Open Letter To Business News Network

Posted by Peter Grandich at 10:44 AM on Monday, November 9th, 2009

As one of the world’s premier financial networks who has clearly proven to be truly fair and balanced, I respectfully request you provide air time for me to debate Jon Nadler of Kitco regarding his claims made in this interview http://watch.bnn.ca/#clip232431 I believe the public comments made here and by Mr. Nadler for the last several years have been distorted, misleading and most importantly, have been proven wrong again and again and again.

The only two ground rules I request are:

  • BNN makes available past interviews of both of us on the air and our ability to show some of them and their results.
  • The moderator be either Kim Parlee or Howard Green.

I await your response.

George/Grandich Investing Workshop Update

Good morning to you all.  As many of you know, I hosted a speaker workshop on Sunday along with Peter called, “Learn To Use Blogs, Twitter and RSS Feeds To Make You A Power Investor” .  I’m happy to say the presentation was packed.  Standing room only.  What was it about?  Demonstrating how these social media tools can supercharge your market knowledge.  It was the initial step in teaching investors how how to use social media to cut through clutter, get the information you need directly to you and connect with the smartest people on the planet.

I gave a 15-minute presentation and then conducted a Q&A with Peter about his experience with this blog and Web 2.0 in general.  The audience also jumped in with about 10 great questions before we ran out of time.  As an old-school stalwart who now evangelizes the power of Web 2.0, I found Peter’s comments had a great impact because 95% of the audience have yet to adapt Web 2.0 – but they were convinced by the time we were done.

To this end, I want to thank everyone that attended and participated in the presentation.

SERIES OF WEBCASTS

It was so well received (even Peter was blown away) that I am going to create a webcast out of the presentation and re-broadcast it here, along with a series of short videos about how to use iGoogle, Twitter, Blogs and RSS Feeds.  If you don’t know what that means, don’t worry, you will and you will love it.

I am off to a second conference on the west coast, so look for the series to begin next week.

That’s it for now.  Catch you later.

Regards,
George
