Wall Street Unplugged - Your Best Source For Finance, Investing & Economics

Welcome back to another episode of Wall Street Unplugged. This week I’m joined by John Petrides – Managing Director and Portfolio Manager at Point View Wealth Management. On today’s episode, John and I look back at the major headlines from 2016. So much has happened… and as a result, we’ve witnessed one of the most volatile years in stock market history. John provides listeners with a step-by-step market review – leading us all the way to today’s rally.

As investors, there are many lessons we must carry-over into the new year. Tune in to hear why John and I are approaching 2017 much differently than last year.
