  • "I Fear Gold Will Hit $5000."

    Published November 08, 2010

    Strange thing for James DiGeorgia to say, considering the editor of "The Gold and Energy Advisor" newsletter stands to make a mint on that level. DiGeorgia called the level gold hit today: $1400 an ounce. Hejoined me exclusively today on "Countdown" to talk about the stampede into gold. In just the second quarter, demand for the yellow metal increased 77%. He's calling out the next level before $5000. When will that hit? And what of his love affair with silver?

    Published November 05, 2010

    Paul Bisaro runs the nation's 3rd largest producer of generic drugs in the U.S. and he says the healthcare law Congress passed has the potential to be a huge cost-cutter, especially if doctors and insurance companies push to use generics more. With extreme dissatisfaction running rampant over the past 10 years when it comes to the skyrocketing costs of healthcare, Bisaro, the CEO of Watson Pharmaceuticals [WPI]says the healthcare law is a start, and if it's tweaked----not repealed--- Americans will get what they need and want from healthcare.

  • Start-ups: Start Up Your Engines

    Published October 26, 2010

    There's a new fund in town, ready to sprinkle (or splash, depending on how good your idea is) money all over your best new company idea. Venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins, one of the most famous of all, has just announced it's got $250 million dollars to spend on the next best social networking company.

  • Congress Could Learn a Thing or Two from Kansas Governor

    Published October 12, 2010

    Governor Mark Parkinson (D-Kansas) has quite the claim to fame that many other Governors and members of Congress could stand to emulate: he's got a balanced budget, he slashed spending at the nation's first sign of economic trouble, his state has collected a tax surplus AND he's fighting successfully to keep jobs in his state by offering businesses incentives. How did he do it?

The rest is business history. Let this inspire you. The clip is below. --Liz [fbvideo 4362958]

    The man who led media giant and Dow component Disney through decades of growth, success and yes,significant turmoil joined me in an exclusive live interview today on Countdown to the Closing Bell. Michael Eisner, former chairman and CEO of Disney, air-dropped onto our set to promote his new book "Working Together" about successful business partnerships, but our conversation moved from the book to media companies and the challenges they face ("CNN needs 'pixie dust'") to the annoying but best-thing-out-there quarterly results companies have
