Ted, Does CNN financial news come under the same team that does regular CNN news programming? In other words, is there one boss at the top of the pyramid for both? Do those pickets hurt fom time to time? -vbg-

Gee, shouldn't you all be neutral. By the way, do you all manage your own stocks/mutual funds or are your investments in a blind trust fund. Seems to be a severe case of conflict of interest if you all didn't have blind trust funds. CNBC is supposed to report the news, not be a cheerleader or be an informercial for Wall Street.

Hey Ted, Joe Kernan cracks me up. When he starts quoting numbers, he says: "...hunderd dollars" rather than hundred. Does he do this on purpose? :-) HiTech PS Where did you get that tan?

Ted, Thanks for straightening that out. I honestly thought you were talking for the network and I apologize for making that mistake. O.K., when you have a bad day, here is a joke just for folks in your line of work. Mama Potato, Daddy Potato and the three daughter potatoes are discussing the girls' marital plans. "I am going to marry an Idaho Russet," the eldest says. "We are so proud," Mama and Papa say. "Idaho Russets are the noblest potatoes in the world." "I am going to marry a Maine Potato," daughter two says. "Maine potatoes are fine, upstanding members of the vegetable community," Ma and Pa say. "They aren't Idaho Russets, but they are fine. We hope you'll be very happy, dear." "I'm going to marry Walter Cronkite," the last daughter says. "Oh, no," Daddy says, as Mama Potato faints. "Not a common tater." <G> Good Luck MB
