Dan Cofall — Midwest native–turned-Texan Dan Cofall is more than a gun-loving, Federal Reserve–loathing, central bank–despising, big government–detesting, motorcycle-riding gold bug. He also hosts The Wall Street Shuffle on CNN 1190 AM—the place for compelling conversation about the day’s financial news. Cofall, who earned a BBA in Accounting and Finance from Notre Dame and an MBA in Finance and Real Estate from Southern Methodist University, began his career at Ernst & Young before working as Director of Finance for the Coca Cola Bottling Group. Cofall later co-founded BrightStar Information Technology Group, successfully spearheading the company’s IPO in 1998, and currently serves as Co-Chairman and Chief Financial Officer of NorAm Capital Holdings, Inc., one of only seven public companies in the debt-management business. Cofall, a Professor of Finance at the University of Dallas Graduate School of Management for more than 13 years, is also the Managing Director of Square Rock, Ltd., a company he founded in 2004 to provide financial advice to U.S.-based debt buyers. Cofall’s unmatched merger of experience and expertise—not to mention his plain-speaking style—make him the perfect market guide for seasoned investors and newly minted novices alike.
