When Is The Last Time CNBC Had This Kind Of Guest Record On Their Show?

Past performance is no guarantee of future performance – but it sure separates the men from the boys.  This is a screen shot of Peter’s appearance on BNN last week.  He may not toot his horn too much – but I sure will.  A lot of people talk the talk and then have selective memories – but the great thing about the web is people will help remind you.

I call this PYMWYMI - Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is – and nobody does it better than Peter.

Way to go Petey.

p.s.  I figured you needed a few gentle words now that your Giants are 2 games back of the Cowboys.

Earlier today, we proudly announced the launch of our online conference initiative.  We’re starting off that initiative with a bang via our first ever official online conference – The AGORACOM Online Gold and Commodities Conference.  Given the price of gold, oil and other commodities, our timing could not be better.

REASONS TO ATTEND

1.   Participate in a high-quality conference in which you get to watch presentations, interact with CEO’s / IRO’s and listen to great keynote speakers from home.

2.  Unbelievable keynote speakers (see below)

3.  That’s it ….

4.  … and it’s free  (Register here)

PRESENTING COMPANIES

The conference will focus on emerging small and mid-cap resource companies who will present by invitation only and are required to have demonstrated excellence through a combination of one or more of the following:

• Experienced management
• Proven reserves via 43-101
• Strong prospective projects via publicly announced drill results
• Balance sheet strength
• Imminent or actual production.

We are limiting the total number of presenting companies to 50.  Currently, over 25 companies have committed to the conference, leaving approximately 25 spots available.  Presenting companies will be active in industries that include precious metals, base metals, rare metals, oil & gas and clean energy technologies.

REASONS TO PRESENT

10.  Fill in the blank.  I am sure you have at least one great reason.

The Cambridge Conference is taking place this weekend and it will be as good as any given the state of commodity markets.  The line-up of speakers is the best you’ll find at any conference in Canada and you’ll get a chance to meet with a number of great companies face-to-face.  Peter Grandich, as always, will be a keynote speaker.  You will have several opportunities to see him throughout Saturday and Sunday, please consult the agenda to see his speaking times and topics.

DON’T PAY TO ATTEND

Cambridge House will now be charging $20 entry fee at the door (not a gimmick, this is real) - BUT click on this link or the banner below and use our code (AGT9) to get in for free.

Second, AGORACOM will be meeting with members at our booth (#1006) on both Saturday (1:00) and Sunday (12:00).  We will be drawing for cool prizes on the spot! Be sure to print off your profile page and bring it with you so you can enter the draw!

See you there!

Peter and George

“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 …

Here it is folks.  Thanks to everyone that submitted the multitude of possible show names.  I looked at all of them and narrowed them down to 5 or 6.  I’ve also taken  slight liberties with the names and tweaked them to make them search engine friendly.  In a day and age where search engines dominate our internet experience, specific beats generic.

Please find enclosed a link to the survey below.  We’ll close out voting on Wednesday night so that we can determine the winning name and have it iTunes/podcast ready for Friday’s show.

Thanks again and have  a great weekend.

Thanks and have a great day.

In terms of the long-term uranium market, I stick by my previous prediction: Demand
continues to out-strip supply and the medium to long-term outlook for uranium remains
very bullish.

As much as I hate to admit that he is so often right about matters pertaining to economics (and so often wrong about matters pertaining to Football), further support for Peter’s position can be found in a recent post by my friend and, more importantly, one of the world’s top 10 financial bloggers, Barry Ritholtz.  Barry posted a very important statistic from this report:

I hope you find the information to be helpful in your analysis of the junior Uranium markets.
