R.E.B., agreed. The briefcase indicator was sort of funny the first time they ran it months ago, but the joke's getting waaay too old. They spend so much time talking about it lately, that I am starting to think they actually believe it to be an actual economic indicator. The hole Fed schtick was getting so tired, I actually enjoyed Power Lunch yesterday...simply because it was void of dart-throwers and seuth-sayers trying to read Alan Greenspan's mind. Actually, the Silicon Valley road trip has been interesting, although I have no idea what Mr. Memory (or whatever that guy's name was) was doing on the show...that crap belongs on Oprah. Sometimes I think Bill Griffith would be more comfortable as a co-host on that chick show "The View." You know, he could do non-stop book reviews, "cool websites," and interview guys like Mr. Memory. Maybe they could bump that airhead blonde chick (the one Sat. Night Live always slags) and give Griffeth her slot on the show. Did everyone catch Johnny Bench slagging Faber on Squawk? Bench said something like "I think David pulled a hamstring when he was 6 yrs old and never recovered from it," or something like that...you could tell Faber was pissed. It was pretty funny. Oh and how about Ron yesterday around 3:30 EST when the mkt was selling off after the Fed announcement? I like Ron, but when the market is selling off, he goes spastic with joy. He was practically trembling, like he had just downed a 6-pack of that Jolt cola caffeinated stuff. When we hit down 100, I fully expected him to stand up and proclaim "I am Cornholio!" like that Beavis and Butthead skit. Like I said, Ron does a great job 95% of the time, but he is out of control when the market goes into a tailspin.
