ep, Thanks for the idea. I do enjoy Rukeyser's quick wit and opening monologues. I stopped watching him seriously several years ago when I discovered that his guest's prognostications and fortune-telling were darn good contrary indicators. A living could be made fading Rukeyser. As far as men like Templeton are concerned, I was a Templeton mutual fund investor a couple decades ago. What I discovered was that as Templeton was getting damn rich off running my money, I was getting a trifling rate of return. His religious sanctimoniousness finally turned me off completely. Templeton is a perfect hypocrite, and a wily conman/salesman, creating a lovely mythology about himself. Once I discovered John Bogle of Vanguard to be a much more honest man, I never looked back. Peter Lynch? If I tried what he got away with at Fidelity I would be indicted for insider trading. <g>

I enjoy watching Lou's show and find most of his guests are still coming to his new show on cnbc... pbs got rid of him because they may have had a better offer from fortune mag.. I think one of the folks on the new show is the old fortune type guy and the girl is from ex cnbc, fox. I just think it is great Lou kept the show going and GE picked him up.. He is well respected and the show I believe has now become one of the top shows on cnbc so both made out in this move.
