Ted, Although Maria is getting all the attention of the female commentators, I feel that Liz Claman is the best. She has the humor and personality of JOE and YOU, dont let it get to your head. gggggg She is quite neutral where Maria is overly bullish at times. If I have a comment on her reporting, I would like to see more of a DEVIL's ADVOCATE role from her, but at least she is neutral, not like MARIA. Have noticed that the men on CNBC play the DEVIL's ADVOCATE role more than the women, especially MARK, you and JOE. So if you dont mind, tell her that some of us thinks she HOT!gggggggg

re: your interview with Rick Santelli on Wednesday "Negative convexity" sounds suspiciously like concavity to me. -g- Seriously, though, it is nice when you guys tackle something complex on the air. If nothing else, it reminds viewers that they don't know everything. risk.ifci.ch Tom

Ted; You guys are missing the point on EMLX, you need to look at were it was early August, about the 7th..in 3 weeks this POS ran up from 45 to 110... for no reason I can see other than a likely short squeeze. So after the shorts get took out it's no wonder it takes a drop. It's just filling the gap up it made around Aug 7th.. Some one needs to look past the end of their nose. Jim

Ted, It's unbelievable to me how the normally well put together management of GE and NBC totally messed up with NBCi..... Having such policies in effect as "destroy your business"..... Incredibly stupid. Message 14280636

Hi Ted: Well the Linda Tripp Rally still has legs. Of course the way it looks the punch bowl will be taken away no matter who is elected. With Al Gore inflation will go through the roof similar to the Carter years with the increased spending programs. With George Bush the money supply will go back to normal levels. Right now I see valuations coming down on all stocks sometime between December and next February. Of course if we do have tax cuts, rate hikes and cuts in government spending the bull market can continue, but that won't happen. Tim

CNBC newsreaders struggled with tonguetwisters! This morning I was jerked awake by ConSwayLow's heavy French: FATE accompli! A few weeks ago, when Serena Williams was at the NYSE, BarterRowMow asked her about WIMBELTON! Shouldn't we all stick to Inglish? and local places such as Noo Jersey??

Thanks Ted. Just five(5) minutes is all that I ask for! I appreciate your efforts. P.S. Is Fort Lee worse than Lodi? I doubt it. I have to wait over 50 minutes for a pizza here. And it's always cold and usually stuck to the top of the box. But than again, that's the story of my life. Stuck in Lodi.

I have, in a few ways proven right. Back when the Internet index was at an all time high, I was asking about the valuations compared to Price of Gold. $100000 put into YHOO in January would be $19551 (minus brokerage fees & commissions) $100000 put into gold bullion (in January)would be $94352.74(minus fees & commissions). As large point.. The mining companies are marketing FOOLS! Despite my many calls (here, GATA, the mining companies I own, World Gold Council ) there is still NO INVESTMENT VEHICLE available to most US investors who wish to put money into precious metals bullion! Even IF any of the "greater fools" had been able to cut through the B.S. & enjoyed enough foresight to desire to buy precious metals bullion via their 401k's- THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN UNABLE! Next, will CNBC or any of the the broad investment media - tell this story? Will Anyone mention that all the "experts" of Wall Street who said "Gold is the worst investment" WERE WRONG?

Hi Ted, I wonder with all the pretty charts you guys put up on CNBC these days, could you please post this one and try to have some of the permabulls explain how "new economy" or "increased productivity" provides a justification for it...you will probably have to explain to the sell side guys what the word "logarithmic" means, and how it makes the chart look less extreme than it really is, as if that is any consolation. Many individual investors have and will be hurt by the endless touting of worthless companies on your network, maybe you owe it to them if only to save a few who have not yet found themselves swayed by the sell side propaganda. I can't complain as your network provides endless shorting opportunities for myself and others, but it would be nice to see a little rationality once in a while Thanks much stockcharts.com
