Where is the economy heading? Ron Insana delivers clear insights that business leaders and financial professionals can use to make smarter decisions. A pioneering figure in television financial news, Ron is Senior Business Analyst for MS NOW. He also hosts The Market Score Board Report, a twice-daily nationally syndicated radio program, where he breaks down market-moving developments with clarity and perspective. As former CEO of iFi AI, an AI-powered stock research platform, Ron had a front row seat to the AI revolution. He is also founder and CEO of The Insana Entertainment Group, a film and TV production company. Ron is the author of four books on investing and financial markets dynamics. In his speeches, Ron makes sense of the business, economic, technological, and political news and trends – distilling them into actionable insights can use to navigate change, protect what they have, and spot fresh opportunities. In addition to keynoting, Ron is an outstanding moderator and interviewer.
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. That launched Ron’s financial broadcasting career. When the Financial News Network merged with CNBC in 1991, Ron became a regular anchor, analyst, and commentator there and a frequent presence on other NBCUniversal and VERSANT news channels.
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.
In addition to his four books on investing which 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 publishes The Message of the Markets on Substack.
Ron is a highly regarded speaker on domestic and global economics, financial markets, economic policy issues, and technology trends impacting business. Throughout his career, he has conducted in-depth interviews with U.S. presidents, global heads of state, and many of the world’s most influential business and investment leaders, including Warren Buffett, George Soros, and Peter Lynch. 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.
