Markets, Money and Life Show (Video) From The Floor Of The Cambridge Conference

Posted by AGORACOM at 3:34 PM on Monday, September 28th, 2009
Peter Has Gone From E-Mail To Blogging To Podcasting and Now YouTube.  Grandich 2.0!
Peter Has Gone From E-Mail To Blogging To Podcasting and Now YouTube. Grandich 2.0!

Good afternoon to you all and thanks to everyone that came out this weekend. The feedback we received from investors/visitors to this blog was simply fantastic and has only furthered our resolve to continue delivering great content pertaining to Markets, Money and Life.

To this end, please find enclosed our 2-part show which was taped this weekend from the floor of the Cambridge Conference.  It is in 2 parts because YouTube only allows videos up to 10 minutes, so part 1 is 9 minutes (hence, why you see me give the “chop” signal just before the 10-minute mark … remind me to beat our editor :-) and part 2 is 5 minutes.

The guys also needed time to come in and edit the video, which was especially difficult due to Peter’s demands that he look 10 years younger and a whole lot smarter … sorry Peter, we couldn’t get the Einstein hair to work :-)

The amazing thing about all this is that Peter Grandich has now gone from delivering his newsletter/thoughts via direct mail, e-mail, blogging, podcasting and now YouTube.   Talk about re-inventing yourself. Way to go Petey.

For those of you who are new to the show, click here for the archive, click here for the iTunes download, click here for the podcast page on SmallCapPodcast, where you can listen to each show.

Without further adieu, here are both parts of the interview. Yes, that is me wearing an Eli Manning Giants shirt. Peter is going to get it autographed and we are going to auction it off for his favourite charity.

PART 1

PART 2

This Week’s Show To Take Place Via Video From The Cambridge Conference On Saturday. Come Join Us

Posted by AGORACOM at 11:05 AM on Friday, September 25th, 2009

Hey, gang.  Please be advised that our Friday show is actually taking place on Saturday from the floor of the Cambridge Conference in Toronto (click here for your free pass as Cambridge is now charging $20 at the door) and you’re all invited to watch it live and participate.

We will be taping the show via video from the AGORACOM booth (#1006) at 12:30 PM sharp.  It should be a lot of fun and truly interactive, so make sure to come by to participate, meet Peter and abuse me over my Cowboys defeat last week :-)

For those of you who won’t be at the show, we’ll be posting the video to YouTube, this blog and a hundred other places.

Regards,
George

George and Grandich Debate The Markets Every Friday

Posted by AGORACOM at 4:05 PM on Friday, September 4th, 2009

George Head Shot VS.                    Peter Head Shot

You’ve been sitting by your PC all day, ignoring your dog, not responding to mom’s voice mail, starving from not having eaten and hitting refresh every 10 seconds to get your fix of our [as yet unnamed] show.  Well, kiss your dog, call your mother back and grab a sandwich because here it is baby! :-)   Response to last week’s show was so good that we decided to go at it again.  In fact, we’ve turned it up a couple of notches after being accused last week of – and I quote – “acting like two wwf wrestlers pretending to beat each other up, knowing you’ll be going fishing together tomorrow” (here’s a link to it).

I also want to thank all of you that contributed great comments.  Yes, we will be podcasting these shows (as soon as we finalize the name, see below).  No, we won’t change Fridays.  To this end, we want you to continue with your great participation on this blog and challenge either one of us.  If there’s one thing I’ve learned about running an online financial community, it is that all of you have significant untapped knowledge that I often benefit from.

With respect to all the suggested names for the show, look for a survey of the Top 10 suggestions that you can all vote on.

For those of you who are only seeing this for the first time and don’t know what I’m talking about, here is what we announced last week:

Peter and I have decided to produce a weekly audio show that will be aired on Friday afternoons.  For those of you who have heard us before, we can go at it pretty good.  This won’t be a weekly love-in where we are patting each other on the back and agreeing with each other.  Rather, despite Peter’s uncanny track record for calling macro markets and commodities, I’m going to challenge him based on the fact that past performance does not guarantee future performance.  We’re going to argue both sides of the ball and make sure you have the best information possible to make your most informed investment decisions possible.

In the meantime, here’s episode #2 and see you next week!  If you want to look at prior episodes, we’ve created their own category here on the blog.  Friday Night Specials

The George and Peter Show … OK, The Peter and George Show

Posted by AGORACOM at 5:40 PM on Friday, August 28th, 2009

George Head Shot VS.                    Peter Head Shot

I’m happy to announce that Peter and I have decided to produce a weekly audio show that will be aired on Friday afternoons.  For those of you who have heard us before, we can go at it pretty good.  This won’t be a weekly love-in where we are patting each other on the back and agreeing with each other.  Rather, despite Peter’s uncanny track record for calling macro markets and commodities, I’m going to challenge him based on the fact that past performance does not guarantee future performance.  We’re going to argue both sides of the ball and make sure you have the best information possible to make your most informed investment decisions possible.

To that end, we want you to continue with your great participation on this blog and challenge either one of us.  If there’s one thing I’ve learned about running an online financial community, it is that all of you have significant untapped knowledge that I often benefit from.

On that note, we’re also asking for your help on one very critical matter – naming the show.  So far, we’ve got these ideas but it’s early in the game and we’d love to hear from you.  As you can guess, the funnier (yet relevant) the better.

  • The Peter and George and Peter Show
  • The George and Peter and George Show
  • A Cowboy Trader & A Giant Killer
  • Friday Banter
  • Blog Talk
  • PYMWYMI Stock Calls (Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is)
  • ….. enter your idea here……

Until then, here’s episode #1 and see you next week!
