Subject: First Time Ever: Invest with Me Now
Dear Investor,
I’d like to introduce myself. I’m Ron Insana — perhaps you recognize me from CNBC, where I was a senior analyst for many years.
I’m writing today to let you know about a brand new product I’ve developed with TheStreet.com. It’s called Market Movers by Ron Insana and it has only one purpose: to help you make more money in the markets.
Let me be direct: I have never offered a service like this before. And to thank you for becoming a charter member, I would like to offer you a special personal rate to see exactly how my service will help you become a better investor.

I’ve been analyzing the markets for more than 25 years, and I’ve developed sophisticated approaches to managing your portfolio, especially in these volatile times. It’s dangerous to trade alone, but I know a better way. For the first time ever, I’m going to help you outsmart the markets right alongside me.
My goal is simple: I want to provide you with practical advice on how to find the smartest upside opportunities — and still protect what you own. With Market Movers, you’ll get investment knowledge — and actionable ideas — that few analysts can match.
With my new service you can actually see every trade I make and understand exactly why.
Plus, if you join me now, you’ll get a $300 discount AND TheStreet.com’s brand new e-book 7 Stocks to Buy Now – that’s a $199 value absolutely free when you start Market Movers today.
And here’s one more bonus: When you try my service, I’ll send you a complimentary copy of TheStreet.com’s brand new e-book, 7 Stocks to Buy Now. You’ll get stock picks from the best minds on Wall Street — including Jim Cramer, Doug Kass, Rick Bensignor and more – free when you join me at Market Movers today.
Join me today and find out how to make “The Message of the Market” work for you!
Sincerely,
Ron Insana

    Geez, NO WAY!!!!
    ANYTHING ASSOCIATED WITH “Mad MOney” Jim CRAMER IS BOUND TO FAIL!!!!
    Yes, TheStreet.com is owned by Cramer. A Nasdaq listed that lost over $25 million!

    He used to own a hedge fund company but for some reason he abandoned it. I bet it went bankruft!

    He could try proofreading. Or maybe he really, really wants you to know (twice) that you’re getting that amazing ebook.

    All in all, this might be another ‘green shoot’. CNBC hacks are back to their old ways, more concrete forms of self-promotion. @8, As far as his old fund, Insana Capital Partners, lets just say it was DOA (as this will probably be as well). I wonder when Maria will come out with her own set of investment strategies (e.g.- remembering to cup the balls and ALWAYS swallow!!!). I wonder if he’d consider additional partnerships through Trump University or with the Welch School of Business.

    I’m still not sure if this is a joke. This should be a joke.

  19. Posted by guest | June 25, 2009 at 8:38 PM

    I’m sure he’s a good guy, but:
    Failed anchor, failed hedgie (faux hedgie, hedgie front, hedgie wedgie, whatever, him going over was notably toppy) failed regurgitated CNBC consultant, etc. …
    Pathetic is right on. Groveling. Please, don’t make me look any more.

    @17: Maria B could compete with a book called “I Know Where to Put It”, a compilation of answers from her career-making question: where would you put your money (and every variation thereof)? It would surely appeal to the same demographic of retard.

    Ron Insana is full of shit, and so are the rest of those so called defenders of the “free markets” at CNBC. Just don’t pick on Bernanke because he and the all knowing and benevelent Fed saved us from ourselves. We are helpless little sheep and we must have our asses wiped for us by the Govt because they ALWAYS have our best interests at heart. Don’t believe me, just ask Steve LIESman he’ll tell you all about the special powers possesed by the Almighty – I mean the Fed. The Fed can fix anything, and they’re especially adept at fixing their own fuck-ups, like this current little mess we’re in. It’s called job security. Fuck shit up, blame everyone else, and then come to the rescue on your high horse. These guys bask in their own perceived glory. In other words, they like to smell their own farts. But don’t worry because people like those assclowns at CNBC would have everyone believe that whatever the Fed, or Treasury does is good and just. They’ll do it by any means necessary – just ask poor Ken Lewis – a dumbass in his own right who shouldn’t be running a scout troop let alone a fucking bank. Yet, I watch tv today, and see these CNBC pricks (and cunts) defend Bernenke, Paulson and what went on at Merrill and BAC makes me want to kick my tv over ala Travis Bickle. I miss George Carlin, he had all these fucks pegged. They are all full of shit!

  25. Posted by guest | June 25, 2009 at 10:34 PM

    on a scale of 1-10, how embarrassed do you think reading this would make Stevie?

  26. Posted by guest | June 25, 2009 at 10:57 PM

    DANGEROUS COMBINATION:
    Cramer and Insana.
    Remember, they used to be hedge funds owners BUT dropped them when the market turned sour.So, you don’t really know their managerial skills during challenging times.
    TheStreet.com of Cramer reportedly suffered major losses (several millions) during this economic downturn.

    Sometimes when I am in the frozen food aisle, trying to decide which flavor of Ben and Jerry’s to buy, I wonder if maybe I should take that $3.99 and give it to Ron Insana to make me wealthy. But I end up getting the ice cream, and cry at night at inability to better myself.

    I don’t know who feels worse reading his promotion piece him or me? What a long hard fall this recession has been for Ron.
    Very sad.

    What a terrible fall, he has to do this?? I thought he’d be able to get a gig on CNBC or Fox Business or something like that.
    Frankly not enough discussion is made of people >50 on Wall Street, what do they do? The firms always want cheap, young talent and cast the older, wiser aside.

    Can’t Steve Cohen, his old boss, just give him some money and spare us the second hand embarrassment?

    @39-You’re calling Insans wiser? Really?
    That’s a bit like calling Cramer a genius.
    Wow.

    I would jump at this offer if the newletter was written by the more trustwothy and sage toupee-wearing Ron Insana. Since it is coming from the bald Ron Insana I will have to pass.

    “brand new e-book, 7 Stocks to Buy Now.”
    Does anyone else have problems with the idea that a book about 7 stocks to Buy Now probably is outdated when its sixth or seventh copy is distributed?
    Offer price: $199. Bid: What, maybe $0.49, as an historic artifact?
    Makes OTC FX seem like a tight market.

    Remember if any of these investment advisers were any good they’d be making money themselves (and outsmarting the market, as Ron says) instead of wasting time with you.

  53. Posted by guest | January 11, 2010 at 10:03 PM

    Ron Insana showed his true colors today on MSNBC when he lied and said that Bernanke shouldn’t be blamed for all that happened under his watch. Thanks for letting us know Ron that you stink as bad as Bernanke. Saved me from wasting money on your new book. If you get a bad smell when you go to the book store it will probably be his new book. Ron must be totally out to lunch because just read the quote about Bernanke written by Senator Bernie Sanders, Independent Vermont:
    “The American people overwhelmingly voted last year for a change in our national priorities to put the interests of ordinary people ahead of the greed of Wall Street and the wealthy few. What the American people did not bargain for was another four years for one of the key architects of the Bush economy.
    Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke, in charge of the central bank since 2006, could have demanded that Wall Street provide adequate credit to small and medium-sized businesses to create decent-paying jobs in a productive economy, but he did not.
    He could have insisted that large bailed-out banks end the usurious practice of charging interest rates of 30 percent or more on credit cards, but he did not. He could have broken up too-big-to-fail financial institutions that took Federal Reserve assistance, but he did not.
    He could have revealed which banks took more than $2 trillion in taxpayer-backed secret loans, but he did not.
    The American people want a new direction on Wall Street and at the Fed. They do not want as chairman someone who has been part of the problem and who has been responsible for many of the enormous difficulties that we are now experiencing. It’s time for a change at the Fed.
    We need a new chairman. We need somebody who is going to pay attention to small- and medium-sized business, somebody who is going to do everything he or she can to grow our economy and create decent paying jobs, somebody who is going to protect consumers against outrageously high interest rates on their credit cards, and somebody who is going to stand up for ordinary people.
    I am going to do my best to see that Mr. Bernanke’s nomination is defeated.”
