DROP EVERYTHING

Picture 648.png
And pay tribute to the most important day in history. January 28– the day, 46 years ago, Charlie Gasparino entered the world, guns blazing, singing “Funiculì, Funiculà” with gabagool, sopressata, and other Italian delicacies falling out his mouth. At this time I’m too overcome with emotion and gratitude for the cosmic generosity of the universe for sending us this angel (first Jesus and now Charlie “The Second Coming” Gasparino? Our cup overrunneth) to decide what to send. I’ve got some ideas, of course, but I need your help. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. What do you get for the man who gives everything?

    arranging a day on “CNBC” when during a 24 hour period, nobody is allowed to say “Let me finish” to him or interrupt him when he talks or interjects; a day where they are forced to sit quietly and look pensively at him, smile and utter some insipid compliment to him(like, “Charlie, that’s the best reporting ever!”) after he’s stopped talking.

    Gasbag is such a mental midget. He says that mostly due to mismanagement merrill’s AUM declined from 1.8 in Q407 to 1.4 trillion, though admits the mkt went down —due the math chump that’s a 28% decline –> the market is down 41% over that time….fire this ape!

    hi 85 this is Charlie Gasparino,
    have you considered the fact that you’re a mental midget?
    or do you want to show us that all of ML’s assets under management are invested in the S&P 500?
    ever hear of a bond? or treasuries? or a money market?

    that would assume merrill brokers advised their clients to hold less than 50% equities + given 3/4 of all pm’s underperform the mkt this is a big stretch+ lump in int’l equities down 60-70% and at the 20% of port (as everyone on cnbc was advising last year)
