Michelle Caruso-Cabrera's Nipples are Showing on CNBC

The Senor Slim interview clip I witnessed this evening sparked interest. It's no mistake the man made so much wealth. He seems shrewd, cool, and calculating even while walking unassumingly behind Michelle. It's good to see such a fish on CNBC from another country.

Kudos to all who landed him. MCC as usual put it all together, and it's only a Wednesday.

Andrew, and Phil's discussion of the auto industry at length causes me to think about what Willie Durant might be doing in his grave. Can his ghost reappear?
He did it several times while alive. Once when he was ousted by GM, Durant teamed up with a French race car driver named Chevrolet. Of course it's a different world since then. Perhaps the industry needs a "crazy man" with small ideas about doing away with dealerships to save it.

Again, I feel proud for some reason on this day. CNBC, your reporter, has indeed arrived!

"Market Visions from a Duck Blind"

I awoke on this morn with a dot in my eye. With hopes
of soon many ducks to spy.
The coffee hot straight out of my pot, kept my hand warm as I drove to the best of the best hunting spot.

Into the boat went the Benelli, and rounds for the shooting feast. No time to waste, I tested the wind. Then, decoys spread out off to the East.

I rowed with a stroke unlike that of a regatta type as the weeds fell off the oars with every water poke.

To the blind I hopped, ankle in pain, fowl in the air.
But where are the ducks? Please, let there be ducks!

I see swarms of red-winged black birds, and sea gulls, and a few geese high, and away. The reeds browned, wild rice wistfully bent, the marsh still alive, yet, somehow so November.

Some ducks fly over, but way too high for a shot. Off again to the East appears a fluffy white cloud with the sun behind it shining rays of God's presence. The ducks fly into the pillow.

Alas, it's a bluebird day. After a long wait, and no shot taken, I collect my belongings, unload the Benelli, bring in the decoys, and depart to my next sporting play.

Markets happen like duck hunting. Some times, the conditions exist for excellent stock shooting. Other days of the bluebird happen in the markets as well.

The fluffy clouds in the distance like the anchors of CNBC help to make the days worth the hunt. Oh, the clouds on my screen make the day brighter, and fun.

With a dot on my small i,

Cocoa, sugar, and coffee always bring out the best. Today, the Power Lunch show discussed the future of each a bit. I did not know cocoa only grew within 5 kilometers of the equator. I'm interested to see the North side of each of the above listed commodities.

All of the anchors of the show appeared in professional attire. Of course, my bias leans once again to the lady in the super purple dress.

Unknowing, overpaid pundits continually spout off on CNBC with reckless abandon. Currently, I'm listening to several discuss taxes, the deficit, and the Democrats.

IT ALL BOILS DOWN TO THE STRENGTH OF THE DOLLAR FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS!!!

Dollar strength will again lead to a major decline in oil to perhaps even $36 over the coming 6 months. This decline in energy prices will assist massively to stimulate the overall MAIN STREET economy. "Dah Prez don't come from Texas anymore."

The proposed stimulus package, and the tax cut for the middle class may not cost as much as the previous conception quoted.

Volker! Volker! Volker!

How wonderful to see Michelle broadcasting live from the windy city of Chicago today!

The Power Lunch Show today dealt us many interesting syllogisms. I can only issue but one statement referencing my favorite financial reporter; "WOW!"

...isleepwell...

At one point during the Power Lunch Show on this Veteran's Day, MCC stated she was tired of giving history lessons. To paraphrase, she understands where the economy has been, she wants to know from guests where the economy is headed.

Many of the guests on CNBC point to the housing crisis, and declare getting it to bottom out will turn this economy around. While I agree with many of these people, a much clearer, and discernible answer lies in the cost of energy.

At one point in the life, I was given a token coin by the Chief of Transportation of the US Army. On the coin it says, "Nothing Happens Unless Something Moves."
Energy costs affect many more Americans than do mortgages. Many people, wealthy and poor alike rent as opposed to own housing. The costs of energy effects more people directly. As energy prices deflate a huge boost to this economy will ensue.

How can energy prices get lowered? Energy prices will get lowered by continuing to strengthen THE DOLLAR FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS! An almost certain positive indicator for our economy overall will happen when/if Bedouin tent making futures increase substantially as Middle Eastern countries suspend plans for capital construction projects.

"Those who forget history are destined to repeat it."

Happy Veteran's Day!

Paul Ryan represents me in Congress. Thank you CNBC for allowing him to visit your Power Lunch Show on this day. As a General Motors facility is slated for closure within his First District, I would like to have heard something referencing his thoughts on a loan package for the auto industry.

Again, thank you for allowing Paul on your show!

Chicago's Michigan Avenue appeared splendid yesterday. However, it was missing a reporter with a red coat, and a red hat.

The Power Lunch Show on this day had no Michelle. And, I thought, "another day without sunshine." After the show, I went about my business, and did the dentist appointment thing. Yeah...no cavities! I decided to treat myself to a yummie cheeseburger, and soda.

Upon arriving at home, I turned on the screen to "sweet sunshine" on the Closing Bell. The lady in black, and gray made it a truly happy day in spite of all the dismal market performance.

The Russell 2k looks appealing to me at the 330 level. Investors need to take advantage of these uncertain times. Find your thrill on the R2k hill. If you don't do it, a brother or sister will!
