Fast Fires

[kphannon]

I don't know about any of you but I am feeling like just about this entire Desk with the possible exception of Seymore and Terranova should be fast fired for calling a short term top at 830 with "a retrancement to 790". This was certainly Macke and Adami's view (about two months and 150 SP points ago) and they have been discounting every move up since them. I am particulary getting tired of Macke's rants about how nothing makes sense, the game is rigged, blah blah blah. He seems to do nothing but look for short term technical ranges to buy and sell popular names such as MS or GS. This is not research or even worthy analysis. At least Adami admits that he was wrong when the market moves up rather than Macke revising history. The show to use one of the show's own popular phrases is getting "long in the tooth" particulary with Melissa Lee orchestrating the debate in her own bland flirtatious way. Bring back Straz, Bolling, and especially Ratigan!

Ratigan isn't coming back. Starting on MSNBC June (or July)29th or there abouts. Too bad. I read him and the producers didn't see eye to eye on content. Also hinted that they tried to muffle him.

Fast Money should just be taken off the air. They have turned into a horrible show. Pretty much inline with the entire channel. Ratigan gone, Macke almost never there, and now we don't see much of Karen Finerman.

But we do get Seymour, and the apparent new star Joe Terranova. We also get the god awful "Fast Money halftime report" complete with a countdown clock to tell us how soon the grand pumper Terranova comes on to tell us to buy everything and anything under the sun. We see WAY to much of that guy.

I always thought Ratigan, Macke, and Finerman told it like it was. At least better than the others. Now we don't have any of them. Seems like a grand plan from the network to continue the morphing the channell from news and stock advise to the financial version of Jerry Springer and ESPN.

Fast Money used to be my favorite show. Now I hardly watch it. Can't stand it, and most of the people on it. The other pumper extrodinaire Steve Grasso has even been on the show. Can't stand him either. Sorry CNBC, I don't need a bunch of people telling me to buy, buy, buy. That's what Cramers for.

Pathetic network sporting the likes of those listed above along with Dennis Kneale, Michelle Cabruso Cabreara, Mel Francis and the ultimate blowhard Kudblow.

Mute and Bloomberg have become positions - probably better for my trading as well.
