    What in God’s name is that “trading doctor” horseshit? That woman makes Cramer and the Fast Money halfwits almost look smart.

    Did nayone notice the Rick Santelli was so bitchy and oenery this morning. What is up with this guy, is he trying to get fired to join Charlie? His behavior is really out of line, rude, and just plain obnoxious.
