I guess I have a few minutes and a few observations: First and foremost, Kathleen Hays.... my god what an improvement. Kathleen Hays has slowed down her delivery, she makes excellent eye contact and speaks slowly and clearly; an improvement that makes her a joy to watch. On a more male point of view (my apologies in advance), Kathleen's hair is great... its lady-like yet professional. I like the one color without the streaks. The toned down lip gloss rather than that bright red junk is a great combination. The style of her hair is more casual, a little longer and not so much hair spray. Keep it up Kathleen and I'm gonna send in my money for an 8 x 10 glossy. Keep up the great delivery Kathleen, I'm watching and enjoying the credit markets much much more now. As for Mark Haines, get rid of the stupid gorilla.... that bit is old and worn out. Sometimes a good routine can get stale and old and the gorilla thing is both. David Faber, keep trashing analysts, I love it. And keep reminding us of Merril's stupid prediction of AMZN and lets get on that idiot who recently trashed internet stocks, Alan "somebody." I would like to see exposed every analyst who upgrades a stock before the market opens but AFTER news comes out about the company that is positive, like a buyout or earnings..... their actions are nothing short of criminal. I'd like to hear more from Abby Cohen (sp) analyst... she makes a lot of sense. Diane Dimond, I'm glad you're there to keep that buffon Geraldo in check. Geraldo needs a cat-scan, "hello Geraldo, anybody home?" When is Geraldo going on vacation again? Let's bring back Marcia Clark on Rivera live. Kudos to Sue Herrera for the Edge. Her show is so good that I often-times tape it when I am unable to see it live. Maria Bartri.... (sorry, I need to write this down some day).... still perfect and focused. Good no-nonsense reporting. Tell me Maria, when you are reporting from the floor of the NYSE just before the bell and all those people are walking behind you and in front of you.... 1) Do they pinch you or bump into you on purpose? 2) Do they try to get on T.V. on purpose? 3) Do they go out of their way to try to get you to mess up? Sure seems like it to me from where I'm sitting. Ron Insana, always great, don't be afraid to get tough with the guests. Sometimes I feel they get away with not answering the hard questions. I've watched Neil Cavuto (sp) on fox and he is wimpy... we don't want to be like Neil.... oh no, not at all. As for Chris Mathews, I love the show but he is so good at controlling the guests that some idiots do not get to finish make dopes of themselves. I like the hardball approach, but let the guests finish talking before you hammer them. For CNBC, if you haven't already, let's get the CEO of BID.COM, TSE, BII on. I hear his management style and game plan are terrible and yet his company boasts as being the next best thing to EBAY. Put him on the spot. That's it for now.....
