Two words: “More Macke.”
“In conclusion, my new best friends at Comcast, you can’t put a price on the potential synergy of bringing Jeff Macke back to NBC in a wildly expanded way. I can share this stuff in real time on a blog. I can appear on whatever network you want to throw me on for either conventional appearances or, more intriguingly, as an alternative soundtrack for viewers who want me “chipping in” as they watch the program. You don’t think American viewers can handle listening to both me and the Today Show simultaneously, Comcast? Please. Right now I’m admiring the red outfits on my friends Melissa Francis and Trish Regan, emailing Melissa to tell her I admire her outfit, writing this column, surfing the web, getting stock quotes, playing Google Pac-Man, and pitching you guys a business idea about which I’m only 80% kidding. We’re a nation of multi-taskers, spraying revenue opportunities in infinite directions 24/7/365. You guys want a bigger slice of the pie? Turn up the stimuli on your new division. Give it more Macke.”
If an audition tape is necessary, please have a look, and get on it. This offer will not last.

@5 He’s on the CNBC show FAST MONEY where he gives you advice on how to lose your money the fastest way possible.
@6 – I believe you missed the sarcasm in the comment…where is the joke briefer when you need him?

@4 just blow up the yacht. Solves all of your problems.
Do you really get paid to write articles like this? I must talk to my Pay Czar.
Jeff Macke has not been on CNBC’s Fast Money for almost a year now.
@13 exactly, shit for brains, hence the whole, asking for his job back.
@13 – Just go with it, the paddling doesn’t hurt after awhile and you grow to kind of like it. Just do not ever look Bess directly in the eyes.
Macke is on cracke.
Bess,
I’m going to get your number from Zach Kouwe and spread it around as a “standard fake” among the ladyfolk at Brah Jimmys, Soho Club and other douchebag hangouts. You will continue to answer the phone anyway in hopes of getting your graduate degree – MRS

Just the other day, coincidentally, I did a Goggle search for Jeff Macke, wondering if he’d popped up in the news lately. Nothing came up other than his occasional pieces on Minyanville.com, which, if you bother to take the time to read them, generally make no sense whatsoever. He basically just talks up his book.
The funniest thing in the whole fucked-up-on-camera incident, which got him fired, was that it came to light that he wasn’t, in fact, running some $500M hedge fund, like he claimed, but simply trading with his own money, of which there really isn’t that much, apparently. I think it turned out that he’s only got maybe a few hundred K in a few different accounts. Which makes him just a loud-mouthed day trader.
I feel sorry for this guy. Seriously.
The guy’s dad founded what is today, Target. I would have a hard time believing its “just a few hundred k.”
With a mellon like his, I think he should stick to the internet and radio. Also, any wealth that came from the tit of his fathers success has been mis-managed into a few hundred K.
Also, for the record, his father was CEO and Chairman and was not a founder of the company that became Target.
WTG Jeff, they'll prolly never get it, but you gotta keep rolling it out.
