Ms. Tavakoli found our site recently and contacted me about Elizabeth Warren. We decided to present one of Janet's recent media appearances. It's a rather long clip but quite interesting nonetheless. It's from an April 19th interview on C-Span with Brian Lamb.
Janet Tavakoli is founder and president of Tavakoli Structured Finance, a Chicago-based firm that provides consulting to financial institutions and institutional investors. . Her new book is called "Dear Mr. Buffett: What an Investor Learns 1,269 Miles from Wall Street." Its the story of her meetings with Warren Buffet prior to the economic downturn and how that impacted the way she views investing. She is a former adjunct professor of derivatives at the University of Chicago's Graduate School of Business. She has also worked for Westdeutsche Landesbank in London, Bank One in Chicago, Merrill Lynch, PaineWebber, and Bear Stearns.
