Money Life with Chuck Jaffe - A podcast by Chuck Jaffe

John Cole Scott, executive chairman of the Active Investment Company Alliance, says that investors looking for something to buy as they pick through the rubble of the market's recent freefall will find fertile opportunities in closed-end funds, where discounts have widened but yields are up since the market fell away from all-time highs a month ago. Scott offers a few attractive options for today's tough conditions. Also on the show, David Souccar of Vontobel Quality Growth gives an international take on markets, noting that while the moves feel extreme, the responses to them should not be, Kerry Pechter editor of Retirement Income Journal, discusses changes being made to retirement calculators, and Kyle Guske of New Constructs singles out two stocks that he says have entered the Danger Zone.
