    It might be the other way around eventually if Pandit stays at the helm.

    Gasparino’s prior job was as a broker at JT Marlin’s satellite office in Rego Park. That’s how he has all his inside sources.

    Gasbagarumor is little more than an outlet for Mike Mayo. Not a bad source. The problem is that he understands little of what Mayo tells him (even if MM repeats it 50 times). Why you ask? Because he lacks an understanging of the basic concepts of finance (he can barely add) and has the oratorical skills of Vinny the Legbreaker (“Alls yous guys gots ta do is let me cut you off in the da middle of yur comment”). BTW – when did beating a press release of public information by 30 seconds become “breaking” news. Me thinks he breaketh wind not news!

    Companies regularly time their information embargos to the media to end just before the press release so that the TV media can start reporting it immediately.
    Just saying.
