bartiroma******* MASTERPIECE****** i take all responsibilities for re-posting this. To: SI Admin (Bob) (4327 ) From: Gary M. Reed Friday, Jan 28 2000 2:19PM ET Reply # of 4407 Bob, With all due respect, it was in context. Nasty? I hardly think so. If I wanted to get nasty, I would've foregone the comparisons to a squeeky annoying mammal commonly featured in Budweiser commercials. Instead (again, if I wanted to be nasty), I would've referred to Maria as a self-absorbed airhead with a great agent. I would've said she bases her entire presentation based on the top 10 stocks she gets emails about from her admiration society. I would've said she uses the Clinton method in preparing her "on the floor" reports...stick your finger in the air and see which way the wind is blowing. Those top 10 stocks will never get bashed by Maria, regardless of their fundamentals or the real story, for she is more interested in catering to her fawning group of 24-year olds who haven't had a date in years, but own 75 shares of Dell Computer and 20 shares of AOL, yet call in religiously to her "Buy-Sell-Hold" segments. Of course, I'm not saying this, it is merely what I would've said had I wanted to be nasty, which I, of course, don't. Furthermore, I would've suggested that it would be appropriate for the CNBC producers to put her on the NYSE floor with a set of pom-poms and send her to one of those school spirit/acrobatic camps, since she is nothing more than a cheerleader. Could you see it? "Two-four-six-eight, who do we appreciate?!!! AOL!!! DELL!!! Buy those stocks, buy buy buy, sis-boom-bahh! Let's hear it FOLKS, ignore those fundamentals, rah rah rah!!!" Of course, I didn't say that, because I did not want to be nasty. I would've mentioned the permanent fish hook that certain analysts have permanently inserted in her mouth, for those special occasions when they need a mouthpiece to move a stock/index on expiration Fridays. Furthermore, if I wanted to be nasty (which of course, I don't), I would've made the observation that she'd better lay off the pasta, because CNBC surely doesn't keep her around for her brains. If I wanted to be nasty, I would've noted that if it weren't for her looks, she'd be selling fishing lures at the local WalMart. But, I digress. On a totally unrelated topic, I can't wait for the Super Bowl this Sunday. Can't wait to see what new wacky commercials the folks at Anheuser Busch have in store featuring Louie the Lizard and that squeeky-voiced, small furry mammal creature whose species cannot be mentioned on S.I.
