Masta Ace - The Unkut Interview
Having retired from solo projects, Master Ace was touring with his EMC crew when I caught up with him at the end of 2007. While he waited for his meal he held court at the hotel bar and gave me the chance to pick his brain on a number of topics, both relevant and trivial. His show later that night was also on point, as he went beyond the call of duty to keep the crowd entertained beyond the standard ‘pace around the stage’ bullshit. Robbie: When you first came out, everyone used to think tha

There's been a lot of speculation that Lehman Brothers would have to sell its Neuberger Berman unit to offset billions of dollars of additional writedowns from bad debt.

Prep for CNBC’s The Big Idea
I’ve been appearing here and there on The Big Idea with Donny recently. Thought you might receive a kick out of how the show comes together and the role of so-called experts (yours truly) who are invited on the show. Below are the emailed questions I received in advanceof my most recent appearance. They take this and turn it into what’s called a “rundown”, which is essentially an outline of the show with talking points, many of which end up on the teleprompter.

The Dismal Situation George Soros Warned You About
Last year, I devoted several issues of my Strategic Investment service to the web of structured finance. I think it paid off. Since then, banks and brokerage stocks were punished. Energy and material stocks have soared-thanks to the Fed’s inflation campaign. Fed officials have taken their ability to devalue the U.S. dollar to new heights. Sure, it’s recovered slightly. But, what collateral backs today’s dollar? Mostly mortgage securities that nobody wants — as if Treasury bond collateral weren
