Media Appearance: Bloomberg Radio
By Barry Ritholtz - June 8th, 2009, 3:30PM
Tonite, I will be on Bloomberg On the Economy with Tom Keene for the full hour. (I just taped it). It will be on Bloomberg Radio from 6pm to 7pm.
It will also show up as a podcast at iTunes Music Store.
Tom is a great interviewer who asks terrific questions, and makes it easy. They give me plenty of room to answer a wide variety of questions.

BLOOMBERG On the Economy
Monday evening, 6 pm – 7 pm ET
Bloomberg’s Tom Keene interviews high-profile guests as they take an in-depth look at the economy and what is affecting it each day. The best and brightest guests are presented with clarity and given time to expand on their views and offer insights that are deeper than the headlines.
Yeah, even me . . .

Tom Keene is an ace.
I hope your interview is put on Bloomberg podcasts.

I just got thru adding to my comment on the CNBS post that BBerg radio is the only place to turn today for the best information provided by mass media IMO. Keene has been rock solid thru this whole mess and one of the few to tell the truth. I have sat in my car after reaching destinations to listen to him finish segments. Congrats on the appearance and am looking forward to hearing it.

Tom Keene is one of the all-time best interviewers in radio today. I can heartily recommend that anyone who has the slightest interest in financial news, history, economics and business go to the Bloomberg website and download the podcasts of Keene’s programs. My spouse hates most business news, but I’ve been able to get her interested in listening to Keene’s programs and she has found them to be both informative, entertaining and well-prepared. Bloomberg has a real treasure in this guy.

news flash!!!
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg (god bless her) has stayed the Chrysler sale to Fiat:

This is a stiff poke in the eye to her comrade in the White House.
I take back all the nasty things I said about Justice Ginsberg… extra points for guts. Maybe the rule of law will prevail after all.

Tom Keene has been unbelievable throughout this fiasco. The podcast downloads are fantastic and a more efficient way (than radio) to listen to Surveillance or On the Economy. (I am probably the only one at my gym who works out while listening to this stuff but it is fascinating and I think there are many chapters to follow.) Looking forward to an hour of BR.

No doubt in demand because you’re one of the best straight shooters around… I won’t name drop the other shooter to garner attention today on the blog.
June 8th, 2009 at 5:45 pm
Do it while you can cause you never know when you’ll be sitting in Washington Sq. Park drinking from a brown paper sack yelling I’m Barry Ritholtz, damn it!!!!

Relax Pool…it’s a stay, not cert.

ere’s the benefit of the B/D adjustment:Obama Officials See Hope in Jobless Numbers
June 7 (Bloomberg) — White House officials said they see encouraging signs in the slowing rate of job losses and defended the Obama administration’s handling of the bankruptcy of General Motors Corp.
The economy lost 345,000 jobs last month, fewer than expected and the lowest number since September, the Department of Labor reported June 5. Unemployment rose to 9.4 percent.
yup..this bull cant be stopped. keep buying the dips. I,m a bear but DONT short this market yet.
good read, folks interesting finance articles
could we be in he worst financial crisis in 100 years? Is the next shoe to drop soon?
June 8th, 2009 at 7:16 pm
Yep, but she needs only three more votes to get cert.
And the question becomes why grant any stay unless there is likely to be some kind of review on the merits?
Why step in front of a speeding train unless you feel you have the power to stop/derail it. Issuing, and then meekly dropping a stay would be seen (rightly) as a wimp-out by the Supremes; she has to know this.

@Pool
All it means is exactly what she said: she wants more time to review the matter. In fact, she only received the people’s response to the case filed by these speculators at 10 AM today.
Remember that GM is coming down the pike, so she may want to issue more than a blanket rejection of the case without explanation. She may want to issue a rejection order with a strong, well composed legal justification to prevent a recurrence in the much larger case of GM.
And I highly doubt that anyone on the Supreme Court is ever worried about being seen as “wimpy.”

I’d tend to go along with your observation (vis-a-vis Ginsberg)…
I’ll tell you something though…From an operational standpoint, the deal is all wrong…You don’t want FIAT calling the shots here…I lived in Italy for 12 years…Trust me on this…
It is what it is though…If ‘expediency’ is what was desired, then ‘expediency’ is what will be gotten…I wouldn’t make the mistake of thinking of it as a WIN though…All facets of the operation will be ground into dust within 20 years…

@cvienne
We’ll see. I’d prefer that Chrysler remain “all in the family,” but you never know. Was it BMW that they used to describe as the best of everything? IE–Italian design, German engineering!

I love Tom Keene and his podcasts, all worth listening to. However, I can’t stand his sidekick Ken Prewitt far too partisian for my taste, too many snide comments, and generally attempts to sell his viewpoint in his questions.
Recent Prewittism. Tom made a comment on GM and Ken said “oh you mean Government Motors”, but has he once ever made a similar snide remark on the trillions of bailout dollars that have gone to the banks? Nope, you’ll never hear any reference to the quasi nationalism of the banks.

It was just me and Tom for an hour. (So frickin cool!)
I will post the link when its up on Bloomberg
June 9th, 2009 at 7:33 am
He is one of the better financial interviewers around these days. You must rate.
