Well I am glad you two are still both around, I heard you say "swan song" on Friday and heard someone might be starting a business program today on some other channel and I was worried you might be jumping. BTW, tell Liz she is my favorite CNBC babe without a doubt! I am bummed I won't see much of her on the West Coast with her new hours. Good luck with everything and give gold a plug once in a while.

Liz seems like a genuinely nice person, seen Her on numerous occasions interacting with Joe when He is ranting a little about analysts or the market in general. She has a brutal schedule now, good luck with the new time slots Ted You deserve it. Thanks for asking the tough questions for a while now, btw live a hair north of Boca.

Hey Ted - I was wondering if you could suggest to the powers at CNBC to cut back it's constant coverage of rate cuts. I am not talking about today, I realize a Fed meeting will get the bulk of the coverage. But day after day after day of "What do you think the Fed will do?" is getting to be a bit much. Clearly, after 5 rate cuts, we are close to the end of cutting, regardless of what happens at the next meeting, so maybe coverage can move on to say, ANYTHING ELSE!!! Enjoy your show. Best regards.

Sincere Thanks. btw Joe will get sick of saying the word gold most of the "experts" say gold runs in either 22 or 56 year cycles & through history the Central Banks have sold at or near bottom and bought near top. Governments always screw up. Hope you guys can get GE Financial to start offering you a decent Gold Mutual Fund. Suggest it should be 80% HUI index(very lightly hedged producing mining companies) + 20% bullion(15% gold 5% silver). Heck I'd even jump that one.

According to the analyst from CSFB NEM is too expensive so it only deserves a hold rating, yet CSFB just bought a 4% stake? They say NEM is more leveraged to the price of gold than say ABX or PDG, which they have buy ratings on. Obviously they must think that gold is going up and a little hedged company like NEM will outperform. Otherwise there is no point in buying a more leveraged company like NEM if you think it's expensive and needs much higher bullion to support the price. They didn't buy it from Noranda at a discount did they? Perhaps they didn't consult their own analyst before making the purchase? ``Without question, Newmont and Homestake have greater leverage to take advantage of a change in gold position,'' said Doyle.. CSFB's Doyle has a buy rating on Barrick and Placer Dome, and a hold rating on both Newmont and Homestake. TORONTO, May 22 (Reuters) - Noranda Inc. (Toronto:NOR.TO - news) said on Tuesday it had sold its 4 percent stake in Denver-based gold miner Newmont Mining Corp. (NYSE:NEM - news) to Credit Suisse First Boston (NYSE:DIR - news) for about C$246 million ($160 million).

You know Ted, you will really need to start questioning those analysts who have CNBC report they are saying "Gold is going nowhere". Rumor has it Lehman is Short tonnes, tonnes & tonnes & tonnes.

Conflict of Interest on those Trimtabs "analysis" of the market. It is one thing to point out inflow/outflows but these guys are running a hedge fund that trades the indexes. It is Charles Biederman who runs the hedge fund and he is the same person that gets quoted by CNBC--Maria and Tom. This is much worse than brokerages and therefore less emphasis should be given them. At least their bullish or bearish short term outlook should not be advertised. Instead, it should just be left to what the inflow/outflows are. Trimtabs is playing CNBC for their own hedge fund gains. CNBC should mention the fact that he runs a hedge fund based upon market flows...that would be fair. That would be full disclosure to people who may be getting taken advantage of with these big bearish (or bullish) calls. Disclosure is all I am interested.

Ted, Have him on please? I'll stay home for it. (btw, you are doing a damn decent job.while I can't watch every day now - still most - you're OK. Yes, at first I missed Ron, you're doing fine. Be a bit more relaxed with it,and you will do better - play with it a bit, but you are doing just fine.) Gold to underpin emerging market currencies - report. JOHANNESBURG -- The World Gold Council (WGC) is investigating using gold in a basket of commodities against which the currencies of emerging market countries can be pegged. 06/07/2001 03:00:00 AM " The thrust of Ware's research, however, is that physical gold supply can be stimulated while simultaneously stabilising the currencies of emerging markets whose major foreign exchange earner is gold. Integral to the research is that the IMF's prohibition against using gold as an exchange rate peg is "anachronistic and potentially damaging to some developing countries". Ware adds that his proposal may apply only to a few developing countries, such as Mali, Ghana and Peru; nonetheless, there is a theoretical case for doing just this." Full story >>> m1.mny.co.za.
