Oh Well

This is a picture of a bridge that is burning.

Hopefully that is not what I did when I canceled my appearance tonight on Fast Money.

They wanted me to ask the guys about a stock pick (which is the norm for this segment) but given the totality of this situation I did not feel right about appearing in this manner.

Oh, well.

Well done, Roger, well done.

thank you for the kind word

I'm not sure precisely what "the totality of this situation" refers to you, but kudos to you for sticking to your guns, Roger.

You never know: you may have inadvertently opened more doors than you burned bridges.

I've never watched more than a couple minutes of this show so I'm not familiar with their segments, but it seems odd to have someone who's in the business ask a question about a stock.

Roger:

I'm glad you did not go on... that face to face segment seems to be a place for eager novices, college kids or so called celebraties to ask questions.

That is not the place for someone with you background.

When that show was on once in a while I liked it, now it seems like they are forcing everything.

That show is a guilty pleasure. But the webcam bit is pretty goofy. Also, what tom k said.

CNBC Asia FTW!

That is the bridge to home ownership where millions have been railroaded.

Headlines "U.S. stocks drop as housing woes resurface"
Just when did the woes go under the surface???

I just HAD to buy the EXC today, after liking the fact it peaked during the sell off.

Anyone notice JNJ is closing in on a 52-week low? I'm going to make room for that and the CPB's of the world if the market is casting them aside.

Roger, it's THEIR loss on FM. I used to watch that but the condescension was knawing at me.

If I was Roger's agent and since the bro suggestion has not gathered mo, I would suggest another venue. FM does not become our host. I'm not a fan of Herb G but I think Roger would bring up Herb's game. There might be good synergy.

All that aside, Yes, yes, "well done."

How the tech bubble, partially caused by new online brokerage accounts, generated the real estate bubble, partially caused by new online mortgages.

"Here you are Sir... just FAX this and "you're done". How true!

You acted on good instincts. For their lousy ratings,it is not worth the professional risk. Now, as for American Idol.....

I thought it was a great show until they added the background music. But that WebCam stuff is pretty much the worst part of the show... George Schumer Richmond, CA

Roy said...

I actually watched the show tonight, as I'm traveling. They say we should avoid the home builders. Thanks.

LOL!

Roger Nusbaum said...

i was going to post here later to say thank you for all the kind words but Roy's comment had me rolling on the floor and so I had to post now.

Thanks again.

Well I have SO MANY puts on the XHB, and VIX, and HD, that I'll be eating beans this fall if it reverses. Fortunatety, I like beans n' wennies.

And oh yes; MTG puts and more. Puts galore... Just never expected such an invigorated PPT using our own money against us.

Wonders never cease! When they finally go down in flames I will spend a year in the Carribbean to celebrate. And I'm ready!

hehe; the last couple verifiction words had XHB in them. hehe
