If you wake up early on Monday mornings tune in to “Stocks and Jocks” – a financial talk show with sports commentary airing Monday-Friday, 6-8AM CT on stocksandjocks.net. I join host, Tom Haugh, at 6AM CT every Monday. The show has been described as combining “the market insight of Louis Rukeyser, a dash of sports, and the humor of Seinfeld with truly honest stock market and economic advice.” My area of expertise is honesty.
