After a 16-year career on Wall Street, most recently as Executive Vice President for PIMCO Funds, Brian Trumbore chucked it all in 1999 to travel and comment on the world scene. The foundation of StocksandNews is Trumbore’s “Week in Review.” In an age where we often suffer from information overload, this is the piece that supplies you with all of the essential news, both from a geopolitical as well as financial standpoint, which allows one to stay abreast of a changing world.

And here at StocksandNews, we believe in hitting the road to get the real story. In just the past eight years, Trumbore has spent extensive time in the following countries and territories:

Australia, Austria, Bulgaria, Canada, Chile, China, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Lebanon, Micronesia, Morocco, Netherlands, New Zealand, Paraguay, Poland, Polynesia, Romania, Russia, Singapore, Slovenia, South Korea, Taiwan, Turkey, United Kingdom, Ukraine

All of which adds to the depth and breadth of “Week in Review.”

And while you’re at it, don’t forget to check out our other proprietary links; “Bar Chat,” “Hot Spots,” “Dr. Bortrum,” and “Wall Street History” where you will be able to immerse yourself in some of the other issues of the day, from the world of sports and music to black holes. Plus we have the best cartoon strip on the Web, “Lamb in Command,” illustrated by our own Harry Trumbore.

So enjoy the site and don’t hesitate to drop us a line.
