Investors seem to be more focused on the short term than ever. You can credit hedge funds and institutional investors having to report performance on a monthly basis. CNBC's 24/7 coverage of financial news doesn't help. However we got here, many analysts are calling for a return to longer term frameworks for investing -- for investors and managers that run the companies they invest in. Finance professor, Al Rappaport has been analyzing shareholder value since his first paper on the subject in 1965. His new book, Saving Capitalism from Short Termism: How to Build Long-Term Value and Take Back Our Financial Future is a clarion call to break out of our current myopia and find a way to focus on long term value. Rappaport joins us on Tradestreaming Radio today. How to Build Long-Term Value and Take Back Our Financial Future

It's not easy to break into the hedge fund industry. As today's guest on Tradestreaming Radio (enrolled in a joint JD/MBA program at Harvard) can attest, even great credentials aren't enough to land you your first job.

But this show is jam-packed as he shares *what works (and doesn't) to land a hedge fund internship *how you can land a buy-side job without experience on Wall Street *how you can standout from other applicants *how hard work can help you penetrate the old-boys network *how to make sure research gives you an unfair advantage Thanks again for joining us on Tradestreaming Radio, where we discuss technology, tips and techniques to becoming a better -- more accurate -- investor.

Sometimes I get distracted when I'm looking for my next investment -- the noise drowns out my ability to identify companies best-positioned for long term growth. Today's guest, Greg McCall uses an investment framework that looks for winners by scoring them according to their monopolistic tendencies (makes sense, right?).

In this episode of Tradestreaming Radio, you'll learn: *the insider's view of how equity investing works *why monopolies make compelling investments long term *which industries/companies should outperform *about Greg's investment scorecard he uses to judge stocks Thanks again for joining us on Tradestreaming Radio, where we discuss technology, tips and techniques to becoming a better -- more accurate -- investor.

How many times have you looked at a certain investment situation and just wished you had better insight into how future events would play out? As investors, we always want to improve our intuition and when you speak to great investors, you get a feel that they just get the trade. They just seem to know where things are headed. Jason Apollo Voss is one of those great investors and as co-portfolio manager of the Davis Appreciation and Income Fund, he smoked the market. Retired at 35, he's written a book to help investors improve their intuition using both sides of their brains. The Intuitive Investor: A Radical Guide to Manifesting Wealth is Voss's major contribution to the conversation. Let me say this -- you will not meet another great investor who's developed such a methodology. That's why I was so excited to talk to Voss. Expand your mind. Learn something out of the box.
