Will Ferrell’s visit to CNBC’s Power Lunch to promote the premiere of The John McEnroe Show as well as his movie Anchorman on July 7, 2004. (Will Ferrell’s movie “Step Brothers” was in theaters then). This is how the skit aired on the McEnroe show later that night:

Putting aside its incredible product line and pipeline of more, its still attractive valuation relative to earnings, and its $100 per share of cash that may be used for a dividend soon, Apple's stock has gone parabolic. And, parabolic moves always end one way, back to the place where the parabolic move began. Now, AAPL can of course power higher to who knows where in this move but the largest market cap stock in the world has now entered a tenuous phase, strictly technically speaking. But I digress. German investor confidence, the ZEW, in the next 6 months rose back...

Just when I thought I could not find a more worthless tv personality on CNBC than Dennis Kneale…CNBC throws Donny Deutche down our throats from 8-9. I thought once that awful Big Idea was off the air I would never have to see this joker again, yet CNBC throws him in their as a market analyst. Are you kidding me…christ I may have to switch over to Fox Business.

sad to say but I liked McEnroe -who was followed after his time slot by Dennis Miller on CNBC. It appears Will Ferrell was prescient on his thoughts on GE- but hey- anyone can fuck up and get it right once in a while.

Hello all,
It has been some time since my last post. Well, let us get on with it. First off…..GP it is not very nice to call people names. I enjoy that you are a bull. It is good to have many different views of the world (System). Right now, I am also bullish. I mean why not? Mark-to-Model sounds great to me (Or we can just call it “I will price my assets as I like and you give me money”…. I’ll gladly take the money. This methodology does have the ability to bring the market back along with some other shams. However, the real question is for how long? In fact, the system is and has always been a game….. no matter what type of system is being used. What matters is ones ability to understand the game and exploit opportunities faster and better than the next player. Up or down does not matter…… as long as we understand which way it will go and why. I suggest reading up on Developement Economics, WTO, IMF, Washington Consensus, International Economics, Middle Eastern History, Monetary Policy History of the U.S. (The Fed etc..), Accounting (FASB, SEC, Emerging Issues Task Force, etc..), Finance (Net Capital Rule, Leverage, etc..), and most importantly, Political Economy (Adam Smith, and the rest (Too many to list). I am no tight ass my friend…..I just know my stuff.
Thanks all,
Economics 101
(Still a student at a public school (University). Business Finance (Major), International Economics (Minor), Political Economy (Minor), Middle Eastern Studies (Upper Cluster),…..but of course I have read many of the works from fancy schools like Harvard, Yale, Cambridge, Chicago, etc..)

Now that his hilarious, and oddly thoughtful, Bush show is history, it’s time for him to figure out a way to pay similar homage to Dick Cheney.
