Mr. Snider is Chief Investment Strategist and Head of Global Research at Alhambra Investment Partners.

His current commentary focuses on the global implications of the ongoing monetary deconstruction including the failure of Federal Reserve and central bank policy. Mr. Snider is published nationally at RealClearMarkets, NewsMax, David Stockman's Contra Corner, and other places.
