Ted, I saw you interviewing Greg Waldon (sp?). I got a chuckle when you asked him to speak slowly, believe me even I was finding it difficult to follow him... I really enjoy your show. Please continue to ask tough/direct questions. Thanks...

Ted, please, I would really like to hear her say that she personally is invested in every one of her picks. And how about those Goldman trading profits? Please have her confirm that Goldman did/did not make money this last quarter shorting their own picks... thanks for trying to do something about the doublespeak. MM

Ted, it will be interesting to see what she say's, not expecting any real honesty though. I must say you guys have been much better recently at calling these experts/pundits/Fund managers on their BS, so I commend you for that. The ironic thing is, most of these growth fund managers are telling the public to buy/hold and think long term, while what they are doing is dumping techs by the truckload on each rally. Yet they want the public to hold all the way down so they can avoid those dreaded redemptions. The fund industry needs to be forced to be more transparent or at least shows like yours and others need to expose these guys. As a trader not an investor I could care less myself, however I know there are many who tune in and actually act on what these people say, very dangerous IMO. I don't expect CNBC to bite the hands that feed them, and I am thankful for the recent decision to be more challenging with their guests, but I would like to see even more accountability, if that is realistic from a business standpoint. donv

Ted, Good luck in getting Abby on "your show" as I think you have the best chance of the 'group' to REALLY question her on HER picks. I just hope your bosses don't give you a pink slip IF you ask her the tough questions. And please, don't let her use the plural WE as Maria allowed M. Meeker to do when describing HER picks. I mean really, an analyst getting paid millions, and when her picks (re: underwritings) go south, and all of a sudden HER picks are OUR picks????? Who is the WE and OUR, the poor schmuck carrying the memo from the top floor saying, "OK, pump this stock?". Sorry for the rant - too much Dennis Miller. I just feel sorry for the poor schmucks that listen to these people.

Ted, Here's an interesting financial story that has been missed by the US financial media. ay-orders play role of BRs in Rs 100-cr bullion scandal Sharad Mistry -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mumbai, March 21: Remember the ubiquitous bankers' receipts (popularly known as BRs in the banking and securities market) that were at the centre of the country's biggest ever stocks and securities scam of the early nineties?Well, almost a decade later, a couple of aggressive operators in the Ahmedabad's bullion market have milked the banking system using the pay-orders leading to a scam of around Rs 100 crore. The quantum of the country's first bullion scam, which may have come to light because of the tumbling stock prices and sliding gold prices, is feared to be over Rs 400 crore, if dealings in the yellow metal of overseas players (having conduits in India) is taken into consideration. The officials of the Reserve Bank of India's Department of Supervision (DoS) are currently investigating the bullion scam that has got some seven nationalised and foreign banks entangled. It is expected that by early next week, the RBI's investigation team may be able to point out whether the cooperative banks had issued pay-orders without receiving equivalent cash or without debiting the accounts of its favoured clients not having sufficient money in their accounts. Also, the findings would bring out in the open the quantum of losses suffered by leading bullion banks State Bank of India, Syndicate Bank, Canara Bank, Allahabad Bank, Corporation Bank and others. These banks are said to be left holding the pay-orders that are not supported by equivalent value, rendering the pay-orders in their books worthless. For the time being, the RBI is worried about the Rs 75 crore to Rs 100 crore that seem to have been lost by the bullion banks in Ahmedabad, known to be the country's bullion capital. Apart from the leading bullion banks, some of the leading exporting entities too are believed to have been entangled in the bullion scam. At the centre of the Rs 100 crore bullion scam are the pay-orders issued by couple of cooperative banks, including the Madhavapura Cooperative Bank, which went bust recently with the stock market crash. And precisely because of the Madhavapura Cooperative Bank going bust, the five-month-old bullion scam surfaced giving clear indication that the bullion players in Ahmedabad have not just been playing the stock markets but were even relying on the latter to fund their bullion operations. Both these operations got entangled somewhere (probably with the crumbling stock prices) leading to the country's first bullion scam. (cont) financialexpress.com

Ted, don't be eating any popcorn when you read these: From: melf (Melf Elf) To: ALL Date Posted: March 20, 2001 at 11:13:34 Subject: Solectron (SLR): Thank You, Abby Joseph Cohen Reference: Re: Jerry Oberhelman November 27, 2000, Abby Joseph Cohen recommended Solectron (SLR) at 35.5625. She recommended it because she knew that the market was undervalued. LOL. Seems that "suddenly," the outlook for SLR has changed. What a surprise, eh? Here's a quote from Bloomberg: ((`Just a few short weeks ago, we were still hearing from our customers that demand remained unfilled, and they needed more production,'' Solectron Chief Financial Officer Susan Wang said on a conference call late yesterday. ``In a matter of weeks, we've seen a sharp decline.')) No kidding!! Just a few short weeks ago, SLR was also trading at $32. It's now at $19.26, down 45.84% from where Abby recommended it. Looks like the chart knew something, long before Abby did. She has STILL been cheerleading the past two weeks, while SLR has steadily tanked. LOL.
