Charles Krauthammer and Wayne Rogers, our view is pay attention to them
I was recently speaking to a former Canadian professional hockey player about his mining company and the precious metals markets. After the standard company’s assets in the ground and cash position discussion, the conversation turned to business television. He told me that he had the pleasure of meeting with commentator, columnist and author Charles Krauthammer of Fox News at an investment conference. In our view, Charles Krauthammer is the most intelligent analyst and commentator on television so it came as no surprise that the retired hockey player felt the same way. He already knew that Charles was brilliant but what really surprised him was his knowledge of sports, particularly baseball.
A little history here; Charles Krauthammer attended grammar school in Montreal and graduated from McGill University. He later graduated from Harvard Medical School and is a licensed medical doctor. As well, he is bi-lingual. He is quite balanced in his views and generally speaking we find him to be absolutely correct approximately 99% of the time. Whether you are in Canada or the U.S., we suggest that investors pay close attention to his comments-he is that insightful and accurate.
Wayne Rogers is a regular panelist on Fox News Saturday morning “Cashin’ in” segment. You may recognize Wayne as a television (M*A*S*H*) and movie actor (“Cool Hand Luke”) with numerous television credits going back to the sixties. At the same time, he has been a successful investor and money manager for decades. What we find so appealing about Wayne is the fact that he holds nothing back in his comments; he calls a spade a spade. Recently, he described a U.S. politician in terms that we cannot put here as this is a family newsletter suitable for reading in places from Kindergartens to convents; but he sure hit the nail on the head. Aside from that, Princeton grad and U.S. Navy veteran Wayne offers excellent insight in his personal comments and his concern for what is going on. Just like Charles Krauthammer’s comments, Wayne’s should not be missed.
