No Quarter Radio’s Sense on Cents with Larry Doyle, Tonight at 8PM

By Larry Doyle on August 30, 2009 at 9:01 AM in NoQuarter Radio, Sense on Cents (Larry Doyle blog)

(Aug 30th show concluded. You can listen to the archived show at your convenience.)

Many analysts would promote the performance and developments on Wall Street as the clear indicator of future developments on Main Street. The divide between these two great thoroughfares has never been greater. In fact, The Wall Street Journal’s lead article on Saturday morning, Halting Recovery Divides America in Two, highlights this very point. What is the name of the street trying to bridge this divide? Pennsylvania Avenue.

Please join me Sunday evening, August 30th from 8-9pm as I traverse the economic landscape along these three distinct avenues. I will be joined by an individual, John Lounsbury, who is a student, professor, and practitioner on a wide array of topics played out on these streets.

John Lounsbury provides comprehensive financial planning and investment advisory services to a small number of families. He has a background which includes 34 years with a major international corporation, 25 years in R&D management, and corporate staff positions. More recently he was a Series 6, 7, and 63 licensed representative with a major insurance company brokerage from 1992 to 2001. Since 2002 he has operated his own sole proprietorship business. John’s specific interests include political and economic history and investment strategy analysis.

John is also a featured contributor at TheStreet.com Real Money and has his own blog, PiedmontHudson.

Please join me Sunday night as I chat with John Lounsbury. We will hold nothing back in dispensing a healthy dose of wisdom and riveting analysis as we collectively navigate the economic landscape. 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 No Quarter for providing such a vibrant vehicle as No Quarter Radio.

Thank, Larry. That sounds like a much needed topic to explore and discuss.

I posed a question on an earlier post and will ask it again here. I recently heard of Gerald Celente and his Trend Research Institute and Journal.Who is he? Is he legit? Is he a conspiracy theorist? The reason I ask the last question is that I have a family member who sounds like Gerald Celente in one are. The forecast that I heard Celente predict was that by 2012 their will be riots in the streets in large metro area over food and other basic needs. My family member has been predicting this for a long time and I have always passed it off as an overactive imagination. Imagine my shock when I heard someone else say it.
Thanks to anyone who is able to help me with these questions concerning Mr. Celente.

Faye,

I have not heard of Mr. Celente specifically but I have heard these prognostications by many people. As a precursor to those types of unsettled conditions, what have been huge sellers?

Safes and guns.

Not trying to be an alarmist but with unemployment in cities very high and getting higher, there are reasons for concern.
Faye

Thank you Larry for responding and I can see if the conditions were right that this could actually happen.
It is harder for some one who lives in a middle of no where rural area to imagine this. We have it lucky in areas that metro people don’t, even if it means 15 miles to a village, 50 miles to a hospital and 150 miles to a Walmart. Lots of area to have a garden.
