The Odd Couple of Investing

The Odd Couple of Investing (formerly Taking It to the $treet) is hosted by well-known investors Jim Lebenthal of Cerity Partners and Stephen Weiss of Short Hills Capital Partners. Viewers of CNBC’s most popular show, The Halftime Report, understand how odd a pairing this truly is. With vastly different personalities, professional experiences and investment strategies, Jim and Steve are truly an odd couple, always entertaining while providing listeners with insightful, candid commentary on stocks, markets and virtually every asset class. With no large organizations to please and no filter on their thoughts, their fundamental approach to investing cuts through the emotion, the hype and the conflicts of Wall Street research, highlighting undervalued stocks where you can invest to generate returns regardless of market direction.

Stephen Weiss has managed capital for legendary investors David Tepper, Steve Cohen and Lee Cooperman, and Cerity Partners CIO Jim Lebenthal has been the investment manager of choice for many wealthy families for over 30 years. CNBC Halftime Report regulars, Weiss and Lebenthal are entertaining, sometimes confrontational with differing investment styles but always informative, providing listeners with the knowledge required to become successful investors in any market environment.
