Quote from protrader914:
Sylvain needs to understand and appreciate the jungle he enters before beating his chest. Perhaps he is a smart guy and perhaps he sees the world through his holier-than-though perspective, but he can't hide behind his pocket-protector while a panel member of the CNBC's "who's who". In street smarts, Kramer and crew have the advantage, but Kramer is a showman and the rest of the staff do tend to wear "rosy" glasses.....then again, they all read from the teleprompter so they simply follow the ad dollars...
That presumes that he would have been a frequent or recurring guest. My guess is that he had a dislike for the network prior to appearing on the segment and just used his 2 minute allotment to take a few shots and get on with it. He also knew there was nowhere near enough time to actually explain the minute details of the transaction, nor would anyone really understand what he was saying anyway.
