Ted, any chance of seeing "The CNBC Beach House"?

Why not move everything out to the Hamptons for a week?

Remotes = great TV.
Remotes with thong bikinis = really great TV.

Think of the possibilities:

I see Mark Haines in old-fashioned (circa 1910) bathing trunks sitting in up in a lifeguard's chair. Cramer's next to him wearing a big-old straw hat. You have Faber and Kernan out past the breakers hanging out on surfboards (and for the rest of the day, Joe's out there with a laptop on the end of his board giving reports).

Sue and Felicia are in nice floral print one-pieces (with the festive "flower behind the ear" look). Amanda Grove's wearing a sarong-bottom with a tasteful bikini top (with multiple bead-necklace accessories). Maria B. is flying a plane with a banner that reads "We've got a rally on our hands, folks!"

For some reason, Kevin McCullough and Bill Griffeth - they also have the circa 1910 bathing wear going on. You and Ron - more the dark- blue J. Crew trunks.

Kate Bohner does her reports from a hot tub wearing shades and sipping a frozen strawberry daquiri.

"The Boys" are out by a gas grill doing some serious barbequing (Larry's got the apron on; Bob's sporting the white chefs hat).

Alan Chernoff does his reports from a moving roller coaster (do they even have those out there?) and Rene San Miguel does his from a video arcade (which really isn't that far from what the made-for-TV NASDAQ site actually is).

You have the bears v. bulls beach volleyball. Acampora, et. al. v. Abbey Joseph Cohen, et. al.

Chicago-futures v. New York-cash tug-of-war in the sand.

Occasional shots of Michael Metz combing the sands with a metal detector.

This would be WAY COOL!

Please do what you can on this <g>

Thanks,

Tom
