Ellis Traub

This will be Ellis Traub's last show. At least for a while. Last chance to call in and make whatever comments you'd like to make. Debate the issues, or just say so long!

Ellis Traub, author of "Take Stock: A Roadmap to Profiting from your First Walk down Wall Street," discusses the simple and effective methodology to make you a successful investor with practically no risk. Join him and ask all the questions you want to.

This evening's topic will be the effect the recent election results might have on the stock market and why we shouldn't worry about it.

Dial "1." Jump in and chat.

The dust will have settled on the mid-term election; and it's a good time to speculate on what the results might mean——and what they probably don't.

Given these results, what are the things that could put President Obama in office for a second term? We'll throw five of them out there for your consideration and invite your (civil) comment.

Once again, Ellis Traub digresses from the usual fare and talks about current events. With the mid-term election less than a week away, he talks about what he'd like to see come to pass as a result of this election.

Social Security has been a blessing for many, but portends to become a curse. For two years running, there have been no COLA (Cost of Living Adjustment) raises coming to senior citizens, disabled workers, and dependents of diseased workers and all are up in arms about it. Are they really entitled to a raise? Are we really entitled to the benefits we get? Let's talk about it.

Once again, the Wall Street Journal shoots itself in the foot...or, at least, makes a strong case against technical analysis as a predictive tool. This evening's show should be an upbeat look at the investing landscape. Let's make it a round-table. C'mon in and dial "1" to join the fun!

This broadcast gets back to the basics. Ellis Traub discusses the five reasons why his investment methods work and others don't.

All of our economic problems could be solved with a simple change in attitude. If those who hate the rich, think big business is an enemy, and believe that huge profits are taken at the expense of those who work for companies, were to come to their senses, we could get back on our feet again as a nation.

Where does the Constitution's First Amendment right to free speech and this nation's proud tradition of protecting that right for the media end and the need to prevent our enemies from acquiring critical information begin? As with all such rights, for which we are the envy of most of the world, abuse of those rights ultimately will result in their loss. Our choice: whether we voluntarily curb their exercise or have them forcibly taken away from us. This discussion will revolve around just how much commonsense and prudence our media should employ in the interest of our national security and well-being.

To know where money comes from, it's essential to know what it really is. Do you really make money or merely earn it? Or do you really earn it or do you steal it? Doest the government make it, earn it, or steal it? Or is there another option? These are some questions that more people need to know the answers to. Do you?
