Ratigan gives himself a hard time every day he wakes up and looks in the mirror. "ALL IN" I would say he's a douchebag.
I think the guy was trying to make a point about sub prime, maybe he got a look at his brokerage statement.
Rat asked the guy if he'd heard that Cramer stock picks had actually beaten the S&P by 0.013% this year. Hope he's okay ...
I had dinner with Maria b. last night and I found out the guy crapped his pants and all the cameramen started laughing at him and making funny faces and holding their noses and finally he just collapsed from embarassment.
I saw the whole thing guys. It was very disturbing because Dylan would ask a question and the S&P guy would start the answer like everything was fine then half way through his answers he would stop and make a sound like he was choking. This would be like 4 seconds of dead air, then Dylan tries many times to restart, rephrasing questions and the guy would start fine then studder slightly, then it started getting ugly. The guy started in again then sounded like he was having a heart attack. More choking sounds, a brief yelp of panic then the sound of a mic getting pulled off like he fell which ended in a big thud. Dylan did well to shift over to the other guest asking questions, but when the whole thing was over..they cut back to a shot of Dylan and Melissa at the desk...Dylan thanks both and says ah um ah obv..obviously some technical difficulties with Robert there. Melissa turned to the camera to give a look of major grimace like she knew the guy sounded dead. I don't know if he is dead or what the hell happened, but it should go down on a cnbc blooper reel sometime. Unfortunately CNBC edited the video segment for the web. If interested, you can view it at the below link, the video starts where Dylan asks the other guest the questions. The other guest is like what I don't know about this subject etc. etc. http://www.cnbc.com/id/15840232?video=600339336&play=1
The question they asked was..... "Did you know that masseuse in the Asian Massage Parlor was really a trans-sexual from Bangkok?"
