Prince William County is full of talent. We have filmmakers and now an investment radio show will be broadcast from Prince William County. Many here know Prince William resident Bob Pugh. Bob is known around the blogs, he has served on various county committees and has even been known to give ’em hell at Citizens’ Time at the BOCS.
Bob will be the host of ‘The Insightful Investor’ on The VoiceAmerica Business Talk Radio Network. The first show premiers this Monday at 10 am. Jim Bacon will be his guest in October to discuss his book “Boomergeddon.”
Here’s some information about Bob:

We have discussed investment, finances and the economy often on this blog. It will be fun having our own local star from right here in Prince William County. We wish Bob all the best and if I can figure out how to tune in, will be doing so!
Congratulations on your new business adventure, Bob. Hopefully you will come on moonhowlings and let us pick your brain after the show airs!
It’s nice to have a PWC celeb.
Moon – thank you for the announcement! The show will be national but I’m glad to have as many of our friends and neighbors in this area listening as possible.
I’ve been at the CFA Institute’s Leadership Conference downtown since Thursday. We took advantage of having some of our international investment colleagues in town to prerecord two one-hour shows on global investing that will air October 4 and 11 featuring discussions of global portfolio diversification and investing opportunities in Europe, Asia, Latin American and the Middle East, as well as the outlook for oil prices. The premier show is this Monday and Jim Bacon will be the guest on October 18 to discuss his new book, “Boomergeddon.” Listeners are welcome to call in or email questions during live shows.
