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

As we get closer to the inevitable fall upturn in H1N1 infections in North America, I believe it would be extremely valuable to begin gathering data on its potential effects on business.  Will people fly less, go out less, generate less commerce, download more iTunes, rent more NetFlix and shop more online? Or are they going to simply go on with their lives as usual?

I can and will generate a bunch of surveys to get to these answers – starting with the following big question?

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!
