Seeking the Best Financial Advice

By Robert Ray

5:53pm 

From covering natural disasters in the Midwest to advice on my 401(k) plan at the Morningstar investment conference it’s been a roller coaster two weeks. Gotta tell you, this business news stuff aint so boring after all. I mean who says that business is stodgy or blah? Well, I beg to differ because you see the American Economy and people’s money will never be boring because those are two topics that will be talk points until the planet stops spinning. That’s a long time. 

We have a terrific two-day of live broadcast coming from McCormick Place in Chicago. 

Dagen McDowell will be anchoring and interviewing key investment advisors and Jeff Flock will roam the convention floors in search for the most interesting investment advice on the planet. 

The space of the convention floor is enormous, about 5 football fields. This morning the place was totally empty and now at 6pm it is bustling with booths and people chatting a low roar. Our crew here at Fox Business Network is the best in biz, these guys have been erecting our set, lighting and camera testing, what a job! And not to mention the hard working people in the trades…the carpenters, electricians, all folks in a great business roles that make the end result shine.

So if you have the time check out the broadcast in the next couple days, and if you can’t make it to the tube you can always watch our special behind the scenes segments right here on this very website that you are staring at. Hope you enjoy one of the many media platform we will provide of this exciting conference that is all about cash. On that note, I have to go to the ATM now and check the balance in my checking account.
