Well, that was interesting. Last night, I went along with son Andrew (SMI's esteemed webmaster) to visit with friend Hugh Hewitt, who was in town (Louisville, Ky.) doing his talk show for the evening. Hugh usually broadcasts from Southern California, and has (according to Talkers magazine) an audience estimated to be about 1.75+ million listeners who tune in at some point during the average week.
Hugh was in town for personal reasons, and was broadcasting from the studios of his local Salem Radio Network affiliate. The drawing card for us was not only a chance to visit with Hugh again, but to also connect with some Young Life friends who head up the YL outreaches in the UK — Tom and Ninie Hammon.
Andrew and I and our wives are friends and financial supporters of the Hammons, and always enjoy our visits to learn the latest about their efforts in England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales. Hugh had invited them to be interviewed on his program last night.
It was really Andrew's deal, but at the last minute he invited me to tag along. Thought it would be fun to see everyone, and also be in a radio studio again. As many of you may know, I was a regular guest on Larry Burkett's call-in program throughout the 1990s, and continued on with Howard Dayton for a few years after Larry went home to heaven.
The last thing I was expecting was to be on the air, speaking off the cuff, to a national audience. But that's what happened. On something of an impulse, Hugh asked if I would be willing to do a segment and talk a little about SMI as well as the market's wild behavior yesterday. No prep time, but being the seasoned veteran that I am, I foolishly agreed.
It was fun, went by quickly, and it wasn't until this morning that I began thinking of how I might have expressed myself better. So I decided to give myself something of a "do-over" and write all about it in the upcoming June issue of the Sound Mind Investing newsletter. Look for my editorial "What I Should Have Said" (working title).
If you'd like to hear what, in fact, I did say, you can listen to that below. The first two segments contain Hugh's interview with Tom Hammon. I believe you'll find it very interesting — Hugh, Andrew, and I sure did. Then I come along in segment three. Those segments cover a total of about 25 minutes.
In the midst of high unemployment and growing concern about federal spending, the stock market (despite yesterday's sharp loss) has been moving along very nicely, thank you.
Why? SMI's executive editor Mark Biller (right) discusses that question — and explains why it's so important to have a long-term investing plan — on today's MoneyLife radio program. Mark talks with host Chuck Bentley of Crown Financial Ministries.
