Jon Stewart Gives Prophetic Financial Advice in 2000
As the economic meltdown has progressed, we've learned a lot about which experts got everything wrong leading up to the crisis, but did anyone get it right? As it turns out, someone did. Way back in 2000, right after George W. Bush was declared the winner of that year's Presidential election, Jon Stewart gave Daily Show viewers a financial tip, a piece of advice that had you followed you'd now be sitting pretty.
Just a joke? Yeah. Out of context? Sort of. But, in December 2000, gold was trading around $270/oz., and today, it's at nearly $950/oz. How did all that non-joke in-context financial advice you took turn out?

Rory- you're missing the point and it is clear you should stop using the Internet. Cramer came on the show and rolled over like a drunk prom date. That interview was a total waste of time. I would listen to JS, not because he knows what he's talking about. But because his brother knows what he's talking about.
Anyone know if Jon took his own advice? No? Hmm.
If a program is not available because of where you live, why not buy an anonimiser (?) program? Ten you can be from whereever.
Nice to have a broker or analyst with that kind of forsight Bar_Barian. For sure didn't think any of them would actually make a house call and present you with investment options.

I was primarily invested in AIG-FP until my broker came to my house unannounced one evening about 5 years ago and said "Something doesn't feel right with AIG right now… I'd like to move your invesments to precious metals"… I think I'll keep him
Loved what Stewart did to Cramer. Hadn't watched the show until then.
Lot of people discussing gold prices – Precious Metals still amongst the leading performance mutual funds as of last weekend.

JS – Hulu doesn't work in Canada either. Same thing. Yet another example of mentally retarded corporate policy & licensing agreements.
so somebody in Canada bought the rights to distribute it, which causes the Comedy Central Headquater to not be allowed to distribute it in Canada?
Canadians… you are not the only one's to have a beef with Comedy Central. Most of the time, I can't view the clips either, mostly because, despite all the time they spend making it look pretty, they don't provide the server space or use the sort of technology that allows for true streaming, such as YouTube.
My advice? Try Hulu. You have to watch commercials either way, but at least there you can watch an entire episode. I hope that works in Canada. Otherwise, this message is stupid.
ANON –
Now sell your Apple and …. BUY GOLD!!!
Hazmatt is right.
You might also consider food, ammunition and toilet paper…
