Open Thread + Tune in Sunday Evening to NoQuarter Radio’s Sense on Cents with Larry Doyle

By Larry Doyle on April 18, 2009 at 7:30 AM in Economy, NoQuarter Radio, Open Thread

SUNDAY NIGHT PROGRAM CONCLUDED . LISTEN TO ARCHIVED SHOW!

Please join me Sunday evening from 8-9 p.m. ET for NoQuarter Radio’s Sense on Cents with Larry Doyle. The developments in the markets, economy, global finance, Wall Street, and Washington are occurring at breakneck speed. I will try to slow things down a bit and provide a sense of perspective. What did we learn in the markets over the last week and what does that mean for the weeks and months ahead? We will address a wide range of issues, including: transparency and quality of earnings, Goldman’s and JP Morgan’s initiative to pay back TARP, and bank stress test results.

In addition, my guest Sunday night will be Chris Lowney. Lowney, formerly a Jesuit, was named a Managing Director of J.P. Morgan while still in his thirties and held senior positions in New York, Tokyo, Singapore and London until leaving the firm in 2001. He served successively on Morgan’s Asia-Pacific, Europe, and Investment Banking Management Committees. Lowney’s first book, Heroic Leadership: Best Practices from a 450-Year-Old Company that Changed the World, was the #1 ranked bestseller of the CBPA (Catholic Book Publishers Association) and was named a finalist for a 2003 Book of the Year Award from ForeWord magazine. It has been translated into ten languages.

In writing Heroic Leadership, Lowney displays how the Jesuits eschewed a “flashy” leadership style in favor of a holistic approach focusing on four unique values: self-awareness, ingenuity, love and heroism. Lowney explores the four principles in detail, illustrating each with anecdotes from Jesuit history. He examines the Jesuit success formula of attacking real-world opportunities with real-world leadership strategies, showing how their formula can be used today to practice effective, whole-person leadership.

These are truly historic times in the global economy. Let’s “navigate the economic landscape” without the pandering or nonsense found elsewhere! What is on your mind? What would you like to address? Please share your questions and thoughts by calling in to (347) 677-0792, and also join our live chat room, which I’ll start up about 10 minutes before the show begins.

Many thanks to Larry Johnson and the rest of the team at NoQuarter for providing such a vibrant vehicle as NoQuarter Radio. I look forward to having you join me Sunday evening as we collectively navigate the economic landscape!!

Remember the Bridge to Nowhere? King of Pork Jack Murtha’s funded an Airport To Nowhere.HT: Instapundit

“Murtha, dubbed the King of Pork by critics, consistently directs more federal money to his district than any other congressman — $192 million in the 2008 budget. His pattern of steering millions in earmarks to defense contractors who give to his campaign and hire his allies as lobbyists is being scrutinized by the FBI as part of an investigation of a lobbying firm led by one of Murtha’s closest friends. The lawmaker, who uses the airport frequently during his campaigns, has steadily steered millions of taxpayer dollars to it to build a new terminal with a restaurant; a long, concrete runway sturdy enough to handle large jets; and a high-tech radar system usually reserved for international airports. The airport’s passenger count has fallen by more than half in the past 10 years. When Johnstown native Bill Previte arrived on a recent morning, he lamented that his plane was half-empty and that the terminal was deserted.”

Jack Murtha remains one of Congress’ most eloquent arguments for Term Limits.
