Barton Biggs was interviewed on Bloomberg TV. I would say he was knocked around by a no name reporter. First question was sarcastic "It's generally known that you have been bearish on the U.S. equity market for, well for a very long time, so when are you going to...Well as a former marine 'surrender' is probably not in your vocabulary...we're talking about a record on the Dow here...when are you going to give in" So Barton was back pedaling right from the start "I'd say that I have been both bullish and bearish about the U.S. markets during the last 12 months"...

reporter: "Well earnings are beating expectations, with about half of the S&P 500 having reported...IBM exceeded...Isn't there a good case to be made for U.S. equities"

Unfortunately on this post I can't add the tone of voice...but the reporter was sarcastic, driving in his tone...and spoke as much or more than Biggs. Not trying to hear what Biggs had to say. Not an even handed interview.
