If you’re going to shame a “website” for putting up what was in fact a rumor, don’t send David Faber out on the air an hour later to muse that “Citadel has been down around 26 percent- or so they say” and then “from what I’m hearing, there are a lot of questions about forced selling out there.”

Oh yeah bess, Bitch slap those cows

“You better call me back before this
hits the tape.”
Dealbreaker > CNBC on every level.
all cnbc’s base are belong to some shit whatever
Gaspo mentioned the site but wouldn’t mention the name, good or bad?
i don’t think the issue is with gaspo, but the fact that, following his segment, faber went out and basically put up the rumor db put up on tuesday, after cnbc had “shamed” db for posting it.
Kinda curious:
the alleged 40% loss, was it before Monday’s rally? And the actual 30%, was that right after Monday’s close? Just wondering. I mean, I do not suppose they had a 10% swing in one day (after all they hedge, right? ), but -40 and -30 are suspiciously round numbers, which might really stand for, say, -37.2 and -33.1, or something like that.
@7- not sure. though he say “i know the kids, they’re good kids”
@9- the number is clearly closer to 40 than 30. especially since griffin wrote in his letter, basically “get ready for way more volatility” i.e. he’s going to break the bad news in stages. 30, oh wait, 40.
Is it me or is it hot when Erin talks about “back door stimulus”?
@7- he wouldn’t mention the name b/c he’s bitter he didnt have the story first. think about it- it would’ve been classic cnbc to report that rumor, but because they didn’t have it first, they had to take the other side and say oh, this is completely false.
@10 – I heard that too….I took it more as him putting down DB by calling Bess et al “kids.”
@14- i agree. he’s so transparently bitter.
Bess,
You should do a story about how Ken G went around to each of his top employees offices and basically made them donate at least $2,500 to Obama.
Check into it…..
cnbc are bullies. Faber is a no talent card reader and Gasparino is in the mafia.
@16- leave the political shit out of this. of course a chicago hf is going to support the presidential hopeful from illinois.
bess– faber’s an easy take-on, but can you go head to head with the money honeys? they’ll scratch your eyeballs out…
Highland closing their hedge funds?

@17 u sure?
20, so says CNBC, which sucks cause I’m in. Asks on paper were 60′s. Trades as forced by Barclays were like 30′s. This is my recollection and may be off a little.
dealbreaker is just a rumor monger at this point. you’re a bunch of opportunists who are taking this environment of fear and stoking whatever rumors you can. your reporting is crap and the content a joke. fortunately, with every untrue posting you become less and less relevant. enjoy your 15 minutes…
at #21 I don’t know nothing.
@23- you’re a moron. dealbreaker has consistently posted stories days before the MSM.
@23 Faber is that you?
@23 – Gasbag, is that you?
those ‘rumors’ have been consistently true. So maybe you can put on some sleeves
16 And maybe follow it up on how Stan O’Neil did the same thing in favor of W during the 2004 campaign. News flash: thats how life works in the real world. In theory, folks should contribute a max of $5,000 to their firm’s Political Action Committee, which then allocates contributions to candidates that will be helpful. Reality is that the PAC can only contribute a max of $5,000, which is not gonna get the firm heard. So someone important walks up and down the aisles and asks for “voluntary” contributions to candidates of choice. Its called bundling. No one likes it, but thats how the world of politics works.
@27 if that was Gasbag the post would have included threats and requests for protection money
@23 – Griffin is that you?
Charlie g is short! Maybe only 5’8″ or so, I know it pains all you other short men to think that 5″8″ is short but it is.
Shill for McCain more, Gasbag. Your taxes are going up no matter who wins because the US is going bankrupt otherwise.
-
On another note, this day is gonna be ugly.
@31 That’s ok…the short ban has expired
#23 – you do realize this site it heavily slanted toward jokes with some rumor, gossip, real news, and discussion put in. It’s supposed to be fun…
Also notice that the Citadel story is on Bloomberg’s mainpage now so somebody apparently got it right didn’t they and far ahead of other news sources.
As for stoking fear. It doesn’t need stoking. It’s been burning since July 2007, most people were just too dumb or out of touch to notice. Plenty of signs of forest fire before that too.
@19. Especially Michelle Caruso Cabrera. She can kill you with those Cabreras.
@18 – the only reason I posted it is because its true. I know people who work there who stayed home those days as to not have to fill his bucket on that. Ken looks as Obama as someone who is weak in his economic policy and sort of a “blood in the water” scenario.
Not trying to grind an ax on Obama, just that I don’t think employers should try and scare people into contributing for any candidate.
@36 — By far the best cans…cannons, on CNBC.
From a good source: Ken Griffin flew to Sweden to try to get loans from Swedish banks earlier this week after NY and London banks said no mas. (pulled his lines)
bessy, once again you were first. fk the wsj and cnbc. the viral network is alive and well. let’s all agree, gasbagarino has nothing on bess and her db tipsters.
given all the eyes on db these days, bessy, might be a good time to go after that raise you’ve been looking for…
separate topic: anyone else notice that jpm wrote down “toxic” assets to $0.25 – $0.55 on the dollar ($hiti looks to have written them down by a like amount). also, what’s the story with jaime d selling $4bn of mortgage assets to…himself (trading book)? extrapolate to the other big banks and discuss.

Hahaha. Well you seem to be getting under CNBC’s skin. You didn’t get the memo? Only they are allowed to have information slipped to them anonymously.
They are certainly grumpy. Guess looking at all their “GE holdings” is making them less than tolerant.
OMG Bess just realized that now CNBC will try to pry your hands from that keyboard and phone and put you on the air. Are you ready for that? They love to eat up their competition.
@18 – Look on Huffington Post Q2/2007 or any other campaign tracker. You’ll see the surge
37 See 28. Anything to add?
Is Bess a hottie? Where’s a photo?
can we get cnbc to blow up like the bad funds?
can we get cnbc to blow up like the bad funds?
@46 Sure I have lots to add. I could go through the donor list and tell you what role each most every person who donated plays there. Not too difficult.
37 So all you had to do to avoid having to give a contribution was stay home that day? How convenient. Dont you think they would remember to ask again when you returned to the office. That little detail plus your fourth grade grammar makes me call BS on that one.
@38 Agreed, she is smuggling some serious watermelons
47 Google her and you’ll see. She looks a lot like that woman in the Superman movie.

@45- what the fuck is your point? see 18
#18. You culd put what this guy knows about foreign policy in a thimble. You can put what he knows about the economy and the market in a quarter of a thimble.
So why would anyone on WS support him. He certainly isn’t doing anything for them. Right?
50 I mean anything to add to what 28 (me) said. Which describes how things work in the real world.

57 I have two words for you: Sarah Palin. Plus, McCain is much worse. At least BO has smarts.

@57- you’re a fucking idiot if you believe mccain/palin are more qualified than obama/biden
what was the original citadel post that caused all this furvour about?
@10 Condescendingly or not? I didn’t see it.
@57- you’re a fucking idiot if you believe mccain/palin are more qualified than obama/biden
@57 i am so fucking sick of people thinking that because mccain fought in a war he knows shit about foreign policy.

Here is the other one.
http://fundrace.huffingtonpost.com/neighbors.php?type=emp&employer=Citadel+Investment+Group&search=Search
Using Citadel Investment Group in the search
Combined looks like around $200,000 or so from employees for and only $70,000 for GOP
I didn’t see the remark but if the oldsters at CNBC are referring to the DB as kids…perhaps the kids should send them over some suppositories, depends, fibercon,ensure,pillows and brochures for nursing homes in Boca
@21. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS THE MAFIA. The “Mafia” was a fabricated concoction created by Hollywood and fiction journalists.
73 Duh… thats 65%D/35%R Is that so slanted? Esp when you consider, its money from smart, urban, affluent people that live in the city where the D is from? Give up on this one. Its how politics works. You hold you nose and write a check.
CNBC, and especially Dylan Rattigan, have been trying to strike this populist pose lately … did anyone hear his rant on Fast Money last night (okay, it was on at the health club). I wish that guy would just shut the fuck up. It betrays a true ignorance on how the world works.
@76 – i think i touched a nerve. Should I bring up Citadel’s relationship with Ameritrade?….would that fire you up more?
78 You touched no nerve but simply prompted me to point out your naivete. Its simple: your observation that in a D city that is home to one of the candidates, the fact that among people who are likely to be affluent and intelligent (i.e. the employees of Citidel) 2/3 of political contributions went to the D candidate is totally unremarkable. Its simply the way the world works.
#66. I think Obama/biden will mix it up with Pakistan and that Senator O is a closet war hawk. McCain is very very anti war.
80 I’ve said it before. All of McCain’s credibility went out the window when he chose Palin as a running mate. No way Sarah Snowpants can be taken seriously, which is an important consideration when the guy at the top of the ticket is as old as McCain. And he did look old in those debates.
Old Gassybags is really stumbling over his words on his “scoop” of Highlander right now – why is he always so sweaty and hyper on the air?
gasparino. = mafia.
no sleeves needs someone from make-up to stand by to wipe the shine off his forehead and chin. what a greaseball.
@79 – I am not naive about the number of people in the Chicago Land area who are voting a certain way. I am also not naive about the fact that educated / affluent in Illinois will vote a certain way as well. What I’m pointing out is that Ken is trying and will successfully garner favor based on his support and that support was driven by “highly suggesting” that people support in a certain way. Thats just wrong – people should be free to do what they please and not feel they have to in order to not be added to some “did not donate” list. Thats it. I have no more to add.
@ 74 – Great idea.
@ 75 – What? Are you being serious?
bess’s photo
http://www.newsgroper.com/files/legacy/bess-and-skilling.jpg
@54 – That photo IS of Kate Bosworth in superman. It isn’t Bess. Good lord.
88 I know that. I was just hazing the new guy on the board. Or trying to. Next time dont ruin the joke. ;)
remember that ad of Griffin stepping over the fissure with his briefcase? what a tool
85 Once again see 28. Stan O’Neil was a “Bush Ranger”, which is someone who bundles at least $100,000 in contributions. This is the way money greases the political machinery, on both sides of the aisle. Don’t go making this an indictment against Obama.
the BL towel pic is my comp background.

A lot of us Italians are pretty short, some (but not me) might even have small dicks. But when all else fails, we get it done with our hands.

More market manipulation. Lock up the used car salesman from Microsoft.
SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Microsoft Corp. issued a statement Thursday that it has “no interest in acquiring Yahoo,” after the software giant’s CEO had suggested that a merger would make sense for shareholders.
