Join us Saturdays live at 1:00pm on FOX News Radio 910am for a unique 1-hour talk show covering financial and investment topics of the day! Each week we bring new topics and special guests with a goal to be educational, informative and fun! The format of the show is akin to three guys sitting at a bar (minus the drinks!) talking about financial issues of the day. Always relevant, oftentimes irreverent, we give you the news behind the news and bring common sense to the often confusing headlines of today’s media.
