Ron Insana Biography

Business leaders and financial professionals look to Ron Insana for his analysis of the most pressing economic and financial markets issues of the day. Insana is a pioneer in television financial news reporting. He is currently senior analyst and commentator at CNBC and also hosts The Market Score Board Report, a daily nationally syndicated radio program.

Insana is cofounder and CEO of Contrast Capital Partners, a firm catering to the needs of the investment advisor community. He is also founder and CEO of The Insana Entertainment Group, a film and TV production company. Insana is author of four books on investing and reading the financial markets. In his speeches, Insana offers valuable insights on the intersection of Wall Street, Main Street, and Washington. He translates market signals and political maneuvers into actionable information his audience can use to navigate change, protect what they have, and spot fresh opportunities.

Insana’s career in financial reporting was a total accident. He had graduated from college with a degree in film production when a producer friend at the Financial News Network hired him on as a freelance producer in 1984. FNN was the first television network devoted exclusively to financial news. One day in 1985 the network’s only two anchors got sick on the same day and Insana found himself on the air for a full eight-hour shift. With that, Insana’s financial broadcasting career was born. When the Financial News Network merged with CNBC in 1991, Insana became a regular anchor there and a frequent presence on other NBC News shows.

Insana was named one of the “Top 100 Business News Journalists of the 20th Century” and was nominated for a news and documentary Emmy for his role in NBC’s coverage of 9/11. His four books on Wall Street, include: TrendWatching: Don't Be Fooled by the Next Investment Fad, Mania, or Bubble; The Message of the Markets: How Financial Markets Foretell the Future--and How You Can Profit from Their Guidance; Traders' Tales: A Chronicle of Wall Street Myths, Legends, and Outright Lies; and How to Make a Fortune from the Biggest Bailout in U.S. History: A Guide to the 7 Greatest Bargains from Main Street to Wall Street.

Insana is a highly regarded lecturer on domestic and global economics, financial markets, and economic policy issues. Insana graduated with honors from California State University at Northridge.

Ron Insana Speaking Topics

IS A NORMAL ECONOMY THE “NEW NORMAL?”

Unprecedented global political instability, inflation, broken supply chains, changes to work and the workforce, economic turmoil, and living with Covid long term. Against that back drop of epic uncertainty and constant change, Ron Insana offers up insights and advice that help business leaders and investors navigate the chaos. Ron is the experienced voice of economic reason – a savvy trend-watcher who helps audiences prepare for tomorrow by looking at today through the lens of economic history. Ron tailors this presentation to suit each audience and can focus on:

  • The Tipping Point: When does the global recession begin and just how bad will it be?
  • Have central banks lost their way?
  • Who wins in 2023 – Wall Street or Main Street?
  • De-globalization: Business in the new, new world order
  • Politics and Geo-Politics: What to know in the year ahead
  • The coming AI revolution: How the American economy will be radically transformed in five years or less
  • The Art of Investing in a post-Zero Interest Rate World
  • Crypto Currencies: Dead money forever or are there signs of life?

Politics, Policy and the Economy: What Issues on Capitol Hill Mean for Main Street and Wall Street

Debt and deficit issues, the unemployment picture and reigniting the global economic engine all have the White House, Congress and a frustrated public all focused on the continued uncertainty that faces the economy. President Obama and Congress still face a myriad of complex policy choices. What effect will regulation like Dodd Frank and the Affordable Care Act have on how business operates? Will tax cuts and the increased liquidity help jump-start growth? What does the current state of fiscal and monetary policy say about our long-term prospects for a full recovery? And just how will policymakers decide to spend money as President Obama and Congress work together in the President’s second term? A veteran financial industry analyst, Ron Insana provides clear and coherent analysis that bridges the gap between Capitol Hill and the Federal Reserve, explaining how their actions spill onto both Wall Street and Main Street. In this forward-looking presentation that shows how today’s political and economic headlines will affect your future, Insana shares trusted insights on where we are, where we are going and how the intersection between politics, policy and the economy will get us there.

Fortress America: The Case for Growth in 2014 and Beyond

While many analysts are pessimistic about America’s prospects for solid economic growth over the next few years, trusted financial industry analyst Ron Insana makes a persuasive case that there is no place like home. As Europe deals with the sovereign debt crisis shaking the Euro Zone to its core, China manages looming inflationary worries and the once-hot emerging markets have seemed to cool off, Americans have increased reason to be optimistic that the economy will grow far beyond our current expectations. Insana reads all of the signs—from an industrial renaissance, a domestic energy boom and a born-again consumer to record corporate profits and the hard choices that politicians must make to shore up our overstretched national balance sheet—to help audiences understand how and why the U.S. will outpace the world in terms of growth and finally solve the fiscal and regulatory problems for which the country has been severely criticized. Without ignoring the other global growth stories that will advance the markets in the near future, Insana helps investors, businesses and organizations understand the way forward.

2014: A Year of Transition

In 2014, there are many events that may cause some short-term tumult in both the domestic markets and in the global economy.

While I remain fundamentally optimistic about the long-term prospects for a growing US economy that will create a "Fortress America" over the next 5-10 years, 2014 has the potential to create a significant pause in the forward momentum of the markets and global economy.

1.) The transition at the Federal Reserve is of key importance, as Janet Yellen assumes the title of chair on February 1, 2014.

2.) As economic growth accelerates, and long-term interest rates rise, reflecting stronger growth and reduced need for Federal Reserve intervention, the U.S. stock market and emerging markets, may suffer a significant correction (15-20%), as they adjust to accelerating growth and "normalized" interest rates.

3.) Emerging Markets are no longer moving in unison, with each facing the threat of, not only rising rates, but both positive and negative political developments in each nation. Thailand, Ukraine, Singapore and India face formidable political problems, while Mexico, Indonesia and Vietnam continue to advance, both politically and economically.

4.) Make or break years for China and Japan with new economic and political policies being pushed and tested.

5.) Geo-political challenges between China and Japan, the U.S. and Iran, the U.S. and China could all cause economic disruptions and short-term, but increasing volatility in a variety of markets.

In all, these uncertainties are enough, in my view, to set 2014 up as a year of transition that interrupts, but does not end, America's march toward a stronger, more balanced and more functional economy and political environment.

After 4 years of stellar returns in the stock market; steady, but unspectacular growth in the economy, we could be in for a pause that refreshes. It may seem like something less benign, but it is a topic worth exploring in the months ahead.
