Fast Money’s Jeff Macke Goes Mental

Don’t miss Jeff Macke’s incoherent response to Dennis Kneale last night. It’s odd.

    Macke is eccentric but certainly not crazy. His first comment was more so directed at Dennis Kneale, a perma-bull moron who makes foolish remarks on a regular basis, could not even speak coherently to begin the segment, and yet finds a way to still condescend to others smarter than he. Secondly, Macke tried to clarify (albeit not well) that he was frustrated with the market euphoria in running to believe in BoFA and other car manufacturers (i.e. people who have vested interests in shading the truth with numerous lies). I’ll have to admit I had to watch it a second time to realize what the source of Jeff Macke’s rant was. He is a grade a soap-boxer of Fast Money and a nice bear voice in recent market history. Sometimes he gets bullish for a trade but tends to bring the others back down to earth when they get ‘giddy’. Finerman is also more measured. No one is correct all the time but I would rather listen to people that don’t try to convince themselves of different realities on a daily basis. My 2 cents……

    Macke was a voice in the wilderness on FM. First, they lose Ratigan…now Macke. And the replacements are, in a word, lame. Like many TV shows, it had lightning in a bottle. But we all know how hard it is to contain lightning.

    I’d love to see Macke and Ratigan resurface somewhere, together. Would pay to see it.

    This is nuts! This whole network is an informercial for corporate america and those who sell us paper for cash.. Ratigan refused to keep selling stock for brokers and apparently upset some power-heavy capitalists, like advertisers for CNBC, blaming a “systemic failure”, meaning the US model of capitlism is broken, has failed, broken down, spent its last nickel, or rather gambled away OUR last nickel..

    Now Macke is gone? I have NO respect left for CNBC now.. apparently freedom of speech truly DOES “only belong to owners” as the US Gov’t said in siding with CBS in their censorship suit from the Smothers Brothers…

    THIS country has become a joke, a mockery of itself, No freedom left, NO money either now except the newly printed cash that corprations can get but not individuals..

    Goodbye, CNBC and FastMoney – now you truly have JUST THE CLOWNS remaining: Kudlow and Kramer, Klown Central (you have to mispell it, that’s more marketable!)

    .. the Jman..

    First off, Radigan was a true lightweight…the most irritating guy on CNBC. I have not missed him one bit. He just LOVED to hear himself talk, and all he did was respin what the guest just said. nothing lost there…

    But Macke…hate to see him go…but I have to say, it seems obvious to me that he was Under the Influence…if you get my drift.

    and like him or not, THAT is probably why he got whacked…he was incoherent…
