Tonite I will be on Fast Money on CNBC for the full hour, discussing with the crew:
- RIMM, Apple and iPhone 4.0

- Retail environment
- Bear market psychology
- Financial regulation
- Double Dip versus soft (1.5-2.5% GDP) recovery
UPDATE: Video is here

Lastly, kindly forgo all civility in your discourse . . . you are, after all, anonymous.
"Overall household indebtedness is up from $7 trillion to almost $10 trillion since 2000. On this sum, we estimate, the American consumer has an annual interest bill of more than $500 billion; a sum, by the way, that vastly exceeds his current income growth." —Kurt Richebacher
"The Greek offer is not sufficient and they have to go away to come up with a revised plan," said a spokesman for the German Finance Ministry. The Greeks must first have a plan that satisfies the Germans which this comment states they clearly don't yet and then the Greek Parliament will vote on it this weekend. This said, whatever package gets voted on in Greece is basically an up or down vote on euro membership so we are entering another uncertain weekend for global markets. A failed vote will likely lead to a hard default which may be what...

say hey to Dylan Melissa for me

wow-
appears I botched the strikethrough on Dylan-
no preview feature that’s pretty cool- that way it’s always a fun little mystery for everyone how their post will look like when they hit submit

First Kudlow, now this.
Barry, Barry, Barry……

I miss Jeff Macke and Dylan. That show is everything wrong with the stock market mentality these days. When it’s gone I will know the market has bottomed for real.

Damn…I missed it. Tell me…is Melissa Lee a great Mod of that site? She keeps all of those guys and guests in line. I’m a big fan of her.
I’ll check to find the video. “Fast Money” is my fave site there..and I’m not even a Trader…I like the new info and spin on current events (that Melissa always brings in) rather than the randy others hawking Apple and BP, Potash an other “Flavors” or the Trade.
Thanks for the Heads Up…and glad to see you are back in the CNBC FOLD you were worried about….but it’s kind of “whoring” on some of those shows like Kudlow…dontcha think? ;-)’s

Regarding financial regulation: Can someone tell me why Fannie and Freddie aren’t included?
BR, you should write a column comparing how much money taxpayers shelled out to Banks and what has been paid back (net cost to us) vs. how much F&F have cost us. I would like to see the numbers. What am I missing?

I’m scouring the “Fast Money Site” and can’t find you. Can you please provide a link?
Thanks!

Oh wow. We’ve got Brother Ritholtz on the prop desk. That’s all right
June 24th, 2010 at 10:49 pm
Hey BR tell something from behind the scenes…
June 24th, 2010 at 11:27 pm
Hey, look at these positive comments from other readers. Like, are we supposed to be thrilled about BR being invited to join CNBC, like in Goodfellas when De Niro and Liotta learn about Pesci’s good fortune to be “made”? Hey, now *we* TBP readers have a man on the inside!
Uh oh…look out, Barry!

Didn’t catch the show and couldn’t find a post-show video but Fast Money’s not a bad show, recognizing it’s more for traders than investors. I was watching Taking Stock on Bloomberg which I prefer over FM. Guests get to discuss issues in more depth rather than in 1 -2 minute sound bites, so get on to TS more often Barry but stay away from Kudlow. Remember you’re judged by the company you keep.
