Good afternoon to you all and thanks to everyone who took part in our survey to name our Friday night specials. We had 342 people participate in the survey and we have the winner. I’ll let the numbers speak for themselves. ….
“Markets, Money and Life With Grandich and George” has a nice ring to it. I think the name also demonstrates the fact that investors here aren’t solely interested in money. Rather, they are interested in money as a component of their life. I like that. Speaks volumes. Making a buck is great, experiencing life is better.
Thanks to all for submitting suggestions and taking part in the survey. For all of you iTunes / podcasters out there, we’ll now be submitting the podcast to Apple for approval, which we anticipate having in the next 3-4 business days. We’ve even got the cover done …
Regards,
George

Any or all answers would be appreciated
If the gold rally is just getting underway, what would be a good entry point to add to positions of mining stocks and gold/silver?
If Silver is outpacing gold this year, why so much focus on gold vs. silver. I would have loaded up on SLV, for instance?
When would you expect inflation to pick up to a worrisome level, and is it priced into the precious metals market now?
What is the indicator for going short in the equities market?
For your “Life” topics section of your show perhaps you fellows might like to duke it out over universal health care vs the status quo in the USA?!
Even Prime Minister Mulroney is weighing in on the subject (see below) and I agree with his comments. It isn’t necessarily the nature of a conservative to reject the notion of Universal Health care for everybody in fact it is the compassionate thing to do.

Mulroney offers support to Obama in health care fight
Updated Thu. Sep. 17 2009 9:19 PM ET
The Canadian Press
MONTREAL — A Conservative prime minister has launched a stirring defence of universal health care, and lauded Barack Obama in his bare-knuckle political battle to extend benefits to all Americans.
The former prime minister drew parallels between Obama’s uphill fight to reform health care to his own struggles as prime minister, which may have cost him popularity but benefited the country.
“Political capital is acquired to spend in great causes for one’s country,” Mulroney said Thursday.
“Prime ministers are not chosen to seek popularity. They are chosen to provide leadership. . . President Obama is fighting for a form of universal health care and is encountering ferocious resistance.
“The attacks on President Obama are often bitter and mean-spirited and his approval ratings are sinking like a stone. Still, he fights on. . .
“Fifty years from today, Americans will revere the name, ‘Obama.’ Because like his Canadian predecessors, he chose the tough responsibilities of national leadership over the meaningless nostrums of sterile partisanship that we see too much of in Canada and around the world.”
The vast, crowded hotel ballroom went silent at that part of Mulroney’s speech. One woman was seen snickering.
Mulroney’s eagerness to take sides in the U.S. health debate was a stark and obvious contrast from Harper’s reluctance to touch that political powder keg.
He made the remarks before half of Harper’s cabinet — while the prime minister was in the U.S. after a meeting with Obama.
