Add Walmart To The List

...of things I no longer care about.

This list would also include private equity, Dick Grasso, the Faber Report and the latest news on any of the trials or investigations.

My interest in these things could best be measured in micro-givashits*

Maybe someone at CNBC will see this?

*I need to footnote my buddy Roy on that one.

Well, according to the Faber report, Dick Grasso received payoffs from Walmart through an off-shore private equity fund.....so the investigation goes.

I'll buy those...my list includes Professor Jeremy Siegel, Google and "mildly inverted yield curves".

Actually I will always give Siegel a listen but, at Greg Newton pointed out in an email, CNBC seems to have a knack of showing a WisdomTree commercial either right before or right after he is on.

Isn't August and September usually a pretty tough time to keep investors glued to their TV sets? Right now, a lot of kids are going back to school, baseball is finally getting interesting and the pro football game is just getting started. Now if the CNBC female reporters would report in bikini's... Tom in Indy

First, in keeping with new technology it should be nano-givashits. Second, I think everyone has turned their brain and attention to other than markets until October.

Live in Tucson and wish to be where you are.

Anything with a political angle - boring! Which pretty much renders Kudlow moot. WalMart falls under this category. Politics generates a lot of heat so maybe they think it gets ratings.

Speaking of ratings, I do applaud the noticable increase in the number of babes. Even if they don't always have much to do. Watched one yesterday standing outside an airport for a couple hours. Don't remember the story even. . .

I'll throw you one thing I AM interested in and I think people should take more seriously - options backdating. That's really stealing from the shareholders of your own company and people are getting away with it. Passive shareholders are more passive than I thought.
