Author Information

Since beginning his career as an equities analyst in Hong Kong in 1986, Richard Duncan has served as global head of investment strategy at ABN AMRO Asset Management in London, worked as a financial sector specialist for the World Bank in Washington DC, and headed equity research departments for James Capel Securities and Salomon Brothers in Bangkok. He also worked as a consultant for the IMF in Thailand during the Asia Crisis. Richard is now the publisher of Macro Watch, a biweekly video-newsletter he launched in 2013. Chris Reilly has had a serendipitous career using his voice. After graduating from college in New York City, for a decade you could hear him reading the news on 1010 WINS (All News, All the Time) and on WNYC, New York Public Radio, the top public radio station in America and nowadays a major podcast producer. A change of pace brought him back to the greenery of bucolic northern Connecticut, where he's originally from. In the wake of tedious stints in sales and marketing, audiobooks took the world by storm, and Chris didn't miss a beat. When he's not behind the microphone in his home studio, you might find Chris riding his scooter around town, drinking black coffee, caring for his Ragdoll cat, or solving a crossword puzzle.
