An effective and widely recognized investment advisor, Arnie was named one of the "best financial advisors" in the country by Worth magazine for five consecutive years (1996-2001).

He has also been a regular guest expert for various television and radio stations including Bloomberg Television and Radio, WCCO Radio, KARE-11 Television and KTIS Radio, and Fox News Channel Television.
