Inc., and The Baltimore Sun.
Bill has covered finance and investing, economics, manufacturing, the defense sector, biotechnology, and telecommunications. The companies he’s covered include Eastman Kodak, Xerox, Harley-Davidson, Caterpillar, Westinghouse Electric, Verizon, MedImmune, and Black & Decker.

With his award-winning reports on Kodak’s competitive travails, he consistently scooped his competitors in the national business media. His chronicles of Kodak’s turnaround efforts took him to China, Japan, Silicon Valley, New York, Washington, D.C., and even Hollywood.

The Most Successful Wealth-Building Move of All Time
Today, our Bill Patalon is going to talk about something he calls the "Paradox of Wealth." And it applies perfectly to the "Infection Correction" – the term he coined for the coronavirus-fueled selloff that's wiped away trillions in shareholder wealth over the last few weeks. And it'll likely get worse before it gets better. But as we've been telling you, that's not a reason to panic. Just the opposite, in fact – thanks to the Paradox of Wealth – because big selloffs can be your biggest long-term wealth-building opportunities. What will set you apart from the masses is making deliberate moves in times like these that will be best for the long run.
