You're very welcome. It was deserved, or I would not have said it. Please pass on my thanks to Alina Cho for calling the Marines, Marines, and NOT Peace Keepers. I also sent an E-Mail to Fox and asked them to stop calling the Marines Peace Keepers. This may seem minor, but our poor military is so beaten up, that putting a label like that on them is a slap in the face to all of the men and women who are willing to put their lives on the line for the USA. CNBC is on all my TV's all day so I can follow you from room to room. Thanks R

Ted, What is the possibility that a CNBC reporter could investigate who is spreading the rumors about "a hedge fund going bust..." CNBC has reported several times that there were rumors that Tiger Management was in a liquidity crunch, and this rumor is/was having an effect on the market simular to Long Term Capital Management last fall. Tiger Mgt says this is totally false. If it is, I would think the S.E.C. would be interested in cracking down on whoever is spreading these untrue rumors. I would also think it would be great fodder for a CNBC reporter to look into. Tracking down the source of the rumor shouldn't be that tough, so wouldn't it be an interesting segment for someone like Faber to identify the source of the untrue rumor and finger them as far as what their motive was? As an investor, I think that would be very interesting. I know that if I spread untrue rumors to manipulate a market that I had a material interest in, the S.E.C. would crack down on me in a NY minute. Maybe a CNBC reporter can give the S.E.C. a little "nudge." Gary

Ted, PLEASE have CNBC make a correction. Tyler called GoTo, go2net (GNET). Later Tyler pointed out that GoTO has no profits and may never have them. This should not be confused with GNET (go2net) who does have profits, a split coming, and record earnings (they make money). CNBC should state GNET (go2net) has profit and GoTo has zip, fair is fair. Yer pal BLUE

Ted- Just watched your interview of options "expert" Schwartz. Do you think he actually looked at stock imbalances this am? He claimed they were mostly "takeover stocks, and the rest were probably daytraders positions." Just to give you a few examples of the imbalances: JNJ sell 285,000 PEP sell 386,400 DD sell 300,800 T sell 767,600 MRK sell 590,500 XON sell 577,500 LU sell 649,200 KO sell 545,500 C sell 305,300 IBM sell 400,400 I could go on, but you get the picture. Looks like there were some index-related positions being unwound to me-what do you think? Unless you know some daytraders who had some size to get rid of. I'd like to know what Mr. Schwartz's explanation for the huge volume on the open this morning was. Thanks for letting me vent. IJ
