Are we excited for a week and a half of Dennis Kneale and his funky glasses, who are filling in for Dylan Ratigan on "The Call"? If it means we'll finally get an answer to Charlie Gasparino's question "does Dennis Kneale use hookers?" we are.

Did anyone win the contest yet? I'm putting my money on Golden (Shower) Girl. Or the local Twinkie delivery guy.

C'mon, boys, don't tell me you don't know Gaspo's love for boy men. He's takes it from behind - why else is he so bloated?

anal_yst: while our views may differ at times, I must agree with you here. if you're gonna' talk $hit about someone, man (or woman) up and stop posting anonymously...how else will we know what type of propaganda YOU are spewing?

sort of see what anal_yst and cluzo and big r are saying at yet...come off it...you're not using your real names. still pretty freaking anonymous. come off it.
Posted by Anal_yst , Apr 16, 2008 1:18PM
Insofar as the vast majority of us "know" each other here, it is by associating comments/ideas/opinions/etc over time with a given name. And so, for our purposes here on DB, our "real identities" aren't important. By posting as a guest, you are denying the rest of us the ability to get to know "you" and what you're all about. So, in this little DB world of ours, posting as a guest is pretty cowardly, especially if you're going to make baseless inflamatory statements.

CNBC would be a far better netwrok if Dennis "I don't know jack about anything, but I'll always express my stupid and uninformed opinion" Kneale were never on the air again.
Posted by mrpink , Apr 16, 2008 1:31PM
Dennis needs to Kneale down and start sucking... I'm waiting.
As for the 'guest' poster @ 11:51, I think I speak for the majority of registered users (on this particular subject only)... Kiss my bl*** ass. Register.

anal_yst: Despite reading many of your comments, I don't have a clue as to what you're about. Can't tell, beyond the fact that you have some kind of financial services job what kind of work you do or in what type of firm. Get a vibe that you're single and under 35 but not certain. Fairly sure that you're in NY, but wouldnt bet on it. Have no idea about your political leanings. I could go on and on. So cut the crap about how we know you.
Posted by guest , Apr 16, 2008 1:40PM
@1:18 Why stop with just user names? I really want to see a verified photo of Golden (Shower) Girl. I also believe that real addresses, education, political views, net worth, accomplishments, and employment history also add to knowing about fellow posters. You first... As for the statements, if ya can't take the heat... I'm not alone in believing that you're an a-hole sometimes. I'm the one who posted that reference about you last week. I'm just glad that I completed your life. Remember? Seriously, I doubt you care about my opinion any more than I care about what you think. As Rodney King said, "Let's party and run from the police!" What? You thought I was gonna say "Let's all just get along?" Please.

Kneale is really f'in terrible though, 11:51 did get that right, although that doesn't exactly take a genius to figure out the guy is about as well-suited for CNBC as Elmo

Mr Pink,
What kind of trouble are you into today? Bond, Equitys or Commoditys? I am some how green today while having a net short bias still... go figure...
The meth monkeys in the NG pits are swinging from the bars and appear to have raided your top drawer and slammed a few shots today... between them and the crude pits its a crazy day in commodity land...
Are you and Big Daddy C hooken up for a hot box moment today? Mrs Stupid blew up the BMW baby hauler so she took my little red rocket today and made me stay home with the kids...
I am being told by my little bosses i need to go up stairs and get my ass kicked at some Wii game...
Best,

@ 1:33, I may be going out on a limb here, but I'm pretty sure a few others know how I feel about a variety of topics, as I do them.
To each his/her own though.

anal_yst - i have to agree with the other anonymous posters - you're lame.
Posted by guest , Apr 16, 2008 2:27PM
Anal_yst: I have a suggestion. Double click on your name and you'll see the history of your postings. Read them over and you will see that, except in rare instances - example, opining on the JPM buyout of Bear, its basically the same unfocused babble as the anons.
Posted by Investorcluzo , Apr 16, 2008 3:10PM
@2:27 (both of you) - I've got an idea, let's double click guest and see how many lame a$$ posts come up. at least those who have names are willing to stand by their comments (smart, witty or just plain $hitty). I don't have a problem with you or your opinions, but just like you point to anal_yst's prior posts, we have nothing to assign to you. perhaps you should just crawl back into your cave and hide in your anonimity...
@1:40 - I've seen golden girl (and girl for that matter), I will confirm that the name does not refer to anything related to your bathing techniques.
Posted by guest , Apr 16, 2008 3:23PM
@2:27 (2) here. Read carefully. I'm not criticizing anal_yst, either personally or for his ideas. Just refuting his claim that his posts are in some way unique and from them we can tell what he's about. I repeat, they're largely indistinguishable from the rest of what I see here. So in the end, what's the value of them being a little less anon (that is attributible to an individual, but still in the end anon) than the other anons.
Posted by StupidEquityGuy , Apr 16, 2008 3:28PM
Mr Pink,
Ouch, Across the Curve has some interesting comments today about curve ramping back up...
well, be glad your not as stupid as I am... I have trimmed my shorts on the big banks... but still have to much it appears... freaking JPM, MS, LEH, C, BK are making my day... at least UBS understands reality...

Fair enough. As I said, to each, his/her own. I personally prefer the slight air of familiarity I have with some of the other registered users here, rather than dealing with 100% (as opposed to maybe, as you say 90% anonymous) pseudonyms.
And you're all likely right, I'm sure most of my comments are some sort of quasi-coherent babble I've 1/2 paid attention to while typing. However, it seems most of the back/forth faceless insult hurling that goes on here is between 'guests'. Just an observation.

SEG: I'm impressed. Most straight guys never admit to be stupid or wrong. Or lost, which is kind of the same thing. The rest of you slobs: take a lesson, you'll be better for it. GAnalYst

@GAnalYst: why must you paint all of us straights with the same brush? as I told @girl monday, don’t let a few bad apples spoil the bunch…
Posted by StupidEquityGuy , Apr 16, 2008 3:53PM
GAnalYst,
Thank You for the nice comments... I should have covered all of my shorts a long time ago and embraced the market love.
I am still green almost double digits YTD so my stupidity has only cost me Alpha and is not noticeable to the monthly reports. If you saw my daily MTM numbers you would probably wonder what kind of stuff we were smoking over here, as we go up and down silly % per day.
I believe its easier to self acknowledge my mistakes and learn from them. I am the PM/Founder at our shop, so win loose or fail, it will be my name you guys mock.
Best,
~SEG

Cluz: I said "most", not "all". I know that a few of you are enlightened. A big handsome, strapping boy that I work with, for example, who said to me somthing like "I think its not so simple. There's a continuity to sexuality. I consider myself feminine in certain ways." I was in heat for the rest of the day. GAnalYst

Yeah.. pretty harsh spring so far here, but slogging it through. We're not up as much, but still green. I guess there's a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel.
I haven't gone and read ACC yet, will do that here in a while. It looks like another late night of messing with a damn model..
To spark some lively debate of the non-Tanner type, I posted a little tidbit in Community to get some discussion going about LIBOR...

Hey guys, Looks like the last laugh is on Gasbag the Fag. Check out what Judge Judy wrote about him on the Cody post a while back. Oooo rectum shot!
CNBC IS TOAST - Posted weeks ago elsewhere but very appropriate here.
The Gasbag’s Latest Cheap Shot Attacks BofA
Judge Judy says to Jeffrey Immelt: “Yo Jeffy and da boys. Yous guys listinin? Charles Gasbagarino wants to breaka you legs cause you ain’t got no soap”…..
While this is a humorous mimic of your “on airhead editor”, it is a surprisingly accurate reflection on his linguistic skills, intellectual depth and false sense of his own manhood. His verbal capabilities remind one of Rocky Balboa’s tongue on steroids and his intellectual content is perfectly suited for a Jerry Springer highlight video. His presence on the air appears to be a strange cross between a Dick Tracy character and Michael Corleone’s driver. He is a male chauvinist and a closet homophobe who is likely paranoid about his own sexual inadequacies. Hence, he manifests his false sense of bravado by making a complete ass of himself and mugging his coworkers and guests on the air. Can we get this guy a pinky ring and a gold chain necklace to go with the patent leather shoes? It is increasingly the opinion of a large percentage of your viewing audience that CNBC is deteriorating rapidly. Around the trading floor, we now refer to it as CNBSleezy. Women on Wall Street think that he is the poster-child for birth control.
This guy is a punk from Brooklyn who masquerades as a journalist. His constant cutting-off of others is rude, obnoxious and a reflection on his own insecurities and ignorance. His journalistic feats are a collection of cheap shots at various financial executives and institutions that refuse to have anything to do with him. The consensus in the industry is that his book is full of lies and distortions as a suck up to his whop buddies. He continuously gets into screaming matches with well-informed guests because he refuses to think for one nanosecond before opening his cavernous mouth with an array of misplaced “d’s” and “t’s” as well as “dees” and “doos” that would make a grammarian quiver. This guy is an embarrassment to your broadcast team and to his gender. Does he ever think before he speaks? “We broke dat story! Alls yous guys look at me or I gonna breaka you face. We broke dat story.” Notwithstanding the linguistics, a real professional gentleman needs no such self-promotion.
The catalyst for this narrative is your supposed “news” about BofA the Friday before last. We have continued to watch him endlessly fabricate stories and embellish upon information already available through credible analyst sources. He claims to break “news”. We think he does little more than break “wind”. The story about BofA cutting certain supplies like hot chocolate, etc was taken entirely out of context. They’re not eliminating hand soap in the rest rooms as stated by this on-airhead. This “story” was little more than a small minded reporter trying to make some harmless cost containment maneuver look excessive. CNBC looked like the fools that they are by even allowing Gasbag to report it. Have you no due diligence function? How many of these ridiculous stories will you air? How about the Bagman’s penis size? We know he has no balls. I’ve seen it scribbled on Ladies Room walls, which are at least as accurate as his sources. Here’s some real news: BofA cut 650 people today. Where was the wind-breaker on that one?
You think that reporting about a guy taking female hormones is a newsworthy business development just because it involved SAC Capital. What’s next? Maybe the Bagman can get a glimpse of Maria’s bra size while sniffing her laundry this week and you can put it on the air as news? While his “news” coverage was an affront to all women, he managed to assault the gay community as well with that one.
This guy is a sleezeball who must hang out in beer joints, pool halls and men’s rooms at night with slimy people trying to get dirt on his targets. What he can’t get away with putting on your air, he sells to his cronies at the NY Post. A “rumor” is neither a story nor is it “news”.
Gasbagarino’s favorite preoccupation is with C, MER and BSC, of which he knows nothing. His batting average in terms of being right on these stocks has been pathetic. He is little more than a journalistic hemorrhoid to these people. How smart are John Thain, Duncan Niederauer, Bob Greifeld, Vikram Pandit, Dick Fuld, Lloyd Blankfein and many others who flatly refuse to have anything to do with this sleezeball. Alan Schwartz take a lesson. He serves no constructive journalistic or business purpose other than to give the false impression that he has some stroke with his Guido brethren. “Yo, Adrienne. Alls yous guys gotta do is wake up and smell the garlic. I tink my boy Tony Soprano must be gettin some of da action on dees twee stocks. I’ll bang dem up soes he can bottom fish dem.” The guy is a journalistic pimp and a hood. Hello….job cuts and smaller bonuses due to subprime….duh….geez, you scooped us all on that one wind-breaker. Not! He recently reported that Merrill had started the process of laying off up to 1,600 people and then leaked it to his cronies at Dealbreaker. This is completely false. For the record, there have been no official layoffs as of this writing. We all expect them throughout the industry but this is not news!
And, of course, we are starting to see his false forecasts of Citi now come to the forefront. Despite weeks over never-ending guesses, he missed the dividend cut, he missed the write-off and he missed the lay-off (his forecast was for 35,000 immediately rather than half that through an attrition program). And today he reported the layoffs would be spread out so that they can spread the cost out. Wrong again Einstein; the cost is always booked up front. Schazam. Maybe if he makes more guesses and fabricates more research, he will eventually get one right and then can claim to be a visionary. I swear, I get more precision and satisfaction out of my vibrator. I actually heard this jerk state that firms were looking for more capital so that they could book more losses. Hello Dumbo – that is illegal. Do these CEO’s actually look dumb enough to volunteer for jail? Remember, a chain is only as strong as its weakest link and CNBC’s weakest link is this incredibly annoying marble mouth.
Speaking of my vibrator, it appears as though Gasbag has a masturbation arrangement with the zealots over at the Post. They get each other off by distorting information about the CNBC team. Check out the stories on Erin. It sure looks like the fingerprints of the Bagman are all over this one. I’m sure that Erin, Maria and all the CNBC ladies can relate to this one – Bagman, the panty-sniffing Leaker.
It appears as though CNBSleezy has made a strategic mistake. Reporters are not necessarily financial experts and this surely applies to Gasbag. They are paid to gather information and craft it into a factually based story of value to the reading/listening public. For intellectual light-weights like Gasbag to insert their chauvinistic, moronic opinion about a financial subject for which they have no expertise or formal training is distracting and dilutive. To have an insecure idiot like Bagman participating on panels is the root cause of the never-ending screaming matches which are neither entertaining nor informative. Even the ranting maniac Cramer has some intellectual fortitude. Perhaps you can have Gasbag move in with David Faber with the hope that he will adapt some of the Brain’s mannerisms. As my mother often said, one can only hope.
Let’s have a few New Year’s Resolutions. Please pull the punk from the air or get him some formal financial education, linguistic training and anger management therapy. A little rehab and some sensitivity training probably wouldn’t hurt either….one third of your audience is comprised of women. He might offend fewer of us. In return, we won’t slime CNBC if it does not continue to slime our favorite bank! Happy New Year.

Hey Judy,
You are a fucking nut case. A funny one, but still a nut case.
