Thanks. I find Suzi hard to listen to. She talks fast and seems to jump around. She is good for those that think in "sound bytes" and can't concentrate for 5 solid minutes. She has been good for our traffic since she hit TV: google.com especially from those that can't spell :) google.com Bob usually talks like his newsletter, seeming to get many words in while not adding much with the extra words. Sort of like my highschool chemistry teacher who was much too slow for me but really was a good teacher for those that liked to hear it said 5 different ways. Good to listen to while doing other things since you often get a 2nd chance. It will be harder for this style to work on a TV audience. I'm looking forward to seeing what he is REALLY sipping on while talking. Maybe Coke or Pepsi will have a bidding war as I think both sell an Iced Tea product? :) Could be a good placement and we know Bob is not shy about making an extra buck (book sales on his web site). He should have hired me as his "Super agent" and I'd have given him the book list idea long before... :) Maybe this product placement idea is my big chance? <G> Kirk

As for CNBC Moneytalk... You have to give Bob a little credit. After all, he's not a COMPLETE idiot. There is no way that disgruntled callers will be allowed on the show. I predict that, as he does on the radio, Bob will take credit for calling a bear market in Jan. 2000 (although in reality, he didn't call it a bear market till long after the fact). Further, he will take credit for staying out of the market during the bear (although in reality, he was more in than out and suffered huge losses). He may allow the CNBC crew to lob him a couple of underhanded pitches but rest assured, he will come out smelling like a rose and may even get a few seconds to pitch his newsletter to the newly gullible. best...
