You must be kidding. That is about the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. I thought a Ferret was some kind of little animal. Surely you are putting me on. BTW, still trying to clean up the CSCO thread. Message 13651499 They want nice ... I will give em nice. Monty

I think SIBob is sweet on her. And the newsmedia do read these boards, so I think they want to "put their best foot forward." I read a post on the IDCC board, one poster has a pro-IDCC website, and he was saying it's been visited by numerous investment companies. Message 13621299 But I did like that post, remember I gave it a perfect 10?Someone saved it, but I can't find it anymore. Whoever did, please PM me with the URL.

about a month ago I was reprimanded by the SI Police for referring to Bartiromo as "The Ferret." You're kidding, right?

They do not want Gizzard Lips to be badmouthing GNET in any shape, form or manner. It is that simple.

We know about that post of yours. You made our day on this thread. I suspected that SI Police will raid the thread and remove that post on the CNBS thread, which they did. Never fear, a backup copy exists here! ---------- Message 12717436 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.

Here is another one preserved by SI's sanity preservation society! -g- ---------- Message 12717449 Mark, All I'm saying is, if CNBC wants cheerleaders on the NYSE floor, at least get someone entertaining down there. Ok, a constructive suggestion...here we go...CNBC, I hope you're taking notes, this is a perfect co-branding/co-marketing deal...call Lorne Michaels (SNL Producer) at your sister network NBC, ask him to "borrow" Will Ferrell and Cheri Oteri, the two SNL actors who play the wannabe cheerleaders in the recurring Saturday Night Live skits. Have them tutor Maria for a few weeks. As well, get the SNL writers to insert a little comedy into Maria's daily schtick. That would make it entertaining for us ALL. I can see the new-and-improved Maria, in cheerleading attire, now: "DOWN-grade! DOWN-grade! Your stock's gonna FALL! SELL SELL SELL before the margin CALL!" "POUND the table, POUND the table, make the stock ROCK! Gotta get it over my strike price be-fore 4 o'-CLOCK!!!" "Triple wit-ching, triple-witching makes me GLAD, out-of-the-money options will be SAD, once Morgan Stanley puts the words in my MOUTH, your options will SOON be going SOUTH!" "Two-four-six-eight, your stocks are down but I make you masterbate!" Of course, it goes without saying that I am not being nasty, rather, if I was indeed being nasty, that is what I would suggest.
