Ron Insana Speaker Biography
Business leaders and financial professionals look to Ron Insana for his analysis of the most pressing economic and financial markets issues of the day. Ron is a pioneer in television financial news reporting. He is currently a senior analyst and commentator at CNBC and also hosts The Market Score Board Report, a daily nationally syndicated radio program. Ron is co-founder and CEO of Contrast Capital Partners, a firm catering to the needs of the investment advisor community. He is also the founder and CEO of The Insana Entertainment Group, a film and TV production company. Ron is the author of four books on investing and reading the financial markets. In his speeches, Ron offers valuable insights on the intersection of Wall Street, Main Street, and Washington. He translates market signals and political maneuvers into actionable information his audience can use to navigate change, protect what they have, and spot fresh opportunities.
Ron’s career in financial reporting was a total accident. He had graduated from college with a degree in film production when a producer friend at the Financial News Network hired him on as a freelance producer in 1984. FNN was the first television network devoted exclusively to financial news. One day in 1985 the network’s only two anchors got sick on the same day and Ron found himself on the air for a full eight-hour shift. With that, Ron’s financial broadcasting career was born. When the Financial News Network merged with CNBC in 1991, Ron became a regular anchor there and had a frequent presence on other NBC News shows.
Ron was named one of the “Top 100 Business News Journalists of the 20th Century” and was nominated for a news and documentary Emmy for his role in NBC’s coverage of 9/11.
His four books on Wall Street, include TrendWatching: Don’t Be Fooled by the Next Investment Fad, Mania, or Bubble; The Message of the Markets: How Financial Markets Foretell the Future–and How You Can Profit from Their Guidance; Traders’ Tales: A Chronicle of Wall Street Myths, Legends, and Outright Lies; and How to Make a Fortune from the Biggest Bailout in U.S. History: A Guide to the 7 Greatest Bargains from Main Street to Wall Street.
Ron is a highly regarded lecturer on domestic and global economics, financial markets, and economic policy issues. Ron graduated with honors from California State University at Northridge.

The Economy & Geopolitics in 2026: Everything Everywhere All at Once
If 2026 goes wrong, it won’t be because of one thing – it’ll be because everything hits the wall all at once. From a Fed credibility crisis to AI-driven job losses to re-escalating global conflicts, the vulnerabilities are quickly multiplying. From a potential bursting of an AI bubble to a looming private credit crisis, and from a head-on collision between the White House and a new Congress, to a full-blown confrontation between the U.S. and China, it is possible that multiple crises can hit the economy, markets, and business all in one year.
Ron’s goal: To make sure everything everywhere doesn’t happen to you all at once. Forewarned is forearmed…fortune favors those who are told.
Ron tailors this presentation to suit each audience. Sample topics:
• Will 2026 look more like 1929, 1979 or 1999?
• How will the Federal Reserve answer to Donald Trump?
• What does Federal Reserve policy mean for the economy and markets?
• How to scenario plan amid economic policy unpredictability.
• If Democrats retake the House, will they block, or reverse, any Trumponomics?
• The One Big Beautiful Bill fully takes effect in 2026. What’s the impact?
• Which is more important: weakening labor market and resurgent inflation?
• Will the wars between Russia and Ukraine, Israel and Gaza still be hot in 2026?
• Will the AI build-out bubble burst? If not, who gets hurt the worst?
• Watching: Market hot spots, lofty valuations, shortfall profits, and private credit.
• Impact of most important policy changes on the overall economy.
• Immigration, jobs, inflation/stagflation, and economic growth.
• Global Hot Spots: The ones to watch that may affect your business.

Reviews
Great speaker!
Ron is a pro and delivered exactly what we asked for. He got some laughs and provided many good insights that our attendees were able to take back and apply to their businesses.
Ron was a pleasure to work with and gave our audience much valuable information into the economic outlook for 2020 and beyond. He was very personable and the perfect guest to help Long Island’s movers and shakers gain some perspective on what to expect over the coming months.
