Fast Money/Fast “Explanations”

The “Lone Wolf”? The “Commissioner”? Sounds like CNBC wants a little Cramerification of its prime time line-up with its new Fast Money show. It’s pretty corny-sounding to me. Come watch CNBC, because we’re fun and animated. Maybe they’ll all have goatees soon! I shouldn’t be too sarcastic, I guess. After all, I’m probably going to watch it a couple times and see if it’s worth the time.

Speaking of fast, isn’t it a little fast to declare a broad-based rally, and a little dumb to think that it’s because of Morgan Stanley/FedEx earnings? Ok, I get it, there are a whole lot of people that are paid to “explain” market moves in real time, and the public expects an explanation of 146 dow points. Fine. I’ll probably be shorting it this afternoon. ;-)

(Don’t mind me. I’m just bitter because I had prepared to short a lot of stocks that rose all morning…)
