Steve Grasso Gives Caruso-Cabrera The HFT Smackdown. Hilarity Ensues
Do you see what happens Larry when a CNBC anchor and a trader discuss a concept that is not prominently featured every day on Page 6? The punchline from Steve Grasso: "Michelle, I love you despite not having common sense on this issue." 4 out of 5 moronic bloggers would certianly not be so generous as to add the the last qualifier. But yes, when even people MCC, whose "talents" are elsewhere, become trading pundits, you know the end of the trading world is nigh.

“By definition, 50% of the people out there are below average intelligence… so all you need is something that appeals to idiots and one smart person having an off day to get into office. Our government reflects this.”

Rule 1. Act like everybody is a idiot and has the IQ of a 13 year old retard child
Rule 2. Whenever shit hits the fan, don't be there.
Rule 3. Whenever shit points in your direction, promote a idiot and put him in charge of the shit.
This sums up about 5 MBA courses and can make you become a bigshot in any mayor company. :)

Why holy shit. You've just named the GOP strategy.
First it was Dubya and the religious right, and now it's Palin and the teabaggers.
As long as you aim to get the 25% lowest denominator with three word slogans and ban gay marriage every two years, you can get elected by "flyover country" every time!
How's your canned ham supply these days?
His whole routine is canned ham.
Not that I disagree with you entirely, but you seem to be a little one sided in your derision. I recall unrest in Detroit several months ago when it was believed that "stimulus" money was being handed out in cash, first come, first served. When a woman was asked by a reporter why she was there, her response was: "To get me sum money." Pressed by the reporter as to the source of the money, the responses were, "Obama money", and "from his stash."
And you are pissed at "teabaggers"? Try to drop the partisan crap, and call shenanigans WHEREVER it's due.
Bravo Johnny !!
Errrr... By definition, 50% of the people out there are below median intelligence.
MCC or as she is more usually called "Good, but i had better. Go make me a sammich .... in silence"
PS. One look on MCC reminds me how happy i am to be a mammal.
Tuned into CNBS at lunch for a laugh. Dennis was talking about 3-D porn with MCC and Herrera. Barrel of laughs. I almost threw up.
I simply cannot believe that moron is still on the air.
I know him and some others read these (how...hmm.. hi there James;)) and so note to cnbc and staff: DENNIS (ESPECIALLY) is not liked by anyone. Please dispose of him in the as soon as possible, maybe then a modicum of credibility will return to your station. Maybe.
I would only add to your suggestion box for CNBS, if you want to see a good financial news network, tune into BNN. BTW, I am NOT Canadian.
what a dumb crack
There are two reasons, and two reasons only, for having Michelle on CNBC.
Ears? Nope. Eyes? Nope. Nostrils? Nope, but you're getter closer.
The left reason is slightly larger than the right.
Your left or mine? :>)
Ok, so one is that Bartaromo can't work 24/7 and whats the other?
If the debate is MCC or Bartoromo, cnbc REALLY needs some new tits...er, I mean anchors.
Bartiromo is way hotter, she just doesn't stick out her boobs all the time.
Yeah, she only puts 'em out when interviewing Sprott.
Nope Bartiromo believes in boom and bust economies while MCC believes in "bust" and boom economies.
"Do you see what happens Larry when a CNBC anchor..."
"YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENS, LARRY!"
"YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENS?!"
"This is what happens when you FUCK a STRANGER in the ASS, Larry."
Go ahead Larry... Fuck her in the ass. I sure can't learn anything from this anchor with her looking into the camera and operating her pie hole....
DSL!
Kudos to Steve Grasso, that was a classic!!!
Also, Sue Herrera and her constant "human element preference" possibly indicates she is dripping under the table like a broken river dam on Yangtze.
Cheeky, it's so good to have you back. :>)
It certainly is, but I miss that other bastard, Robo!
If he neglects SLW again today I will be sorely disappointed.
SLW has been my best friend today...
Where's Harry W?
Pondering a new screen name and avatar.
'Should I go with 'Marky Market' and a picture of John Wayne? That might make me appear credible."
Just saw him today. He's back. Said he bought AAPL on the cheap during the flash crash. Don't feed the psyops and disinformation operators, it's beneath all of you.
Ahahaha.... "psyops" and "disinformation artists?"
LOL. Just because somebody disagrees with you doesn't mean that they're making an attempt to lie.
Lie? Hell the very best psyop is deployed by those who believe in it. This is how politicians grow to believe their own myths... I thought you knew this already Johnny. Feed your own information beast and then spoon feed it back to the sheeple residing within their fragile towers of power. Once you get here then you tell me if you're lying to yourself and the rest of those you choose to spoon the Gerber or not. peace

wondering if it is time to deploy back into consumer staples, utilities and euro centric US multi's since Mr. Market is going to teach those stupid politicians a lesson...

My wife's been telling me I need a new hobby. I'll run this by her and see what she has to say.

Also, she'll not let you back on ZH cuz we're a bad influence. Which is true.
"a bad influence"
Like telling people how to trade, only the wrong way all the time by being bearish on stocks, and bullish on the bubble that is gold.
please, please, please shut the fuck up.
ok
i vote that instead of captcha ZH uses Mensa certified IQ test as the enter barrier to the site.
Don't lock me out brother!
Bubble that is gold. You are a comedian MB!
I would advise caution about installing one of those ob exam tables in the bedroom bro and most especially do not keep your tools in the fridge that is a well air conditioned drawer. I suggest relearning your old scouting merit badge for knot tying, or the Ranger Handbook.. I have found the finger Prusik to be especially worthwhile..

THE pocket reference for all things related to that field.
"I'm an OB GYN only by hobby and not a professional, but this is my diagnosis."
I will mail you your mail order OB GYN diploma as soon as I stop fuckin' laughing so hard. Ouch, I ripped my stitches...
Dr. Bastard, it hurts when I go like this...
Wait, Dr. Cheeky Bastard... shouldn't you be a proctologist... Dr. Procto Bastard?
The way the anchors get around (Erin "Hot tub" Burnett) probably both.
Cheeky!! That be funny!
I see the problem. They had the sweater puppies covered up with text. You actually had to listen.
ZIIING!
Its official. Gold just hit its all time high :-)
I like!!!
Gold Bastard!
Ahhhh company YEEEEHAAAWWW!
Thats bad news for Apple, Intel, Hewlett et al. All those motherboard PCBs need gold in some form or another. Paying thru their noses for next 10 years ?
More bad news for HFTing!
+100
Record, Biatchies!
Remember to say NOMINAL, or else tmosely will be appalled at the lack of diligence applied.
TOLD. YOU. SO.
that you most certainly did. just wait for another down day like on the 6th and capital allocation to bonds will be a few percentages smaller due to capital inflow into gold. it seems as the mainstram investment community is finally waking the fuck up.
+infinity on all your gold calls in the past year.
Thx Cheeky.
You're the shit GG. Gold is now ten dollars higher than it was the last time you were bullish on it. You almost made 1% on your call.
Also, you guys are buying an asset in a bubble. Give ME some of that dope.
You are long the dollar and the euro I hope.
FAIL
You DO realize that would be a hedge and would most probably work out for the best, an 'a la LTCM' strategy if you would..
+1 GG
Congrats... not trying to be negative at all but, while gold had a great day (up 2.5%), my Sprott Precious Mineral Fund is up 6%. IMO, serious gold investors should have at least some (25 - 50%) mining stocks to get the leverage they provide on the long climb up the "Yellow Brick Road."
A toast to you my friend!
Great success!!
Champagne bitches!
Waiting for silver. Coming to a monitor near you soon.

MCC is a clown; she has NO talents, here, there, or elsewhere.
I'm pretty sure MCC has just recorded a clip for highfrequencyfuckingmachines.com.
Winner of the "comment of the day" right here folks.
They're both snake oil salesmen...
I'll bet MCC shaves more than Grasso..what a horse faced tranny..
It's funny that you've mentioned that, because I've always thought so too.
She looks kind of like a drunk to me, in all honesty. And her boobs aren't even that big for all the attention that they get...
Its not my fault.
HAL did it. No wait, RIG rigged it. Wait a minute, is BP dumping oil into the waters because we dumped "tea" ?
Tyler can you give us the true value of the S&P in gold now that it is going parabolic? I remember you did that a few months ago and it helps to illustrate how the market truly it not going up like most believe.

Most of CNBC's talking head panels are other CNBC talking heads. Reporters are now the experts. The only sane person with a clue is Rick Santelli.
sue and mcc know nothing.
nice job with the Cramer reference.
kudos sir.
lol, word!
They certainly didn't hire Michelle for her intelligence...
Either one of my heads would fit very nicely between her fun bags.
so is he dick's son?
she is probably the most
pretentious boobhead
on CNBS.

Now that gold has broken out hard, when do you sell it, if ever? A question to the board. If you could sell your ph to payoff your house, would you or should you to save 5% or maybe wait to own a mac man?
save 5% on what?
Intrest to the banksters.
Interest on the mortage, certificate of deposit, what are you talking about? If mortgage, how many years left? Dude, simple questions do not get good answers. And what does "sell your ph" mean?
PH =physical holdings of gold. 5% = intrest to the bank on a varible rate of prime.
What ever you do, don't sell the precious metals. Not now. The top isn't near enough to see from here.
And what does " broke out" mean? Wait till we see the $50-$100 swings. Sealtbelts everyone.
It means making a slightly higher top, falsely breaking out of an ascending wedge before it plummets.
How does 1200 count as a breakout? 3000 would be interesting.
As for your house, it won't hit bottom value until mid-2012. You'll then be able to cash out a couple ounces and buy something for cash down the street, if you are into that sort of thing.
Seriously. It's the first inning of the end-game. Adjust your expectations accordingly.
Pay the interest in depreciating monopoly money. Keep the real thing.
This is just the warmups, nine innings left to go. Doesn't make sense to sell something in a serious uptrend to payoff downtrending assets..
I'd say we're in the 6th or 7th inning, but that's my personal opinion.
JB! Just buried more canned ham out in the backyard LOL!
heres a nickle and two silver stars for that opinion
is it a quess. you do realise the the babe has only come to the plate just once. is on deck. with two on and no outs
Wow - nice little shoutouts for ZH on Bloomberg TV just now. Did anyone catch that?
Sorry I was busy watching "Hills" re-runs.
Dude, do it like the rest of us: watch your Hills episodes on your computer withyour headphones on and leave BTV on in the background.
Still looking for video on this. As someone pointed out, it was Joe Saluzzi and Matt Miller who mentioned the site.
Yes-
from Joe Saluzzi...with no argument from the hosts !
"everyone s/b reading them" !
Hell yeah
I hope TD thinks about upping the ad space premium now.
bonddude, friggin' awesome. Joe & ZH both have paid a price for this call. Time for the MSM to pony up and start thinking about reintroducing the concept of ATTRIBUTION.
dude post a link ASAP
Who is this MCC? Is she the new centerfold in Playboy's 3-D magazine? :)
She will be after the market crash.
Playboy is too classy for that. I imagine Penthouse....now that I think of it, is this the "Larry" implied by TD?
Right. MCC as centerfold. We nipple connoisseurs need more transparency.
To save a buck the exchanges are doing their best to eliminate human beings from getting in between the trades. The matrix is almost upon us.
Said it before, say it again, I've house plants smarter than that gal.
Wonderful comment. Agreed.

Is it just me or is she kind of mannish?
Kind of?
Sorry guys, but she is hot. I still miss Martha Maccallum though.
I see your Martha and go ALL IN with Rebecca Gomez on FBN Happy Hour!
Just imagine what changes to her mumbles those injections to her lips ten years from now will do
The problem with MCC is her style of debate - much like Gasparino's - is one of a flailing pugilist. No point is ever conceded or considered - ever - if it conflicts with her simple worldview of complex issues - yet she is so cocksure of her position that she doesn't even give the guest the courtesy of listening.
'Let me talk louder' is her response with smug interruptions and faux 'gotchas' when in fact, it is she, who looks positively ridiculous. Grasso wiped the floor with her - and was actually being nice because it was quite apparent to anyone who is involved in the market that she HAD NO IDEA what she was talking about with respect to market structure, how it works and gawd forbid some of the nuances of working in a fast market like that. Cluelessness of the first order
...but really separates her is her insistence that with enough forcefulness - enough brio, she can prove to everyone out there in TV land she is right because she said it LOUDEST and LAST.
She is truly awful and a lousy representative of someone who purports to be free markets all the time bla bla bla.
Well said, and pretty much sums up America (and perhaps the Western world) at this point. Actually knowing WTF you're talking about is vastly less important than looking good while saying it, and even makes you an object of contempt. Arrogance and ignorance are treated like the best combination since peanut butter met chocolate, or ass met hole.
Stargroves - Wow. That cuts straight to the marrow. Perfectly accurate and extremely well written.
She's as stupid and useless as a football bat.
Please will someone use that line!
yeah no I completely agree jedwards ... MCC I would, I so effin would...
I feel bad for you guys. Never would I ever look twice at her...I'm telling you she's a tranny

I'll admit being partial to horse-faced chicks (call it a twisted fetish if you like), but yes, this is going too far. She should contrive to smile or laugh as much as possible, though, as she looks much more human when doing so.
"I'll admit being partial to horse-faced chick..."
Hey those Sarah Jess-equines will nag you until the end of your days...
The only thing you can do for some quiet and relief is stick a stallion sized cock down her throat... watch out for those big teeth though...
MCCs whole problem is that she thinks that just because her damn mouth is moving that she is saying something. I look forward to seeing her and all the other CNBS pump monkeys living in a large box under an overpass.
Hey, MCC, please just shut the hell up when the microphone is live.
More like, she thinks that, because she has a vagina, any inane drivel that spews out of her mouth has validity.

I thought it was supposed to be 2000 by June! That's what the goldbugs in the ZH poll said LAST time it was at 1220.
Oh wait, it's almost June. Better move your unrealistic target back a few months...
I'd say June 2011 should work...
Anybody notice how closely gold and the S&P have been tracking each other the past 1.5 years? Both bottomed out in the high 600's, both having - till today - breaking 1220's. Here's some scenarios I can imagine a couple-three years down the pike:
Gold 2000, S&P 2000
Gold 2000, S&P 1200
Gold 2000, S&P 600
Gold 1200, S&P 1200
Gold 1200, S&P 600
Gold 600, S&P 600
What I can't imagine - not till we get a new Volcker who'll blast the 10yr to 15% and stop this madness - is gold being any less than the S&P...

Paulson eyes housing rebound"I think we have the basis for a strong economic recovery," the billionaire manager told investors on a conference call on Monday. "I think that we will continue to grow in excess of the estimates."
"If you don't own a home today, now is the time to buy one," Paulson said, adding that people may want to consider buying a second house or helping relatives buy one.
Poll:
1. Gumnut has a gun to his head. He agrees to speak the Party line in exchange for not being charged in the Goldman case.
2. He needs more chumps to bet against.
3. He's euphoric from his gains and is going to blow his brains out Jesse Livermore-style (figuratively or otherwise).
4. He's right and I've been sucked into an alternate reality in the last few minutes but am not aware of it yet because I haven't looked out the window and seen the purple sky, for instance.
