Dennis, the way it works at CNBC is you don't tell them what you want to be on, they tell you what they want you on. I think I'm stuck on Taking Stock and various other sound bites they have me on. I need to let Ted know I developed and managed an options strategy department for 10 years so he might call on me to discuss options. I think I can give a perspective others cannot when it comes to options. Also what you need to remember Dennis is what we do ie. Point & Figures is understood by relatively few investors when it comes to the 60 million investors in the U.S. They are use to and seek information that in the end will not help then at all but makes then feel informed. Like "the market was down today because of fear of more trouble in Japan". They understand that but would have little understanding of what I had to say. It's just that there is no time in their fast paced day to educate investors. You know as well as I do that if they did take the time to explain how this method works and then provide important input on what was happening within this method they would have lifelong viewers. Today was interesting as they taped me for another segment to at 4.10 and again at 6.10. We did five minutes (that is a long time taping at CNBC) and I saw the 4.10 clip today, it was about 12 seconds worth of sound bite. Tom D.
