Dissecting the Most Dominant Driver of Commerce in the Last Half Century

There may be observers who know the technology industry better than veteran journalist Eric Savitz, but there aren’t many.

Eric worked at Barron’s Magazine as an investment and technology reporter for 24 years — spread over three stints. He began there in October 1988, honing his craft under the direction of the legendary editor and columnist Alan Abelson.

In this wide-ranging conversation, you’ll hear Eric’s views on successful investing in technology stocks, what errors to avoid, and what opportunities still exist for tech startups.

Since July of this year, Eric has assumed the position of corporate editor-in-chief of General Motors. As he explains, these days, under the hoods of cars and trucks, consumers will discover sophisticated chips and computers worthy of the best technology companies.

Whether you’re an investor, a business owner, or a journalism buff, this is one conversation you’ll want to pull to the curb to listen to closely and take notes.  

​Monday Morning Radio is hosted by the father-son duo of Dean and Maxwell Rotbart.
