bulls and bears used to be ok, but like you say the whole thing is getting to be unwatchable, guys screaming over each other, fast money seems to be holding out on all the politics and theres no screaming over each other
This Fast Money show is getting better now that the gang is not always yelling at each (at the same time). The newer people are working out good.
The bald guy sure missed the "takeover" of FITB before Memorial Day with the "elevated" call volume. He said, "FITB is about to be bought, and you need in on this now." LOL!! Call volume may have been a little higher after his big spew, but that was for about a day... Well, well. FITB was $42.95 before memorial Day. Peaked at $43.06 June 19, and Closed today (6-29-07) at $40.27. Down 0.79%... I'm out. Those guys screw up a ton of people I meet who are actually acting on pieces (the key word is "pieces," as they buy on emotion, the random-no strategy-picks from the "expert" they like on that show. Again, another emotion... Most losing money with the "arm-chair speculation" some using a large amount of their RETIREMENT assets. Scary stuff! Not all of their stuff sucks, but how does the average "arm-chair" investor/speculator make heads or tails of their advice to create any kind of strategy that will actually not empty their account??? RAD for example. I just don't see it hitting $10 this year as Bolling said. On the other side of the coin, RAD's fiscal 1Q net income rose to 4 cents/share from 1 cent a year ago on income tax benefit, higher profit margin, lower store closing and impariment changes. Despite those fundamentals, I don't see it hitting $10 this year. It was up today about 3.75%, however. Maybe some tech guru's here can take a look at the charts, and give some input on this, as it has my curiosity. As for the show fast money, I have given my opinion above, and also would rather spend time mith my Sons in the evening helping them with sports, homework, etc., NOT watching some guys pitch stuff that .001% of the aduience could even decipher enough to create some sort of working strategy from. Seen the show about five times, and went back to putting on the catcher's mit, and helping the kids pitch, and hit in the evening's instead of watching CNBC's blatant forms of "Financial Porn" that's all around these days...
Anyone know what happened to Eric Bolling? Dropped like a hot potato. He's not on the show OR the website anymore. Tim Strazini was no great loss, don't know what happened to him either, but Bolling was fairly knowledgeable.
Bolling changed networks, I just spoke with him on the phone the other day. Basically, money called and he ran. Fast Money is run by Dylan "Rat"i-gan, that is all you need to know. The show is falling off big time.
