I agree, Toby. I think that would be helpful. Unfortunately, I don't cover the markets, so my input is pretty useless to you guys. I do specialized reporting (latest investigation airs next week on Business Center about how many sports franchises are in serious debt) but I'm learning more and more about what you do everyday -- and watching pros like Ted helps me a lot.

One thing I will go out on a limb and say is; whether the information is baloney or not, hearing from analysts and folks on the floor of the markets is interesting. I know some of the readers here think a lot of them are full of hot air, but hey...if everyone made the right call all the time, who'd need to work for a living?

What would be helpful from our end is when someone thinks one of those talking heads said something idiotic -- give us some specifics as to why it made no sense and what we could look for in that kind of a response next time. (I'm sure Ted, Ron, Maria, David, et al, would flag that sort of thing as well - they know their stuff - but it wouldn't hurt to be specific rather than just sarcastic).

Thanks!
