For at least four decades now, Barron's has assembled some of the top names in investing every year for what we proudly call the Barron's Roundtable. Every January, the conversation fills many pages of our magazine, spread across two issues. There's always plenty to talk about but this year's Roundtable felt particularly momentous. The group of 10 prominent investors convened just days after the worst December for stocks since 1931. There was worry about things like debt, trade, tech disruption, and politics. In this special edition episode of the Readback, Alex Eule takes you inside the room for Barron's annual investor Roundtable. The Readback is a financial podcast from Barron's. Hosted by Alex Eule and produced by Mette Lützhøft. Lauren R. Rublin is managing editor, Roundtables and Special Projects, at Barron's. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
