TALKING BIZ NEWS EXCLUSIVE
John Wasik, whose personal finance column was dropped by Bloomberg News late last year, is now writing a weekly column for Reuters on a freelance basis.
Wasik says he is also freelancing for AARP Bulletin, Morningstar.com and Fortune.com. Aside from his business writing, he’s doing an in-depth investigative project that he’s looking to place in a national magazine or newspaper on how elderly investors were fleeced in structured investments that contained toxic derivatives.
The project is being funded by the Nation Institute. He’s looking for any investors who were caught in these vehicles and people in the brokerage/investment advisor industry who may have sold them or advised others.
Wasik is the author of 13 books, including “The Audacity of Help: Obama’s Economic Plan” and the “Remaking of America” and “The Cul-de-Sac Syndrome: Turning Around the Unsustainable American Dream,” both published by the soon-to-be downsized Bloomberg Press. His Bloomberg column had been picked up by papers on five continents including The Financial Times, International Herald Tribune and Boston Globe.
