Prior to founding Kisco Capital, Mr. McCarthy held senior positions at two multi-billion-dollar hedge funds, where he acted as a trader and portfolio manager. Mr. McCarthy managed capital in adverse market conditions, including the post-tech bubble crash of 2000, the terrorist attacks of 9/11 and the collapse of the financial markets in 2008-2009. Managing risk in highly volatile markets is considered his specialty.
I was on the show to discuss earnings outlook on American Express and energy company Schlumberger.
