Sparing with Ken Winans About Investments & Politics

Posted: November 18, 2009, 8:22 pm

Wednesdays are always fun for me because it's the day we interview Ken Winans on KKZZ AM 1400. Ken is one of the brightest investment advisors in the United States. He is also a senior economics correspondent for KNX radio in Los Angeles; a CBS affiliate. He appears on our show every Wednesday at 5 o'clock.

Today, we were discussing commodities because commodities are growing in value faster than other investment vehicles. Gold is at an all-time high price, $1142, up 55% for the year. It is one of a few investments that have recovered from all the 2008 losses. Silver, another commodity, is up even more than gold.

Ken also offered two "bargain" investments in teh healthcare industry: Baxter Internationa (ticker symbol BAX) and Becton Dickenson Co. (ticker symbol BDX).
