I give Ambrose Evans-Pritchard an honorable mention as well! He was awesome on the Euro crisis recently and seemed to really nail important and salient details a lot of people miss.

Btw, for the record there was a murder at the Oakland Occupy camp. The Occupiers have tried to distance themselves from it, but it was on their camp nonetheless. http://www.mercurynews.com/occupy-oakland/ci_1931...
It was big news when the police tried to break up the encampment but it hasn't been big news when some was murdered on the camp.

I feel like Jon Markman has a lot to say, he should possibly have his own podcast. Great information from Jon for sure, but I definitely get information overload everytime I listen to him. To be honest the confidence he puts in Gemini 252 makes me more nervous then confident. Maybe its the contrarian in me, but anytime someone is so gung-ho about something it makes me more nervous then excited. I still appreciate Jon Markman on the podcast, but wanted to throw my thoughts out there. Anyone else feel the same way?

Hey Andrew and Tommy G.,
Simple answer to your question as to where to fill up your Natural Gas car, just fill it up at home! Same gas that your dryer, stove, and hot water heater uses. The system is called the Phill: http://www.impcotechnologies.com/fuelmaker.asp Also Honda is still selling their Natural Gas Civic: http://automobiles.honda.com/civic-gx/

I've been listening to Andrew's podcasts for about 2 years and his interviewing style has never changed. It should be no surprise to anyone who listens to the Disciplined Investor as to how the interviews are going to be conducted. I appreciate the way Andrew interviews because although the questions can be long, yes, Andrew direct the guests towards the topics we are interested in. A lot of times interviewers let their guests kind of expound on whatever the guest feels like, and although its interesting, I find that the guests thought often times come back to 1. selling their book or to 2. reiterating points they are already well-known for. By directing the guest I feel that we can get a second or third opinion on issues Andrew is focused on which is good for our information diversification. Also I find it interesting when Andrew pins down guests on calls about the market that they may have never made before in a public way.
Thanks for this free and very informative podcast Andrew!

I second John's comment. Andrew, yes you are correct that you cannot use data and talk at the same time. But you are incorrect in that you can still text and talk at the same time with CDMA.

Also I do disagree with you Andrew on the importance of talking and using data at the same time. I with John agree that texting has surpassed talking and that often times trying to talk and use your data connection is not convenient anyways. Randy I see the global issue as a non-issue, most people don't travel abroad in the US and even less people will pay the exorbitant rates to use their phones when abroad.

What I think is much more important then talking and texting at the same time is how bad AT&T's service is. I have not met one person (before hearing from you Andrew) that is happy with AT&T's service. It is only due to people's loyalty to Apple that I think AT&T even has customers. I see a lot of people who are on Sprint and T-mobile switching over to Verizon now, and maybe even people from AT&T buying a new iphone to switch over to Verizon. What may hurt that switch in my opinion is people's dislike for the Iphone 4G. If somehow there was a Iphone 3G on CDMA then Verizon would really be gaining in my opinion. Thats my 2 cents anyway.

Hey Andrew, I respect you a lot and appreciate all the work you put into the podcasts but your comment that taking ethanol up to 20% in our car engines will corrode them is patently false. We already have 10% ethanol in a lot of the gas already pumped in the US. All cars built after 1985 are built to handle ethanol in the fuel mixture. Ethanol is corrosive to old cars built with natural rubber seals. Modern cars have coatings that protect all the seals and components from any damage that ethanol would have caused. Only cars built before 1985 will in any way be affected by ethanol.

Ahh thanks so much for this podcast! Robert V. Greene was awesome, I felt like for the first time I've actually heard some useful details about the FinReg bill! Also always great to have Kevin on for the educational segments, they are greatly appreciated as im a pretty green investor, I learn so much every time. Thanks guys!

Hey Andrew,

So I think Im one of the few people who enjoyed the episode, I guess I don't mind chair-throwing. It was fun, not as educational as usual, but we have 150 other episodes for that.

What I took away from it is actually a good amount.
1. People who write articles on websites, newspapers, and magazines are actual people, people who may have agendas, poor education, or poor philosophies. Tha'ts why I always believe in reading as much as you can. Try to get a balance if you can.
2. Both Tim and Jim have some truth to what they are saying about each other, and some not truths. It just speaks to me how people are just people! Including well-known people who run websites, write articles,etc!
3. Tim, self-avowed in your face guy. This doesn't bother me, thats his style. Also I love what he is trying to do. He himself grew a lot of money out of little on a scale that is relevant for most people investing today. I think people do need to be told about his experience. I am really intrigued by his ideas, I think they are great. I do wish there were other ways for us poorer people to make reasonable returns without necessarily having to go the penny shorting route. Anyone have any ideas on that? Whats always been a contradiction though to me Tim is that as bad as penny stock promoters are, and as bad as the penny stock companies are, you can't hate them too much can you? Without penny companies and promoters you wouldn't have been able to make all the money you did, would you? Even though you are contrarian, don't you still rely on the promoters nevertheless? They still seem to part of the hand that feeds you.
Just a thought, I still respect what you do.
4. Jim to me represents the old world of investment news. His resume speaks highly of him, but he didnt do his due diligence. And lets be honest, Jim got pointed out on these articles where he made mistakes, but I think that there are many more even well-known people have probably done the same thing and written articles without doing enough research on it, who did not get called out. I think even if Jim did nothing wrong, I disagree with his 10-day growth screener in the current environment. People have philosophies that work in some environments and not in others; but the most common denominator is that people don't change their philosphies with the changing environment. Thats why its really hard to believe a lot of peoples outlook, and again you have to read around.

Again, Andrew thanks for this podcast and as grating as it was, I definitely took something from it.
