Ted, since you posted here I'm curious. do you get to listen to Brinker on the weekends? One thing I appreciate is after thousands of times they now let you guys mention GE without having to combine it with "parent of this network". Keep up the good work Marc

Ted D: Last night on PBS nightly biz report, your former associate (Suzie Garab) interviewed perma bear Bill? Fleckenstein. At the end of the interview, she recounted Fleck's poor record and asked if he had any comment to those followers who would have missed the huge rise in the market since he went bearish. THIS IS THE QUESTION THAT SHOULD BE ASKED OF YOUR PERMA BEAR GUESTS every time they appear on TV. Fleck's response was pure comedy - now that's entertainment. "Oh, there's a difference between not making money and not losing money" he said nonsensically. One gets the impression that CNBC does not track the record of its market guru guests. It should and it should hold that record up in their faces every time they appear on TV. Then viewers could understand the quality of the predictions they are hearing and consider the source.

Ted: Re: "And if we DON'T put on some bears to balance it all out, we get flack for that too!!!!!!!! Can't win!" Yes, and I look to CNBC for balance. Why I look forward to the reports from Renay San Miguel and Amanda Grove from the NASDAQ site when Applied Materials has been active. It is then that I learn the true meaning of balance when they sometimes tell me that Applied Materials is a leading chip making company. I, of course, am of the opinion that Applied makes chip making equipment but it is good to hear a contrary viewpoint. Accuracy should never get in the way of balance. Fortunately, here in the alternative media of threadom we don't have to care about balance. We just want to get it right.

Ted, >>> And if we DON'T put on some bears to balance it all out, we get flack for that too!!!!!!!! Can't win! -td >>> Balance? Yeah right. I have to say that CNBC was a great contrary indicator for me during last year's correction. Super Bearish at the precise time everyone should have been buying. There's some balance. Then again, who needs that when you have the Starship Commander saying.....
