Previously, Hanlon has served as the C.O.O. and Chief Domestic Strategist at Euro Pacific Capital, as the President of Unfunds, Inc., and as Vice President of Investments and Syndicate Manager with Sutro & Co. He started his career as a research assistant on the international desk at Oppenheimer in 1993 while completing his studies of political science at UCLA.
In addition, Mr. Hanlon is the past-Editor of the Unfundamentals Market Newsletter, a current member of American Mensa, a founding investor in Red County Magazine and was on the budget task force of Bill Simon, 2002 Republican candidate for governor in the state of California.

By Chip Hanlon | 11/03/09
In what can only be described as a tremendous boost for Chuck DeVore and his bid for the GOP Senate nomination in California, tonight he picked up the endorsement of the Senate's leading conservative, Senator Jim DeMint.

By Chip Hanlon | 11/02/09
On top of David Bahnsen's article here about the per-job cost of the President's $800 Billion stimulus package, I thought I'd pass along this little lovely about the true cost of Cash for Clunkers, in case you missed it. Auto industry research firm, Edmunds, says the program actually cost $24,000 per car! In summary: the administration loves to tout the 690,000 vehicles sold in July and August, but the Edmunds report says that only... read more »

By Chip Hanlon | 10/31/09
That's right, it's farewell, Dede. Reports like this one are now circulating widely: NRCC Pulling Out of NY-23?
