I guess FOX could use him should he be kicked to the curb!

I'm sure Roger Ailles has already contacted Santelli with long term employment offer if that scenerio plays out.

You mistakenly associate the community of actual traders with those sorry bastards in investment banking who send the orders to the various exchanges.

When you know whereof you speak (I shan't hold my breath, waiting), why, then, speak right up.

Another effing moron, who knows NOTHING (quite evidently) about the actual workings of markets. Santelli, et al., puts HIS OWN capital at risk, not anyone else's.

You, sir, are a disgrace to both capitalism and, frankly, Free Republic.

Come get me, boyo, if you've the guts. No rants, just facts -- if you can manage that condition.

It didn’t turn out the way the commercials do, he outmatched them in that exchange and shut them up!

"I may have to start tuning in to CNBC to catch Santelli and his buddy."

Agree as I may, here's a little poop.

Santelli is a "reporter", the others are ""on air personalities". Santelli wasn't supposed to editorialize.

I saw another episode where the "financial beat" reporter was just reporting. Liesman, a personality, started to challenge some bias he perceived, the guy said, "I'm just a reporter. I'm not here to argue. I can go somewhere else." Liesman BTW is a leftist. He used to have a pernament spot at CNBC until he decided to open his own management firm at the top of the market. And is now a part time contributer (a lot more often now that the market is tanking). No wonder he likes Hussein's bailouts.

The problem here though is the messenger. Santelli is still a Wall Street dirt bag hocking derivatives. Hello. Mortgage credit swaps were derivatives. It was credit swaps that took all these banks down. Santelli is selling toxic debt.

Santelli has been good for a long time on CNBC...he is a highlight.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

She got a History?

[Flycatcher]

Apparently so. See Mad as He$$’s post # 22

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Thanks for the info.

Maybe her pardner knew her History and didn’t want Her continuing with her interrogation of Rick’s fellow trader.

She seemed to be protesting at the end of the Video clip.

I love Rick Santelli, how awesome is he!!!!!!!!! Great Video. She is a bitch.

[rabidralph]

Wow. So only “trained journalists” should be able to comment on live TV? Go, Rick, go!

No, I do not mistake the world of proprietary traders with that of the large trading houses such as Goldman et al. I understand that for at least the last 25 years that the laws concerning equities trading have been written by and for the big trading firms and not the independent trader.

However, the point of my post was not to state that Santelli was wrong, when if fact he is correct regarding his assessment of the mortgage bail out. I personally own several pieces of real estate and any such move by the Feds would only serve to devalue my holdings and am am ticked.

I was also ticked when the Bush Bail Out if Banks and Wall Street was passed and when the Obama Pork Bill was passed.

And while each of the above mentioned moves towards American Socialism ticks me off, I find it interesting that far too many people look at the Party ID of the people that are forcing Socialism upon America.

Here, it seems to some, a Democratic move to Socialism is devastating, while a GOP move to Socialism is not offensive or worthy of protest.

We agree completely that Santelli was spot on (and about 40 years too late, but that's hardly his fault).

Further, we agree completely that socialism is A) evil and B) completely fungible as to its espousers. Matters not at all whether the bastard in question has a (D) or an (R) after his name.

Rick Santelli’s dissent with GE’s BSNBC/NBC will land him a sweet job at FOX!
