I have enjoyed and found valuable "Mad Money" since its inception, and I will continue to watch
Since I feel we are friends (this helps your Q rating (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q_Score)), I want to offer you some advice
First, drop the segment of you talking to the Big Shots, because it is out you can be had
Just as you say so often it is about making money, not friends, the same holds with the Big Shots' attitude toward you
Dropping this segment of your show is necessary, as you did with the old "Pimping Around the World" segment where you sent newbies into exotic stocks and foreign markets (remember your darn noddle segment :biggrin: ), so discarding this segment is nothing to be ashamed of, unless you continue
Therefore, fold this segment, dear friend...This could hurt your Q's
Okay, next this bail out you are screaming about
If your daughter rushed you, screaming, "DAD, DAD, I, I GOT TO HAVE THIS WIDGET--IT WILL SAVE THE WORLD--DAD, DAD, DAD, COME ON!!"
Dear Jim, please tell me you would tell her to slow down, take a deep breath, and let me read the small print for myself and not what the screaming news chatter is screaming, because the sky is always falling for them
Would you let your daughter succumb to the screaming car salesman on TV?
You are lucky in you have the legal and financial background to understand the small print , as well having a staff to help
You are rightfully always warning us to vet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vetting) (do homework) on a stock, but I never got the feeling you vetted this 109 page bill conceived in less than a week to solve something building for at least 3 years
Instant solutions are dangerous and vagueness only adds to the potential problem
You rightfully argue we should diversify, so shouldn't we, instead of one super dooper bill, have more targeted bills precisely aimed at specific problems? Do you really trust open ended bills full of vague points, that while helping today, could turn on us as exactly what was in the bill gets out
Again, I really like your show and only make my points out of respect to you as a Reality Check, for someone in your position can so easily get sucked in by sycophants with titles and positions
Sincerely,
