Quote from o10maximus:

I'd watch a show hosted by rick. He can bring on various floor traders, etc from a variety of markets. There's no need to show fast money at 5 and 8pm...how bout showin' rick some love.
4pm-4:30 or 5pm would be perfect.

Now, that's actually a CNBC show I might watch.

I would watch it too. Unfortunately Rick is a little too smart for cnbc's audience.

Rick Santelli rocks, who can forget his legendary Cramer takedown a few weeks ago?

Quote from PAPA ROACH:

You know, it just dawned on me why Bush picked Cheney as his VP for both terms. Two words- assassination insurance! Who the hell would want Cheney as prez??? They knew they were creating a shitstorm, what they didn't plan on was how fast it would start to crumble. Fucking Karl Rove probably strategized about handing off to the dems in time for the collapse, thus eliminating the party from the face of the planet forever.

Ouch! CNBC pitches itself as the business channel for the educated and wealthy folks.

didn't you see Chappelle show when Dave said, if he was President, he'd sure as hell have a Mexican as VP?

Quote from nitro:

CNBC pays these people to get on TV and mostly blabber or talk their books. Many of them don't even trade, like Jack Berugian just handles customer paper.

Rick doesn't trade either, but he has good knowledge of the markets, and he doesn't tell you what he thinks so much, as what the market is pricing in. That is invaluable if you are not on the floor. It is a free "squawk" and worth sitting there through CNBC's endless ads to hear what Rick has to say.

He is hands down the best regular analyst on CNBC for the trader. Rick should go on his own and start a for pay squawk in the Eurodollar futures pit. I would pay. Or, CNBC should just have Rick on constantly over the internet and charge for it.

Strongly Agree.

Rick rules. The man is the only one with a 100+ IQ on the show.

While I agree that Santelli ( and Art Cashin for that matter ) are some of the more market savvy individuals on CNBC, THE reason why all the other "guests" that appear on CNBC pale to these 2 guys is because CNBC DOES NOT PAY ANYONE TO APPEAR ON THEIR PROGRAM.

Thus, the people that DO APPEAR on the network are the usual "talking heads" that have virtually no market insight whatsoever.

Again, I am at a loss as to why so many people on ET tune into CNBC.
It's virtually worthless.
