Back in the 70s and 80s, listening to Louis Rukeyser an hour a week on tv was the best education ever in economics and investing.

I went to a live seminar he did and he spent most of the lecture ripping on Carter and his failed stagflation policies.

Heh, heh, when you mentioned Louis Rukeyser, I had to go to youtube & listen to WSW’s opening theme with its rhythmical ticker machines. It was like listening to money in the process of being made.

Still miss Louis’ puns, his Elves, and his skeptical view of government.

My time’s about up; I don’t envy Millennials and wouldn’t be one just to be young again, not for all the tea in China.

I liked Louis Rukeyser. I listened to him back in the 1980’s.
He used to have his father come by sometimes to share his take on the markets at that time. Louis was an easy going personality working with a very complex view of financial tools and tendencies. He was almost never boring, and I hate most math.
