Excerpt from Bloomberg TV -- "I think investors have policy overload. They've been through the debt ceiling crisis, the supercommittee, the fiscal cliff, and by comparison, sequestration doesn't seem like it's much of a deal at all. It's happening gradually, which means that the politicians aren't busy doing something except maybe tinkering with the air traffic controllers or some other thing and so I think investors are willing to give this a chance and I don't think they really appreciate what sequestration is going to mean."
-
Excerpt from Investment News -- “'The promise is, over the long haul, you're going to get a better risk-adjusted return stream with alternatives, but that doesn't mean you'll always outperform,' said Robert Whitelaw, finance chairman at the Leonard N. Stern School of Business."
-
Excerpt from Financial Times -- "Finally, during lunch with Scott Galloway, an NYU professor with a thinktank called L2 and a giant sideline in tracking the digital luxury space and consulting, he mentioned he thought the showroom was the way of the future: that e-commerce brands needed a physical outlet – well, window on the brand — going forward."

Prof. Scott Galloway explains how consumers benefit from the digital media shift
April 30, 2013
Excerpt from Bloomberg TV -- "At the end of the day, consumers win. Consumers don't want advertising so they found technology to skip through that, they want great content, they want to watch it when they want to watch it. I think Netflix's release of House of Cards was kind of the latest real big innovation."

April 30, 2013
Excerpt from Minnesota Public Radio -- "Does money matter? Yes, but it depends on what you mean by 'matter.' You may be more satisfied with your life if you have more money, but this doesn't necessarily mean you'll be happier. Happiness and satisfaction are simply different things."

In an op-ed, Prof. Roubini explains why the Federal Reserve's exit from QE3 is problematic
April 29, 2013
Excerpt from Project Syndicate -- "The exit from the Fed’s QE and zero-interest-rate policies will be treacherous: Exiting too fast will crash the real economy, while exiting too slowly will first create a huge bubble and then crash the financial system. If the exit cannot be navigated successfully, a dovish Fed is more likely to blow bubbles."
-
Excerpt from CNNMoney -- "Roubini, an economics professor at New York University best known for predicting the U.S. housing crisis, thinks the Federal Reserve and other central banks around the world can and will prop up stocks and bonds for the next two years."

Dean Peter Henry shares lessons from emerging markets, from his book, "Turnaround"
April 26, 2013
Excerpt from WNYC -- "I intentially used the term 'third world' because I wanted to point out that one of the things that we need to do in order to get back on track and start living up to our potential is to have the humility to learn lessons from what are now emerging markets. And it's important to understand that during the 1970s, places like China, Brazil, Chile, South Korea, they were all third world countries. But they used discipline... to turn around their economies and become today's emerging markets."

Excerpt from Big Think -- "But as I encountered economics for the first time many years later and brought together Miss Mama and, as it were, economic science, it struck me that there was really an opportunity to think about how do you actually help people like Miss Mama help themselves.

But, of course, the issue is how do you help people like Miss Mama become more productive so they can feed themselves?"

Excerpt from Bloomberg TV -- "Being in a market is like being in a relationship with someone who's bipolar. You could be doing nothing wrong or nothing right and we are definitely on the latter half of that. Anything is seen as an indicator of Apple's demise, but look at the company. You basically have the best brand in the world now trading at multiples that are cheaper than Dell. So as negative as you might be about Apple's prospects, are they worse than Dell's right now? You can buy this company at about four and a half times EBITDA, best brand in the world..."
