In this episode, Rusty and Robyn talk with John H. Crawford, Managing Director of Equity Investments, and David Gilmore, Senior Equity Analyst at Crawford Investment Counsel. Having been with the firm since 1990, John works closely with equity research analysts on stock selection and portfolio policy for all equity strategies.
