One of my favorite investment television shows CNBC's Fast Money has lost a valuable contributor Eric Bolling. Bolling's departure has been reported in media, including weblogs such as The Big Picture. I saw on CNBC today that Karen Finerman has replaced Bolling. While I think Finerman is a strong contributor—all the panelists are strong contributors—I respected Bolling the most of all the panelists. I found he gave a larger picture overview without the ancillary shouting and screaming. Because Bolling is a bull on commodities, I am sure that influenced my appreciation of him as well.
While I will still watch the show, it will not be the same with two of my favorite panelists now gone—Tim Strazzini and Eric Bolling. Dylan Ratigan does a terrific job as host of the show, though I wish he would interject a bit less. That said, I do give Ratigan a lot of credit for keeping the pace of the show moving along and explaining to the audience some of the more advanced topics. If you have not watched the show, try watching it for a week.
Update
Read my article where, on 11 September 2007, Dylan Ratigan comments on Karen Finerman's success.
