Jackie DeAngelis Blows
I was originally going to title this post "Jackie DeAngelis Must Die", but I thought she might take it the wrong way.
Anyway, earlier this week, Ms. DeAngelis "interviewed" famed short-seller Bill Fleckenstein on (gack, choke) CNBC, every permabull's favorite network. Right out of the gate, she attacked him:
You can watch the interview at the bottom of this page if you want, but I can save you the time by simply stating Mr. Fleckenstein was ambushed by a trio of CNBC permabulls, deriding him for missing out on the past five years of market rally.
I think it's repulsive for a network to take a guest's time and use it to berate him (why Bob 
Prechter shows up on CNBC baffles me, since they just laugh at him). DeAngelis' entire demeanor toward the Fleck was condescending, smug, arrogant, and mean-spirited. I can easily picture her at cheerleader practice, chastising a girl for being cut from the squad for gaining a few pounds. "I guess that cheeseburger mattered more to you than the Spirit Squad, huh, Becky?"
Ya know, if we had been in a government-rigged bear market for the past five years, CNBC wouldn't even exist anymore. Bear markets tend to be over all too quickly, but I distinctly remember at the depths of the 2008/2009 bear market that Jim Cramer distinctly said without any qualification that he would tell anyone he cared about to stay out of equities for - - and I'm not making this up - - "the next five years."
I'm weary of the female business "journalists" being hired for their pretty faces and bra sizes. I'd much rather have a woman that looked like Marlon Brando ask insightful, probing, and thought-provoking questions. They don't have to pander to their guests, but surely there are ways one can draw meaningful ideas from smart people besides bullying them.
Oh, and if there's one thing I wish I could have shorted, it's CNBC viewership. Even with this phony bull market, CNBC is in a free-fall. Once the next bear market begins, I imagine CNBC will simply close up shop completely. Then any questions of the existence of a munificent God can finally be settled.

Why attack an airhead? Bill's better than that, so airheads win in their mollusk slime path, so what. ? He's just visiting, she lives there.
Try kindness and sympathy for fools that don't control you.
CNBC ratings would improve overnight if they'd dump Joe Kernan, MCC and that insufferable Brian character. All 3 are not even close to being as intelligent as they think they are about even basic financial issues and Kernan, in particular, has all the maturity of a 6 year old. And for gawds sake tell Santelli to stop screaming.
Please add the Aussie screamer, Mandy, to that list. Sheesh, my ears need a break!
She has the sort of face you never get tired of kicking.
Wait, "Jackie DeAngelis Blows?" I thought blowing was good. You know, a good thing. If you want to criticize her, then say "Jackie DeAngelis Doesn't Blow."
" I'd much rather have a woman that looked like Marlon Brando ask insightful, probing, and thought-provoking questions."
There are two: Consuelo Mack and Silvia Wadwha. Try finding them on television now.
"The Wild One" Marlon Brando or "The Score"?
I'd trade 10 Jackie's for one Silvia Wadhwa. That was one intelligent broad. She had to go.
The CNBC viewer chart goes to show that bubbles deflate back to where they began.
At what point are you willing to concede that you failed to recognize the laws of sound monetary policy no longer apply in this new paradigm of fraud and deceit.
It definitely seems to me that many female financial reporters have gotten a lot bitchier lately. I can’t help but notice how many have an expression on their face which seems to say, “I’m really pissed I didn’t get assigned to the celebrity beat, world politics, or even field coverage of hurricanes and tornadoes instead of this shit.”

On the other hand, I can’t say I blame them.

I think a bear market would be good for their ratings. I know I would enjoy watching cnbc as the market deteriorates.
My favorite female on cnbc is that rather ordinary woman that reports from the Frankfurt exchange. In today's TV I don't know how they still have her on, but god bless her.
Jackie DeAngelis reminds us of another NBC anchorette, Jessica Savitch of the 1980's, who was famously quoted in the book, Golden Girl, detailing her short but spectacular rise up the NBC ladder......."who do I have to fuck to get out of here?"
Wonderful interview. I can't wait to see who they have on next! If I miss a program, is there someplace I can watch the reruns? CNBC has great entertainers asking probing questions. Their personnel is first rate. THe obviously hire based on intelligence alone. It seems like they all just know to be bullish! Smart people indeed. I never want to miss another show. I've been taking their advice since March 9, 2009 and because of thier insight I'm now a gazillionaire!!! I think I'll sell now.

Very agile Howie, very agile.
whaddya mean "gag on a nut"?
Yo Timmah.....WHAT IN THE WIDE WORLD OF SPORTS ARE YOU DOING WATCHING THAT SHIT-SHOW EXCUSE FOR PROPAGANDA SHITE SPEW....ANYWAY?
JESUS FUCK....YOU'RE BRAIN WILL TURN TO MOOSH.
I can see why shills come on that fucked up excuse for some "financial news channel"....BUT JESUS TITS MAN....
STOP.
How would you like to be married to a sell out? Ever see her twitter account? She has dog photos because she has'nt any kids. kinda sad to see a women give up children and love for a bunch of dirty paper....

Sacrifice infants, not yourselves.
Cnbc is an info marketing channel. I only like to get economic data at 8: 30 or to hear what Rick Santelli has to say.
The comments concerning good looks and bra sizes are spot on but if you ever get a chance to see an intelligent lady with a balance approch to the market see if you can get the Canadian business channel called BNN and look for Frances Horodelski
Please tell me that's not where spokesmodel Bridget Brown (the US Daawler) works...
Jackie DeAngelis at 45 will be childless, unmarried, living with a cat and more of a nasty cunt than see is now. She can't see what her own future so what makes her so smart ?
Ms. Deangelis: At what point are you willing to concede that your mouth is better used giving BJs than asking inane questions?
She has a mouth made for loving.
The bears will rip her clothes off and leave her to bleed her porfolio.
completely O/T but...
"I'm weary of the female business "journalists" being hired for their pretty faces and bra sizes. I'd much rather have a woman that looked like Marlon Brando ask insightful, "
as if Marlon Brando ever got paid for his amazing brain.
Wrongo.
Marlon Brando was an actor of genius.
He was naturally and with training an extraordinarily skilled actor.
But, he was a "genius" is no sense of the word whatsoever.
He was a Mimbo, 'til he became a Blimpbo.
You have no idea what you are talking about, My Naem.
Brando was an actor of genuis.

I am actually starting to feel bad for the demonically possessed crowd. They have no life and no free will of their own. They must do what their masters tell them to do. Sucks to be them.
Jackie isnt too bright. I love when she interviews Peter Schiff and he schools her on common sense economics. She tries to ambush him too but he doesent fall for it and just laughs it off.
Who is Fleckspam?
Who is GS' biggest US client?
Who is GS' biggest client?
Presstitute!
nice 'toon soft porn ! hell yeah ! but, a nipple would make it all that much better - just one is good
I have to worry about ratings because people view this site at work :-(
It was just right, just like it was.
Great work.
My problem with Jackie DeAngelis and every other Wall Street shill on CNBC is that they are a bunch of back traders. They look at history and act like they personally prescribed and created it with certainty. Anyone can criticize Fleckenstein in retrospect for stepping out and missing the stock market rise. But, can Jackie honestly say “I told you five years ago with certainty the market was going to ramp 200%”? No, she can’t, and she didn’t, any more than she saw the 2008 crash coming before it happened. She and the rest of her kind were busy babbling about everything but that when it happened, just as they do now when they have no idea what’s going to happen next week, let alone five years from now.
Let’s face it, if Jackie could see the future any better than Bill Fleckenstein, as she implies while berating him to raise viewer ratings, she would be a multi-billionaire running her own private investment firm. Maybe Jackie should have one of her CNBS colleagues interview and berate her on Monday for her failure to do that. Or, maybe she should interview and berate herself, since she’s obviously better at that than anyone else. I bet that would get ratings up.

As I taught for years in my Basics of Investing courses about the fucking media;
"THE MEDIA IS REAL GOOD TELLING YOU WHAT WAS....
LOUSY AND USUALLY DEAD WRONG TELLING YOU WHAT WILL BE."
Bill missed the five year rise in the stock market (so did I for that matter... I am all into metal (precious, not heavy) and my farm... silly me) is that he underestimated the criminality of a group of demonic thugs who were willing to completely plunder a civilization... not only killing the goose who laid the golden eggs, but the sodomizing her for for those last few dregs of pleasure.
We all have an idea of where this is going to end... I say have an idea, as we can't be entirely certain having bought ourselves a can of whoop-ass the contents of which are not entirely known.
As I have written many times now... the perfect storm... disease, war, and economic collapse... If only we could start with an old fashion Salem type barbecue just to kick things off...
The alchemists are all in - that is the one thing that must always be in focus as you hear the howls of "Winning!" from the cheerleaders. I missed the "rocket shot" as well, but it was a conscious decision in response to TOTUS (he of the infamous "Profits/Earning" ratio) declaring "now would be an excellent time to get into the stock market". I decided then and there:

It's up to him to decide how he wants to make his profit. It's important to understand that he didn't "miss out on anything". any professional trader with money and accounts can short the market crash and make just as much money in 90 days, with no risk whatsoever, that these people have by being extremely lucky; and against the odds. Waiting with your cash for the :"sure thing" is not called "missing out"; it's called mature trading wisdom. Only better on a sure thing is very good policy.
+1,000...well said
While the interviewer should not have been such a condescending bimbo, the questions about why a professional money manager got it wrong are fair. Fleck has been through this many times, and he knows that he will be "ambushed", especially on that channel.
When the market tanks, I expect the interviewers to grill the bulls with "why couldn't you see this bubble 3.0?" Then, we won't be discussing the attitudes of the interviewers, we will be laughing at the interviewee, especially if their answer is "I don't care".
When the market finally tanks, the cheerleaders won't be grilling the bulls, they'll be 'calling the bottom' for years, until the very last capitulation selloff where they finally advise their viewers (if there are any) to 'get out of the market'.
"I'd much rather have a woman that looked like Marlon Brando ask insightful, probing, and thought-provoking questions."
Tim, don't give up so easily! Lauren Lyster was insightful enough - and easy on the eyes. Really, a Marlon Brando look-alike...the horror!
OldTrooper,
I was just thinking about Lauren Lyster. Well pointed out. Very pretty and very smart, it was a shame that Capital Account ended and she wound up at Yahoo.
DavidC
yeah...but LL sold out to Yahoo....must have some big dicks there...among the gays who are pushing the homo agenda
all true...............
