(1) Rhatigan. If I could fire only one, this would be the one. He is a bumbling, stuttering, shouting, interrupting egomaniac. I am tired of his fucking "trade schools" every 73 seconds on Fast Money explaining to me what he thinks caused the fucking financial crisis. Do you trade, Dillon? No? OK, you're outta here.
(2) Gasparino. CNBS has made this clown the daily 3:30 sideshow. I am still perplexed why--with all his dodgy, questionable reporting--that he is not sitting in an 8x8 cell somewhere. Anyone remember Dorfman?
(3) Cramer. Cramer admitted how he and his wife made their money in "Confessions." He intentionally, willfully manipulated analysts to up/downgrade companies that he was frontrunning. This is a major, major SEC violation. Can you say prison? "My job is to help you..." BS. Cramer also touts his many years of managing a hedge fund (his contract must specify he do this at least 5 times per show) yet he will only provide ONE statistic of his hedge fund's performance: the compounded annualized return over a 10-year period. Keep in mind this was during the 90's; EVERYONE was killing it in the latter half of the decade. I suspect his temperment was a real barrier to consistent returns and he had 2-3 good years and 7-8 subpar years. I would like to see his annual returns year by year. It is also extremely difficult to dig up current returns on his ActionAlertsPlus portfolio. Leads me to the same conclusion.
