Ted, When the (even) White House is investigating the possibility of market manipulation by a group as large powerful and diverse as the group listed in the article, is the word "conspiracy" excessively strong? You should note, I am not sure CNBC is involved directly in this. The failure of CNBC to report on any business actions taken by the (valid blue chip)mining industry(of late) as suspect, though. There have been two takeovers by HM, one by ABX,& one by AU. The one that is ongoing by AU is a company that is traded in the US. Also, the actions in which around 25% of HM has been taken over by Baron Von Finck should have drawn some mention. Ted, The last takeover mentioned by CNBC in the precious mining industry was the takeover by NEM. Should not an mining analyst discuss these actions? And how about all the volume in the mining issues? There is a great consolidation going on in the mining industry. There are also some number "empty holes in the ground surrounded by crooks"(to quote Mark Twain". We gold bugs will buy few (if any) of these "empty holes" such as BRE-X, but the broad investment public should have some help from a real mining analyst. Some investment professionals are again saying people should have a small% (1-5%) of exposure to this sector. Should not CNBC not help the broad public with knowledge of this sector?

Enough of the conspiracy talk. There IS no conspiracy. Sheesh. Thank you, Ted. It was a little more than obvious to 99% of the board, but we all know that the 1% in question is just more than a little reality-challenged. Personally, I want to know why you are not still reporting quarterly sales #'s from American Motors Corp. ... clearly you guys have a bias <G>. Have a great holiday - K.

Ted, Please tell Joe K. that Mica was the sheriff on the Rifleman and not Bonanza. This is terribly important for those of us who need to maintain the integrity of TV trivia. I'm sure it was just an oversight on Joe's part. Lazarre

Well, at least Ron gave this idea some airtime. Hope this doesn't rattle RH's cage and noise-out the thread. Interesting nonetheless (on ANOTHER thread). Bill Murphy from LeMetropoleCafe.com after he thought the interview was over asks Ron "Did I do OK?" BTW, thanks for your participation here. I really wish they could clone you on CNBC. I can think of QUITE a few cast members that your replacement ofall viewers would benefit by . Interesting that the better CNBC people post here - you, Don and Ron. Don - any thoughts on moving to NJ? Or maybe NYC to take Pisano's place? You'd be a MUCH appreciated replacement.
