Forbes/Fridson Income Securities Investor

I am the chief investment officer of Lehmann, Livian, Fridson Advisors LLC and editor of Forbes/Fridson Income Securities Investor. I have written six books on finance and political economy. My work has appeared in Barron's, the Financial Times, and numerous professional periodicals such as Financial Analysts Journal and the Journal of Portfolio Management. While working at Merrill Lynch I was named top high yield bond strategist for nine consecutive years in Institutional Investor's All America Research survey. Investment Dealers Digest has described me as "perhaps the most well-known figure in the high yield world.” The Financial Management Association International named me the Financial Executive of the Year in 2002. In 2000, I became the youngest person ever inducted into the Fixed Income Analysts Society Hall of Fame. The Boston Globe said my 2006 book, Unwarranted Intrusions: The Case Against Government Intervention in the Marketplace, should be short-listed for best business book of the decade.
