On Wednesday, October 30, Victor Flores joined Worth OnLine for "Conference Call," our live online chat show. Flores is portfolio manager for the San Antonio-based United Services Global Investors. As geologist/chief investment officer, he makes more than 20 site visits a year to find suitable stocks for the company's World Gold Fund and Gold Shares Fund. Year-to-date, Flores's U.S. World Gold Fund (which buys non-South African gold equities) is up 26.2 percent. Following is a transcript of the evening's event, edited for clarity.
