For more than 15 years, Chris Markowski has imbued his vision of honesty and equality in hosting The Watchdog On Wall Street radio show. Each week, Chris explains the news coming out of the complex worlds of finance, economics and politics and the impact it will have on everyday Americans.

Chris Markowski’s history on Wall Street reads like a novel with suspense, intrigue, and corruption at the highest levels. Chris started his career by taking a job at an up-and-coming investment firm. Within two years, under his guidance, his initiatives helped increase sales by 1,500% and made the firm #2 on “INC Magazine’s” fastest growing privately held companies list. However, while working and spending significant time in the same water as some of Wall Street’s most notorious “sharks”, Chris discovered how corrupt Wall Street could be.

The fact that so many executives with fancy college degrees and glowing resumes had the capacity, with no remorse, to scam their customers and the public at large, was mind-boggling. The “respected” firm that he helped build was nothing more than an opportunity for insiders to get rich and investors to lose their shirts. Instead of accepting the culture of gluttony and deceit like many others on Wall Street, Chris went on to blow the cover off the charade, exposing the countless instances of lies, greed and manipulation. Chris exposed the villains and facilitated in bringing down the very firm that he helped build, sacrificing millions for honesty and integrity.

After that eye-opening, life-changing experience, Chris dedicated himself to making sure Americans received the truth regarding what was really happening behind the scenes on Wall Street; not the fabrications and half-truths that the big firms and financial media outlets were churning out on a daily basis. Chris’ task in “analyzing the analysts” has made him the chief thorn in the side of the Wall Street elite. Never afraid to take on a giant, Chris has gone head to head with the large brokerage houses, the dot-com scams, Enron, WorldCom and corrupt politicians. He has warned America about the largest scandals and corruption years before they made headlines. Always fighting against the lies, greed and manipulation that scarred him, The Watchdog On Wall Street has one singular concern & focus: To serve the American consumer & investor.

Something doesn’t feel right. And for once, I don’t want to be right.
We’ve seen this movie before: vague threats, foreign strikes, and both parties magically finding bipartisan unity—for about five minutes—before things go sideways.
This time? It’s Trump. And Iran. And nobody seems to know why.
  • Marjorie Taylor Greene’s statement hits a nerve: “I don’t know anyone killed by Iran. But I know plenty killed by fentanyl, by cartels, by criminals Biden let in.” Is she wrong?
  • Trillions spent abroad, while Americans can’t afford dinner at Chipotle.
  • Every influencer is twisting themselves into a pretzel trying to justify this—after spending years mocking Obama for “wag the dog” airstrikes.
Let's just ask, what are we gaining from this?

Scientific American confirms what we’ve been screaming for decades: Wall Street is run by monsters.
A Swiss research team gave psychopath tests to actual Wall Street stockbrokers—and guess who came out worse?
Brokers were:
  • More reckless
  • More eager to harm opponents
  • More obsessed with winning at any cost—even if it meant blowing everything up
They weren’t in it for the gains… they were in it to crush the other guy.but it seems like he got into newsy content around Aug 1? www.watchdogonwallstreet.com

The mission statements say “integrity.” The insiders say “insider trading.”
Chris goes OFF on the bloated, protected, untouchable Wall Street giants—and the government officials who keep letting them get away with it:
  • 28% of financial insiders admit their firms don’t put clients first
  • 1 in 4 say they’d break the law for $10 million if they could get away with it
  •  12 mega-banks now control 70% of the U.S. banking industry
We’re living with fewer banks, more corruption, and zero accountability. www.watchdogonwallstreet.com

Donald Trump takes aim at Fed Chair Jay Powell for refusing to slash interest rates, igniting a fresh clash over economic strategy. As Trump fumes on social media, Powell is caught in the middle of a weakening economy, stubborn inflation, and a dual Fed mandate. Who’s right? According to Chris Markowski, maybe both—but if Trump really wants lower rates, he might need to ditch the tariffs first. www.watchdogonwallstreet.com
