What the heck was going on this morning on Squawk Box? They booked then manager of an index fund. There's an interview with lots of potential. <g> Then, Jim Rogers and Mark Haines managed to completely butcher this easy interview. The fund doubles the return of the NASDAQ, both on the upside and the downside, via futures and options. They just didn't get this simple concept. Tom

Kevin-- You said ya spend more time watchimg CNBC than you'd really care to acknowldge? Uhhhmmmm, I know the feeling. So I'm working on a set of test questions to determine just who is a CNBC junkie: You might be a CNBC junkie if you wander around the house or office humming the tune, 'My Discount Broker. My Discount Broker, Dot Com." Or, you MIGHT be a CNBC junkie if ya experience a sense of pride in the size of your personal 'Market Wrap' tape library. Regards, Paul P.S. I just realized this message is being sent as a response to John.... too much bother to cancel and retype... please excuse. PW
