About The Editors  --->  Nick Lanyi | Carla Pasternak


Nick Lanyi
has spent 17 years researching and analyzing money-making opportunities for three of the most widely read investment advisory services in history. At Louis Rukeyser's Wall Street, Nick spent the better part of a decade as a core member of Rukeyser's trusted research team, covering the entire investment waterfront. Earlier, Nick refined his touch at Fidelity Insight, a leading mutual-fund newsletter . . . and wrote for the venerable general-interest financial newsletter, Personal Finance.

But it was working with Louis Rukeyser that Nick blossomed into the authority he is today. Louis Rukeyser was the first person to bring Wall Street to Main Street, via his pioneering television show that drew 10 times the audience of the likes of CNBC. And his print advisory was by far the most popular investment newsletter in history. During his priceless apprenticeship, Nick steadily rose through the ranks to ultimately supervise all investment research for Rukeyser's newsletter. He personally analyzed hundreds of companies and spent years specifically focused on high-yielding stocks and bonds.

Using Rukeyser's priceless Rolodex, Nick established working relationships with the all-stars of Wall Street. He interviewed dozens of top money managers and analysts. And he developed the rare knack for translating their often-arcane statements into plain English that the rest of us can understand and act on. If anyone was destined to inherit Rukeyser's skill at isolating Wall Street's few proven producers from a sea of riff raff, it was Nick.

Over the years, Nick has had countless extensive private conversations with virtually every prominent portfolio manager you could think of, including Bill Miller (Legg Mason Value Trust), Ron Baron (Baron funds), Will Danoff (Fidelity Contrafund), Harry Lange (Fidelity Magellan), Tom Marsico (Marsico funds), Bill Nygren (Oakmark Select) and Brian Rogers (T. Rowe Price Equity Income), among others. He has also interviewed most of the top bond-fund managers, including the two giants of the past 20 years: Bill Gross (PIMCO) and Dan Fuss (Loomis Sayles). These men and women are arguably responsible for investing more money than any other two people on the planet.

Nick also spoke constantly (and still does) with a number of top Wall Street strategists, including Rich Bernstein (Merrill Lynch), Tobias Levkovich (Citigroup), Tom McManus (Bank of America) and Liz Ann Sonders (Charles Schwab). The pronouncements of these men and women move markets . . . and hearing them straight from the source gives Nick an invaluable investing edge.

Naturally, Nick has been quoted in the Wall Street Journal, Boston Globe, Chicago Tribune, Bloomberg and Forbes.com. He has also appeared on CNN/fn and CNBC. We're tickled pink to have an expert of Nick's caliber on board our "editors' circle" here at StreetAuthority.
