Grant's Interest Rate Observer is an independent, value-oriented and contrary-minded journal of the financial markets. We publish 24 times a year. Our mission is to identify investment opportunities in a range of markets at both extremes of valuation, high and low alike. A typical 12-page issue is likely to contain a long idea, a short idea, a macroeconomic comment and a monetary or credit analysis (and, of course, one of our famous cartoons). Without bragging, we like to think that we are the financial-information medium that least resembles CNBC.


James Grant originated the “Current Yield” column in Barron’s before founding Grant's Interest Rate Observer in 1983

He was a long time panelist on Louis Rukeyser’s “Wall Street Week” and has appeared on 60 Minutes, CBS Evening News, Nightly Business Report and Bloomberg TV.  

James Grant is a sought after speaker on finance and American history.  He is the author of four books on finance and financial history: Bernard M. Baruch: The Adventures of a Wall Street Legend (Simon & Schuster, 1983), Money of the Mind (Farrar, Straus & Giroux, 1992), Minding Mr. Market (Farrar, Straus & Giroux, 1993) and The Trouble with Prosperity (Times Books, 1996). A fifth book-John Adams: Party of One, a biography of the second president of the United States-was published in March 2005 by Farrar, Straus & Giroux.
