About
Wall Street Democrat gets to the heart of an issue, proposing common sense solutions.
Wall Street Democrat offers an alternative “take” on the events of the day, a counterpoint to loud voices on the left and the right that often dominate press coverage.
A life-long Democrat, Ryan O’Connell is a “Wall Street veteran” who spent his career on Wall Street, as a lawyer, banker, and investment analyst, focusing on domestic and foreign banks. His background has given him an unusual perspective on the interplay between politics, economic trends and the markets.
Ryan felt compelled to start his newsletter in 2015, just as the American political scene was entering a dark period. Wall Street Democrat believes in a pragmatic approach to free markets, free trade and a welcoming approach to immigrants.
