ot Ian, I am surprised you are a Lou Dobbs fan. Again and again he amazes me by showing an alarming non-understanding of topics. He is clearly getting his questions from script and often times falls down when a follow up comes back at him. For example, I caught the end of a piece with various guests all chiming in on, what else, their predictions for the market. Final guy mentions it's a confluence of problems including specific earnings to the broad economy here and elsewhere that spells trouble. Lou goes off script and quips: 'if we could just fix the broken dollar' to which the guest looks mystified but manages to blurt out: it's not broke, just needs more consistency. Lou, befuddled, laughs says; 'yea I guess' then signs off. Huh?? I’m not out to bash Lou but given he’s likely earning millions, why not take a few crash courses and talk intelligently? fwiw RO
