Grant’s Interest Rate Observer is an independent, value-oriented and contrary-minded journal of the financial markets, published 24 times a year. Its mission is to identify investment opportunities in a range of markets at both extremes of valuation, high and low alike. A typical issue is likely to contain a long idea, a short idea, a macroeconomic comment and a monetary or credit analysis and one of its famous cartoons.

James Grant originated the “Current Yield” column in Barron’s before founding Grant’s Interest Rate Observer in 1983. He is the author of five books on finance and financial history: Bernard M. Baruch: The Adventures of a Wall Street Legend, Money of the Mind, Minding Mr. Market, The Trouble with Prosperity and Mr. Market Miscalculates. Mr. Grant’s television appearances include “60 Minutes”, “The News Hour with Jim Lehrer”, “CBS Evening News”, and a 10-year stint on Wall Street Week. His journalism has appeared in a variety of periodicals, including the Finanicial Times, The Wall Street Journal and Foreign Affairs, and he contributed an essay to the Sixth Edition of Graham and Dodd’s Security Analysis.
