That would have been a great follow up. And I think it points out the silliness of having three interviewers for one guest. If you could have had a follow up it would have been much better. But it is very disjointed having three interviewers get to ask one question. I guess it was the typical "Wall $treet Week" type set up. I guess for future reference if you are on that show again, you will have to ask a loaded question that includes the follow up you have in mind, since you may not get another chance at the guest. I didn't follow him either. He kept saying "it is rich". And I thought sometimes he meant that the yield was rich and others it seemed he meant the price of the bond was rich. I may watch again tonight. I also might have been distracted by trying to watch you and thinking "yadda yadda yadda" when the economist spoke.

That makes three of us that didn't understand the economist's point. What's too rich? Besides Bill Gates bank account. I wish the hosts would have played Devil's Advocate a little more. They just kind of nodded their heads mostly. One shot with you and 'the Brain' stuck in my mind. He was jawing about something and waving his hands wildly, while you sat there perfectly still during your reply. The hand waving distracted me. Did you see my bond comments to Luc? Message 7823444 Do you agree or disagree with this take? Regards, TW

I watched most of the program again. The Barbara dude (fresh from making his latest cartoon with Hanna <g>) used the word "rich" nine times in his presentation. I thought his presentation was hard to follow even the second time. The only thing I could gather was he apparently thought we had avoided disaster and that bonds had only been low in the U.S. and Japan because the threats of global economic meltdown.

Belated comments on the show....basically it was too many people getting air time in too few minutes. Tightly scripted which kept the main guest (you) from being able to really discuss your views. That said, I did hear the words cash and risk mentioned several times by you -g- To Ice...There is a segment where Maria lists the "fight card" (aka earnings line-up) for the week. You won't enjoy that. All in all a typical cnbc show which means I wouldn't normally watch unless I knew the guest (as in this case). to Bill: do you wear contact lenses? -g-
