Amazing Q&A with Alan Greenspan
If you ever have the chance to see Alan Greenspan do an hour of improptu Q&A in front of any audience (in this case 500 business people in Denver), do it. I went to the AMG National Trust Bank sponsored event today at the Denver Art Museum titled “Art, Alan and AMG.” It was awesome.
AMG and the Denver Art Museum were superb hosts. Greenspan was amazing. He stood up for most of an hour and took random Q&A from the audience. His answers were cogent, direct, and powerful. It was fascinating to watch him think for a few seconds and then spit out a comprehensive, well articulated answer to question after question after question.
After fielding a few questions on energy policy and oil, someone asked him a random question about the middle east. Greenspan thought about it for about ten seconds and then succinctly stated “I don’t think I know enough about that particular issue to have a qualified answer.” That was – without a doubt – the most impressive moment of the day.
There are very few people that have enough confidence to respond to a question in front of 500 people that way. I expect Charlie Munger does, but the list gets short quickly. Greenspan won my heart and mind with that one.

Obama WILL make changes... but they're not the changes we as a country need or should look forward to.[/quote:3kaa8sg4]
Sad but this is exactly how I feel about it. Change is coming - but unless I'm really wrong, it is not a change this country needs. Amazing how much a good speaker with a good speech writer can do. If you paid attention to the things he said "off script" - much of it is frightening.

Reality Shows
- During the reality show mania, I've been trying to figure out why I can't stand the majority of the shows. But, I think Kevin's comments have put in words, why I hate most reality shows.
When the purpose of a show is to cheat, scam, lie and batter others, its very simply not my choice in television "entertainment". I did watch the last season of the Amazing Race and I was overjoyed to see the well behaved team won for a change.
On the Apprentice - imagine what the teams could accomplish if they kept the people who made the team better instead of scamming to eliminate the strong players. Sadly, some business people and others will act like that sort of behavior is how they should behave.

Re: All the Secrets to Getting a Lot of Traffic Using Google AdW
- [quote="Alan Mater":1hok1opa]Hi Zeke,
Thank you for this very informative post about PPC. I've done some homework and played around with PPC before. Made some money, but lost a bunch too. I will take your wisdom into consideration for my next campaign.
I do have a question. Currently I'm only using Google Adwords. I have heard that MSN provides better conversions due to the demographic and types of users. Would you mind sharing your insight and any experience on this?
Thanks,
Alan[/quote:1hok1opa]
Hi Zekell and Alan,
I just started a new campaign in MSN 2 weeks ago, since i heard the same rumor and I thought why don't give it a try too? So I am playing with it a little to learn and will love some good advice too.
