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. Ron 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. Ron is
chief market strategist at Dynasty Financial 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. Ron is the author of four books on
investing and reading the financial markets. In his speeches, Ron 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.

Ron’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
Ron found himself on the air for a full eight-hour shift. With that, Ron’s financial broadcasting career was born. When the
Financial News Network merged with CNBC in 1991, Ron became a regular anchor there and a frequent presence on other
NBC News shows.

Ron 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.

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

The Economy Ahead: Opportunities Abound

Where is this economy headed and how will it impact you and your business? Big picture: Ron Insana says it’s time to buckle up because the future may look a lot more like the past than anything we’ve experienced since the 1980s. A student of economic and markets history, Ron authored four books on these subjects. In his talks, Ron lays out scenarios for the economic, business, and investing future – looking at the macro forces currently at play and identifying what happened during periods in history when similar forces converged.

Testimonials

Simply put, we could not be more pleased! In addition to having the ideal insights in the financial markets, policies and global economic drivers, Ron Insana was truly a pleasure to be around and extremely gracious of his time with our conference attendees. He provided seemingly unlimited access to all attendees interested in speaking with him. He made this year’s conference the very best ever. I hope that he becomes a regular in our circuit of speakers at both the state level here in North Carolina and perhaps also with NAIOP events in DC and throughout the country.

– National Association of Industrial and Office Properties

Ron was perfect. No one could have done a better job. He was not only as good as I expected - he was even better. He’s a pro!

– Molloy College

Ron Insana delivered the most insightful commentary across the political and economic landscape - all with great style and humor. Without slides or a script, he captivated the room - without exception, the audience absolutely love him.

– Omnicom

You should know that your newest fan club – CTA – was abuzz yesterday! The Board unanimously declared you best speaker we’ve had…period. Lunch and dinner were spent talking about your insights; your range and depth are extraordinary. The gut punches of laughter were the icing on the cake. Thank you for opening our eyes much wider.

– Consumer Technology Association

It was a rare and distinct pleasure to work with you during our summit. We received immediate positive feedback – literally as people were leaving the ballroom. I know the Long Island business community is better informed today, because of all the insights you shared with us yesterday.

– Albrecht, Viggiano, Zureck & Company, P.C.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Seth Deckman is the only Keynote Curator you’re ever going to need for your events and conferences that require the best Keynote speakers. His attention to detail and true concern about meeting your event’s needs to go above and beyond. I cannot recommend him highly enough call him as soon as you have your speaker need for your next conference or meeting.
