Looks like ET is a bastion of bears and short sellers. Even the bears have to have somebody to their unfortunate side and than call him a fighter of truth.
Let's play "guess the bio". Guess which CNBC "expert" this bio belongs to: "As CNBCâs Senior Economics Reporter, XXXXXXXX reports on all aspects of the economy including the Federal Reserve Bank and major economic indicators. He appears on âSquawk Boxâ (M-F, 6-9 a.m. ET), as well as other CNBC programs throughout the Business Day. XXXXX joined CNBC from The Wall Street Journal where he served as a senior economics reporter covering monetary policy, international economics, academic research and productivity. At the Journal, XXXXXX previously worked as an energy reporter and, from 1996-98, as the Journalâs Moscow bureau chief. He was a member of the reporting team recognized with a Pulitzer Prize for stories chronicling the crash of the Russian financial markets. Prior to joining the Journal in 1994, XXXXX was the business editor for The Moscow Times, where, as the founding business editor for the countryâs first English language daily newspaper, he helped create the publicationâs stock index, which was the countryâs first. XXXXX has also worked as a business reporter for both the St. Petersburg Times in St. Petersburg, Fl., and The Sarasota Herald-Tribune in Sarasota, Fl. XXXXXX holds a Masters of Science from Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism and a B.A. in English from the State University of New York, Buffalo." I mean really, shouldn't one at least have to have some sort of business degree or at least have worked in the past at a financial firm to be considered an expert. Although I must admit, I thoroughly enjoy santelli's schooling of this clown daily. I mean really. English major at Buffalo? Not even SMB capital would take that.
*cough* Steve Liesman? He and Santelli should do a "Celebrity Economist Death Match" on Pay Per View.....lol
No longer view Cnbc or Bloomie. Santelli was allways on the money. Encapsulated moves. day77, welcome to ignore.
LOL. waiting to see that as well. If I were santelli, I would start off every joust with, "well steve, as an english major from the university of buffalo, why would...." hahahaha
CNBC: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNBC List of CNBC personalities (past and present): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_CNBC_personalities All those NutriSystem and WeightWatchers commercials says plenty about CNBC's viewer market.
I love watching these two go at it. There is no love lost between these two. The other day Santelli completely buried Liesman on an argument and Liesman looked like he wanted to jump through the screen and strangle him. Every one of their segments should be like that.
I admit it I like to see Rick go at it with Cramer. He's (Santelli) wrong all the time and Cramer has to put him in is place. Cramer has to point out where old Ricky boy is wrong and that quiets him back down.
