There is plenty of evidence from our debt-based system that a currency reset is coming. Governments taking on the debts of banks was evidence that some sort of currency reset is in the cards. Global trade patterns are rapidly shifting, and gold is part of that equation. It's clear that taxpayers are placed on the hook for the actions and debts of government. Politics and central bankers are all interconnected. The rest of the world is beginning to understand why they need out of this system. The long-term picture for commodities shows just how muted gold has become lately. We see that nearly everything has gone up in price. Gold should currently be sitting around three thousand based on inflation. We don't have the supply of commodities in the West to maintain low prices. Central banks remain buyers of gold while telling the public it's a pet rock. The rest of the world has realized that Russia as a large energy provider is capable of backing its currency with oil. This will allow China, India and Russia to trade outside the dollar system. Much of the world, including Latin America, is lining up behind the China and India. Today, the bulk of copper produced in Chile is exported to China. Chile will likely switch soon to alternatives to the dollar. We're witnessing an enormous power shift towards the East. The age of cheap stuff from Asia is now over. We're going to have to start building up our own industries. This will come with the cost of inflation, having to unwind all the debts. When gold inevitably becomes unpegged, we will see a rapid change in the price. This is because of the huge imbalances, and there will be a rush to buy. This is why you should already be in the lifeboat and wait patiently.

What's a critical component to consider in the early stages of venture capital investing? People. And people are particularly important when a business is new — when it feels like just a few founders with a big, bold idea. That's why serial investor, Joe Tonnos, says that 75 percent of early-stage investment is the founders an investor is backing. The remaining 25 percent is the product, market, and everything else. Joe is the Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Ketch Ventures, an investment firm that partners with disruptive, early-stage entrepreneurs and management teams to add value and grow consumer-facing businesses to the next level. On this episode of The Irresistible Factor, Joe shares his more-than-a-decade's worth of experience investing in and advising companies across a number of different sectors. (In addition to his role at Ketch Ventures, he also serves as Principal and Associate Portfolio Manager at Meteora Capital and Venture Partner at Natureza Growth Partners.) Joe outlines what early-stage investors like Ketch are looking for, highlights some of the defining characteristics of great founders. He also shares his advice for entrepreneurs: “It's having the vision, it's being prepared to explain it, and making an investor understand what makes [your business] compelling and how it's going to benefit them.”

Tom welcomes Jaime Carrasco of Canaccord Genuity back to the show. Jaime discusses the price valuations for miners with gold in the ground and why some remain very undervalued. These are amazing opportunities to buy into something the world will need soon. You need hedges to protect you from what is coming. It's important to have your own gold and these events only happen every hundred years or so. Many challenges are coming. SWIFT only works with Euros and Dollars and Russia no longer wants those currencies. Today, however, Russia is the largest producer while China and India are the largest buyers. The world is deciding what currency to use in their new system. Saudi Arabia, UAE, Venezuela, and Mexico are siding with Russia. Every time currency systems shift the biggest losers are the countries with the most debt. This is the elephant in the room. Since the Ruble is rising in value and is being backed by gold a relationship and floor are being put in for gold. Now consider Canada's non-existant gold reserves. Russia is a net buyer of gold so sanctions on metals has a minimal effect. Nickel is an example of the risks of owning paper contracts in a crisis. We're losing control of the commodity markets and the exchange pricing is shifting to the Eastern markets. Economic unravellings take about two years to play out. Two years to collapse and then the rebuilding starts. We need a complete cleansing of the system. Great leaders only come out of hard times and we're going to need to go through that period first. Housing markets usually crash because banks stop lending. Rates would have to rise quite a bit for inflation to be prevented. They can't raise rates much without killing the stock markets. Gold is going to have to move much much higher to rebalance the system. Time Stamp References:0:00 - Introduction1:47 - Golden Consequences4:46 - Positioning and Pullbacks7:18 - HUI VS.

Tom welcomes Jaime Carrasco of Canaccord Genuity back to the show. Jaime discusses managing pensions for Microsoft Canada and learning a lot about individuals investing strategies. Attitudes change during major stock moves and people wish they hadn't paid off debt and instead invested. Gold is not going to stay down much longer due to inflationary pressures. All markets have been manipulated though money from the financial sector. Metals are not able to signal the inflationary alarm. The explorers are being hit hard right now but that's where the value is along with producers. This is an excellent entry point. At some point we will see a massive rise in precious metals just to keep up with the other commodities. He explains how they reduced their crypto positions during 2020. They reallocated into producers and he is awaiting the next move in crypto. The true value right now is in the gold and silver producers. The financial titantic is sinking and we've see Fed members quit so they can get out of the markets. Something big is coming and it's not just up to the United States. China is the one that is going to be pulling the strings. The manipulation of markets has pushed up stock markets while keeping other markets down. The longer the physical imbalance the bigger the eventual adjustment. China has obtained a lot of gold and much of it is with Chinese citizens. They have stated they will be creating a new Yuan which will be backed by something tangible. Russia has also bought a lot of gold because they also understand the play. The demand for copper from China continues to be huge and therefore prices will remain high. We're using 'new math' to calculate the CPI if you calculate it like in the 80s were around 15%. There are only so many lifeboats for investors to get into and after that it's over. Russia is the only country with no internal debt and this is a result of exporting energy. They are just a massive producer of food and energy. They are sort of the bouncer for China. The activity in Ukraine is largely noise and Russia has little interest in that region. The big play is Nordstream 2. Putin is the chessmaster of geopolitics. Once the ship sinks we will rebuild the system without the old players and that is where blockchain will help us rebuild. The internet is going to allow us to decentralize away from these centralized systems.

Tom welcomes Jaime Carrasco of Canaccord Genuity back to the show. Jamie says people should focus on the positive and globally there is a growing perspective shift. The real debt ceiling broke some fifty years ago under Nixon. Debt is the problem and equity markets are tiny in comparison. Gold remains the ultimate hedge. The Evergrande default has similarities to the Lehmann Brothers collapse but it's larger. Since 2008 we've been able to postpone the collapse but since then a lot of gold has moved from west to east. China has had a massive win in Afghanistan and they did it without firing a shot. That region is key for trade and has potential energy implications for Iran. More companies and individuals are looking for fiat alternatives to preserve their wealth. If you're going to 'hedge accordingly' you should consider gold, silver, and blockchain. He contrasts Chile with Canada and why inflation seems an unavoidable aspect of Canada's future. Canada today has an aging population and now billions of debt. The consequences will be highly inflationary since there is no political will or gold reserves. The game is up. Inflation is an exponential event that compounds and accelerates. It's now signaling the decline in fiat currencies. Markets today are irrational and people need to awaken to this fact. Everything is looking good for gold and soon they won't be able to hold back the price. The Fed today is not unlike the Captain of the Titanic. Jaime discusses the importance of having cash to take advantage of opportunities. However, cash also carries risk. His equity focus is on producers because they have significant cash flow. With miners, you want to minimize geopolitical risk and look for good quality management. Jaime feels we're about to re-enter the storm that began back in 2008. He says, "Get your ship prepared."

Tom welcomes Jaime Carrasco of Canaccord Genuity back to the show. Jaime explains his strategy of hedging accordingly with 40% gold, 40% silver, and 20% blockchain. He believes blockchain technology will become increasingly important in building an alternative financial system. Inflation is occurring globally, and while they claim it will only be transitory, money can't be removed from today's system as debt can only grow. The system today is imploding and central banks are trying to keep things afloat. However, at an accounting level, things are a complete facade. Basel III is about the banks determining who has the physical gold behind all the paper promises. The ship is sinking, and their ability to control it depends on public perception. A replacement system will have a new structure, so why not build it on the blockchain and bypass banks. Today, most are still happy to be at the party on the financial Titanic. We don't know when the bubbles will end but what is most important is where we are heading. Gold should be trading much higher than where it is today. If gold were rising, people would stop trusting the Fed and central banks. The benefit is that you can still get a cheap seat on the lifeboats. Jaime points out that China has bought a lot of gold and had it converted to kilobars. So it will likely be up to China to call for the next currency reserve standard. As much as banks tell you that gold is unloved, they are, in fact, buying it. Jaime discusses the hedonic adjustments used to calculate the CPI and promotes the Fed's narrative. However, inflation is much higher than they are claiming and even using their flawed metrics, inflation is going much higher. Jaime discusses the geopolitical risk with mining and what to look for in mining equities. He expects dividends from mining producers to skyrocket when gold and silver rise. Chile is starting to rewrite its constitution, and he expects this process will be a good litmus test for South America. Chile had a massive debt contraction under Pinochet, and today they have a low debt to GDP.

With the reopening trade well under way, Fred Demers and Brittany Baumann of the Multi-Asset Solutions Team dive deeper into recent changes made in the portfolio. From commodity prices to China's “first in, first out” role in the pandemic, they break down the core drivers for an overweight position on Canadian equities, a neutral stance on US and Emerging Markets, and an overall tilt away from fixed income. They also discuss the recent Canadian federal budget announcement, and what it means for multi-asset investors.  Speakers: Fred Demers, Director, Multi-Asset Solutions Team; Brittany Baumann, Associate Portfolio Manager, Multi-Asset Solutions Team                                                                                                                                       Disclosures The viewpoints expressed by the Portfolio Manager represent their assessment of the markets at the time of publication.

Tom welcomes forward thinker and returning guest Jaime Carrasco of Canaccord Genuity to the show. Jaime discusses 2020, the elections, and why the world needs a monetary reset. Whoever wins the election will have the job of negotiating with the world. Canada is making many stupid decisions around energy and the economy. Globally, the consequences are becoming evident from all the money printing. Language can change what we think and control narratives. There are consequences as things become more polarized and cautions that populist waves are often unpredictable. It seems we are living through a fourth turning. Central banks today are the real problem, and today, we are already beyond the end of the road. There is a good chance of a central bank blow-up this year or the next. There are too many issues, and these debts have to be reset, or there will be no economic growth. Copper is the global barometer for economic activity because it is hard to manipulate. Coper prices are moving higher, and he believes it is tracking monetary devaluation. He discusses precious metals manipulation and how it is done through massive paper dumps to control the price. The consequence of these actions is that soon they will only be able to slow the rise but won't stop it. Producers have incredible potential and will provide a lot of leverage in this environment. He's betting that his portfolio of producers will outperform. Jaime argues that blockchain is a digital currency system that can't be controlled and eventually will overwhelm the banker's control of gold. Before too long, we won't need the banks. Gold is the one constant that will endure and remain the ultimate form of money. He says, "Follow the yellow brick road."

Jaime credits this experience and having survived sailing through Hurricane Bob in 1991. This experience taught him lessons that have become a metaphor for his financial investment strategies. "Like one's financial wealth, sailing is not about controlling the wind, but rather about adjusting the sails."

In this episode Sarah Wildman, Director of Institutional & Family Office Wealth Services, is joined Geoff Castle, Portfolio Manager of the Pender Corporate Bond Fund, and Parul Garg, Associate Portfolio Manager of the Fund. They look back on the five-year anniversary of Geoff and Parul managing the Fund, look out to the next five, and discuss volatility and “the hunt for yield”, or as Geoff likes to say “managing for value”.

Tom welcomes returning guest Jaime Carrasco of Canaccord Genuity to the program. Jaime discusses the Fed's rampant money printing. Whenever central banks print like crazy, income inequality and destruction come to the middle class throughout history. These policies explain the politics today and why the outlier tends to be elected. The dollar avalanche is already unraveling, and it can't be stopped. The only question is will we end up with a global centrally orchestrated currency system or more of a country centric libertarian approach. Regardless of who wins the election, gold wins. The number one rule of power is he who has the gold makes the rules. China now has a lot of gold, and Jaime discusses what shape the future monetary system may take. Trump is more likely than the Democrats to restructure. Either way, a massive inflationary storm is coming, but Americans are more likely to remain in control of the direction under a Trump presidency. The pandemic was an excellent excuse to print all these trillions, and they have lost control of the yield curve. Banks are no longer able to suppress gold and silver but can only manage it's the ascent to an extent. In the background, systemic risks continue to rise, and the smart money is entering into gold. Eventually, physical shortages will become evident. Today, some miners are indeed dirt cheap opportunities. Position yourself to make it through the storm. Jaime believes America will eventually do the right thing and that the constitution is the best document for a civilized society.

Tom welcomes returning guest Jaime Carrasco of Canaccord Genuity to the program. Jaime discusses asset allocations in their portfolios and why many investors in various funds have little or no exposure to the precious metal sector. It can be difficult for many money managers to provide exposure to precious metals for their clients. Canaccord's Special Opportunity Portfolio is structured for that purpose. Jaime discusses a couple of charts that demonstrate the performance of gold and mining equities in recent months. They show a relative comparison between various possible investments like gold, miners, and the Dow going back to 2018. There appears to be a gradual restructuring occurring behind the scenes.

Jean-Christophe (JC) de Beaulieu joined the business in February as Head of Investments, Australia and Zhe Chen joined late last year as Associate Portfolio Manager, Research. Acadian Australia is wholly-owned by Acadian Asset Management LLC (collectively, Acadian). Acadian Asset Management LLC is a U.S. SEC-registered investment management firm based in Boston. The investment team in Australia is part of the broader global team and tailors Acadian’s quantitative investment process to manage Australian equities strategies. JC leads the local investment team that runs a range of long only and long/short systematic Australian equity strategies, and he will have both portfolio management and research responsibilities. Prior to joining Acadian, JC was the Managing Director of the active emerging market equity portfolio management team at State Street Global Advisors. In this role, JC drove the top-down and bottom-up research agenda while managing a global team of investment professionals. JC also represented active long only, long short emerging, and frontier equity strategies with clients and consultants. He has a strong quantitative background, and - importantly for the ongoing development of the Acadian business in Australia - extensive experience of running a team that tailors a global systematic possess for regional and country portfolios. Acadian is not a passive / index investor, not your traditional active manager. Rather it is a systematic manager that looks at up to 90 factors to determine where to invest. And it reviews those factors daily. These factors range from macro-economic, to stock/asset specific through to ESG. This enables Acadian to compare assets of different types – equities, fixed income, etc and how to develop multi-asset portfolios through to specific ones like income-generating portfolios. Broadly discusses low rates, increased uncertainty & what's next for investors.

In this episode Sarah Wildman, Director of Institutional & Family Office Wealth Services, sits down with Geoff Castle and Emily Wheeler, Portfolio Manager and Associate Portfolio Manager respectively of the recently launched Pender Bond Universe Fund.

Sarah Wildman is joined by Geoff Castle and Parul Garg, Portfolio Manager and Associate Portfolio Manager of the Pender Corporate Bond Fund. They discuss their thirteen-step decision-making checklist for analysing securities for inclusion in the portfolio.

In this episode I am joined by Katherine Glass-Hardenbergh, Associate Portfolio Manager at Acadian Asset Management.   In her role, Katherine focuses heavily on the application of alternative data in Acadian’s fundamentally-driven, systematic investment process.   Purported as being one of the leading frontiers of quant finance, there is plenty of hype around alternative data.  Katherine brings refreshing transparency to our conversation, speaking just as candidly about the hurdles in alternative data as the opportunities. We discuss everything from what alternative data is, where it comes from, interesting examples in the ever-expanding landscape, some of the practical challenges of working with alternative data, and the many potential applications for use within the investment industry. Katherine provides insight into the world of alternative data that only someone deep in the weeds could.  If you’ve ever been curious as to the real-world application of alternative data, this is definitely the episode for you. I hope you enjoy our conversation.

Today we have Susan Daley on the show and we're going to talk all about early retirement, such us how to pull it off, what to look out for, and some of the most common mistakes that Canadians make when trying to plan this out. Susan is an Associate Portfolio Manager at PWL Capital in Waterloo, where she provides financial planning and investment management services to a wide range of clients. She's also an Honours BBA graduate from Wilfrid Laurier University, which is actually where I graduated from too, so it's always fun to chat with a fellow grad about best practices when it comes to financial planning and investing. Links and Resources Top Tools and Resources for Financial Independence (for Canadians): Sign up anywhere on www.BuildWealthCanada.ca for a free guide on all the top tools and sites that I've personally used to help us achieve financial independence in our early 30s. They're also what we use now to optimize and manage our finances, and ensure that we're paying the lowest fees while getting solid returns on our investments. Kornel's investing course with free sample lessons at www.BuildWealthCanada.ca/invest You can reach out to Susan at sdaley@pwlcapital.com and she's at www.pwlcapital.com/waterloo Questions Covered: For somebody that is saving money for a large purchase like a house, wedding, a car, etc., where do you suggest they keep their money to let it grow safely? What to consider when deciding between RRSP vs TFSA vs non-registered?  What if you're planning to retire or semi-retire early (ex. 30s or 40s where it's still a long time before government benefits come in). Does that change anything in terms of what accounts you put the funds in?  Is there any time that you would use a non-registered account before using an RRSP and TFSA? How to determine if you've saved enough to retire early?  Once you hit that number, what changes do you make to your portfolio since now you're focused on sustainability instead of growth (changes in terms of asset allocation, and the investment products you choose). Would the answer be different if the person is in their 60s and about to receive government benefits vs if they are retired much earlier (ex. 40s)? What cash cushion do you recommend for those in retirement and semi-retirement? Some advisors recommend real return bonds for those in retirement. What are your thoughts?  How to decide what accounts to take money from in retirement? (RRSP vs TFSA vs non-registered)  

Jamie talks to Todd about his day to day operations at FBB Capital Partners, helping people to make the best choices when planning for retirement and the "golden years".  Jamie's approach starts by removing all products and services that may be perceived as "conflict of interest", a view toward the long term, and looking at a client's total financial situation. 

12-1:30pm A former industry insider, Larry Elford, will explore the often overwhelming investment industry. He will explore and clarify for us the types of investment abuses that have worked in combination to effectively cut the retirement savings of the average Canadian by more than half. Elford then continues to make recent events more transparent, travelling up the “economic food chain” to demonstrate how investment dealers and investment regulators work against, rather than for, the best interests of the public. This presentation is intended to provide the general public a brief introduction to what goes on “behind the curtains” of a trillion dollar industry, showing how the illegal is often made legal. Speaker:Larry Elford Larry Elford worked in the investment industry from 1984 to 2004, earning the designations CFP, CIM, FCSI and Associate Portfolio Manager. During this time, he became familiar with many tricks of the trade, which for insiders were often considered standard practice. Believing that exposing this “financial crime” through writing and speaking, Larry hopes to help instigate positive change. He has presented to a federal government standing committee on finance, and to documentaries on CTV and CBC. Currently semi-retired, Larry is studying to become a financial criminologist, using his over 30 years experience in the financial industry.
