Got Juice?
Well it’s that time of year again. The flowers are starting to bloom, the temperatures are warming up, baseball fever is starting and crop progress reports are too.
A quick story to tell you from last week in media land: I am not a baseball fan, sorry to say, but there I was at Fox News last week, doing my second interview of the day — this one with Cavuto. Anyway, I sat in the green room with this big guy sitting across from me. His girlfriend and an even bigger, massive guy were there also. I had no idea who they were. As I said, baseball falls far down my list, next to croquet and bowling. I am a hockey guy.
Anyway, on the green room TV, they were talking about gold. All of a sudden, this guy asks the bigger guy, “How can we invest in gold?”
My ears perked up, and I said, “You can talk to me.” They both suddenly looked up at me and I felt a little intimidated. The first guy and I started talking, and I told him why I was there, about RTA, why gold has been going higher, etc.
I gave him one of my Maniac Trader business cards, which he liked a lot. He said he might call me if he wants to learn more about gold. I said, “Sure, great. Take care,” and then the three of them left. I never did get their names.
All of a sudden, one of the producers came up to me and said, “Do you know who that is?”
“Ah, no,” I said.
“That is Jose Canseco.”
I must have looked kind of blank, and then I said, “Oh, he is a baseball player, right?”
The producer said, “Ah yes, that’s right,” in a sort of “man, you are an idiot” tone of voice.
Anyway, the guy went on with Cavuto and was grilled about his new book. At one point, Cavuto said he thought Canseco was going to come over the desk at him. I thought so too.
Meanwhile, the other big guy was not his bodyguard. He was his lawyer. Looked like he had had a little of the magic steroid juice too. Now, that’s the kind of attorney I need. Maybe if my attorneys looked like the Hulk and were on steroids, I could get my regulatory applications for my funds done sooner, rather than the months on end it is taking. Maybe I can do a trade with Canseco and get some steroids for my lawyers and accountant, if I give him advice on gold. I will keep you posted. Here is a link to the video of the interview with Cavuto that was shot right after I talked with him. I swear he looks like he is going to beat Neil up – you can see it here.
And if you want, in the video search box, just type “Canseco” and look for the April 2 interview featuring Canseco. Enjoy
