Oct. 14, 3:30 – 4:30 p.m. MT

BIOGRAPHY:

A pioneering financial journalist, Ron Insana has covered the most important economic stories of our lifetime over his nearly four decades on television. Currently a senior analyst and commentator with CNBC where he has served as an anchor and correspondent since 1991, Ron also hosts The Market Score Board Report, a thrice-daily nationally syndicated radio program. He has also written for Money magazine and USA Today, authored four books on investing and reading the financial markets, and is currently a senior adviser at Schroders Investment Management.

Ron looks at how Wall Street, Main Street, and Washington are intersecting and translates the market signals and political maneuvers into actionable information everyone can understand and use to protect what they have and navigate an uncertain future — connecting the dots to give his audience a clearer idea of what the economic future might look like.

Ron is a trailblazer; he was among the first group of financial journalists who launched the Financial News Network (FNN) in 1984. When FNN merged with CNBC in 1991, Ron continued to cover the most important stories affecting the financial markets as an anchor and correspondent on CNBC and on other NBC news outlets. In the process, he became one of the most visible reporters broadcasting financial news and has over the years become known for his high-profile interviews, included Presidents Clinton and Bush, Warren Buffett, George Soros, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Mikhail Gorbachev, and many more.

During his broadcasting career, Ron has received numerous honors for his work, including being named one of the “Top 100 Business News Journalists of the 20th Century” and being nominated for a News and Documentary Emmy Award for his role in NBC’s coverage of the 9/11 terrorist attack. He has authored four books: How to Make a Fortune from the Biggest Bailout in U.S. History (2009); Traders Tales: A Chronicle of Wall Street Myths, Legends, and Outright Lies (1996), Trend Watching: Don’t Be Fooled by the Next Investment Fad, Mania, or Bubble (2002), and The Message of the Markets (2000).
