Yeah well, I hate the traffic reports on the Bob Grant or Sean Hannady <sp?> radio shows, and not only that, but those traffic reports are --- (are you ready for this?) --- OFF TOPIC! Yogi

Ted, So "experienced news executives" are "calling the shots", and "they are damned good at it" too? Really? Well, perhaps you are "too close" to them to make the best judgement about that. Would you like to make a huge bet that they would rearrange their priorities a bit if a republican and or conservative were president of these United States? Meaning, we would see and hear far less of Mr. Clinton if he were a conservative, and god forbid, not a democrat! How's the vacation going? I expect to see a nice tan when you get back! <G> Yogi

Ted, FYI: if there's a green arrow next to the quote for the euro and/or the pound, it means the dollar is down against them, not up. it's vice versa with the yen. regards, hb

What I would love to see is a discussion on how the FED gets M2 money into the system. I think a complete step by step process laid out for the small, unlearned investor may be of interests. I for one would enjoy knowing. Maybe you could take one of your shows, after the markets is closed, and do an article? Maybe CNBC Business Center ? Thanks in advance Hutch PS: Keep up the good work Mr David.

Hi Ted, I tape CNBC from 4-7:30pm then skip around and watch the parts that pique my interest when I get home from work. Great jobs you guys are doing. Would you please let Bob Pissani know I enjoyed his first part of "anatomy of a trade" which was shown today? And you are pretty funny Ted. Best wishes to you and the CNBC crew.

Ted, Excellent piece on trading on the floor. This is exactly the type of thing that informs viewers and demystifies "the market." We all ping on CNBC for this or that, but everyone here will probably agree that this is pretty cool (and unquestionably business-related!) Regards, Doug

Ted, We SIers have a special request if you could take it to programming. I think I speak for the majority here. We would love for you to interview the actors who played Stuart and Mr. P. on the Ameritrade commercial. This commercial is in heavy rotation and is far and away everyone's favorite plug on CNBC. Is there any way you could make this happen? It would be a ratings killer. IMHO Stuart and Mr. P. are funnier than the actors on 99 percent of TV sitcoms.

Ted, a couple quick points: 1. I know you, like me, are a huge fan of Art Cashin. CNBC needs more of him. Yes, I know he's on marketwrap, but I'm talking about market hours. A few months back I asked about getting him on Monday's (setting the tone for the week) in addition to his Wed. spots at 3 and 3:30. Yes, I'm secretly shooting for all five days for a, "Cashin' In" segment, but I'll start slowly. Any hope? 2. I'd like to enlist you as "the man" to start a crusade at CNBC to put a long, long overdue stop to the use of the term "going forward". It's making me crazy after nearly two years since it's arrival into the lexicon. I realize you can't stop guests from using this mindless term, but perhaps CNBC's own could drop it???? If you want nothing to do with either of these projects, I'd appreciate you forwarding this note to the proper producer(s). Thanks, BV

Ted David, I have not heard the following mentioned on CNBC, which I feel some or many of your listeners may be interested in. We all know the hype of the NAZDAQ and NAZDAQ 100 setting new highs, but I believe few realise that the new highs were basicly made on the back of one stock, QCOM. It was mention by another SI poster, OX, that every 100 point move in QCOM was about a 150 point move in the NAZ 100 index, which of course effects the NAZDAQ similarly. I dont have the exact figures, but my calculations show that QCOM makes up about 1.5%-1.6% of the NAZ. In the last 10 trading days the NAZ 100 moved from about 2600 to 2875(275 points), and QCOM moved from 225 to 400(175 points). Assuming QCOM's weighting of the NAZ-100 of 1.5% is correct, then that means that in the last 10 days during the move from 225 to 400(175 points), QCOM accounted for approximately 263 of the NAZ-100's 275 point up-move(96%). In the past we heard often how the market was moving on the back of fewer and fewer stocks, but I never thought that an index as important as the NAZDAQ-100 would move on the back of only 1 stock. If QCOM continues to do well that will be fine for the NAZ-100, but if QCOM loses 100-200 points that would not be so fine. Im dont think it is very healthy that so much is reliant on 1 stock, considering that a good portion the eurphoria right now is caused by the NAZ, and that the majority of the recent up-move in the NAZ was really on one stock. Again, I have not heard that mentioned on CNBC, but I and many of the viewers I speak to feel that it should be mentioned on CNBC as good reporting. seeya and thanks.

You guys/gals were riding VPHM pretty hard today? The company was founded by good pharma chemists. These are sincere scientists, trying to provide solutions for some pretty rotten diseases. Pleconaril has been used on a compassionate use basis in in patients with immune deficiency, neonatal enteroviral disease, polio, and enterovirus infections ass'd with bone marrow transplantation, among others. Both respiratory infections and viral meningitis are tough indications to "get" in clinicals. There are not a lot of effective anti-virals out there, for good reason. Seems like CNBC personnel were on a feeding frenzy today. The company is now valued at a premium to cash of $125 million. $125 million over cash. The trick to biotech valuation is to discount the science for time (to market) and chance of success. Given (1) that VPHM signed one of biotech's all-time best deals for hepatitis C virus with Wyeth-Ayerst, (2) that the HCV molecule is in phase I clinicals, and (3) the size of the HCV market, it would seem that CNBC analysts might profit from a focus on capacities going forward, and if pleconaril is indeed a bargain in the context of the drug development infrastructure (including RSV/Batelle), overall. Dr. McKinlay is a respected scientist who has been submitting his work for peer review since 1980. He has dedicated his research career to antiviral chemotherapy. I won't try to make a case for investment. While I am a primary online proponent for the company, I was not a shareholder at the open of trading today. By the close, I was. CNBC has done an excellent job of covering biotech for quite some time, and it is much appreciated by SI' biofreaks. Rick "not the gold bug" Harmon

Hi Ted, It looks as if you don't read these messages, but just thought I would mention that--as you probably know--the "someone" you quoted on the tube at the end of last week about the market decline was T. S. Eliot: "April is the cruelest month," from the first line in The Waste Land. If the decline resumes you might wish to change to "Do not go gentle in that good night."
