I was hoping more for some mining analysts Vs futures commodities or metals analysts. I was thinking perhaps CNBC could help prevent another BRE-X. Also, I (and some others) find the great number of mergers in the mining industry questionable, though I understand that you would not be all that interested in reporting on
mergers witth companies that are not traded and do not operate in the US.
Change of topic, the wife said she was worried about your high level of tanning. Wondered if you might be somehow related to George Hamilton.
Hopefully on a more civil level:
When the bulk of the South African government, Bishop Desmond Tutu, PBS, many in the mining industry believe the large group of those international banks and brokerages invested in LTCM are(were?) manipulating the price of gold and the White House is looking into it, should not CNBC also look into it?

btw,
While the XAU was making a solid rally of more than 4 yesterday,
Bob Pisani reported from the floor that "the metals are all lower". Maybe the steels and aluminums were, but +4 is a large% move.
Less than entirely accurate (don't you agree)?
