If Maria Bartiromo Speaks And No One Listens, Does She Make Any Sound?

Maria Bartiromo Is Talking And No One Is Listening.jpg
Apparently the money honey is like the anti-EF Hutton. When she speaks, people space out.

As he passed through Grand Central Terminal last month, Dr. David Berman, a commuter from Westport, Conn., usually perked up when he heard the voice of Maria Bartiromo, the CNBC anchor, echoing through the main hall over the public announcement system.

“Her voice resonates so nicely,” Dr. Berman recalled last week as he polished off a coffee in the terminal’s food court. Pressed to recall what she had to say, however, he came up blank: “Is it — let’s see — something to do with not leaving packages behind?” He heard her name and CNBC, but by the time the message rolled around, he had “moved on to something else,” he said.

mb has the most annoying voice on the planet, can't think of something i'd want to hear less than that during the commute.

I'd only bother if she was moaning... If I wanted to hear loud Italians women talk (i.e. complain) I'd go to Long Island.

When Ron Paul sounds the cries for freedom, do people listen?

I am for 99% of what Ron Paul stands for but am Pro-Choice though the first trimester, at which time after that I become Pro-life.

I bet her lasagna is spicy, hot , and moist.

lads and lassies,
Sorry, moneyhoney is yesterday's story . She lost all relevance one sub-prime melt down ago (amd I would wage a punt way before that)
Allow her the dignity to just retire into the sunset.

BTW please stop posting insaine rants about Ron Paul. Don't you follow the news, as a famous folk singer once said "the times they are a çhanging"".

Deal with it and move on mates. (full discolusre I am not American and don't give a sh*t who becomes president).

I have all ready set up my trading strategy, its long EUR/USD, also long USD/CAD. Right now a gift, thx for shoring up my book.

They are all the same when they get to power, they all ignore the fundamental problems with the US economy.
