UPDATE II: The WSJ's MarketBeat blog pulled the "Mr. Gaffen" comment below. As David Letterman reputed to Dan Rather: "What up Dog?"*
Well that's a thousand DJIA points. I attempted to congratulate David Gaffen at MarketBeat but didn't get a print on the comment. I'll try a less direct method:
Mr. Gaffen,
Congratulations are in order. It appears, based on the 1:06 p.m. timestamp, that we are up 1000 DJIA points since your Mar. 17 "Abby Joseph Cohen" market call.

Because we had the advantage of combining your call with our proprietary "What's on T.V." Timing Model (backtested to February) we were able to make the "Buy" call intraday, at DJIA 11,806.

| 5) | His "if Jack Nicholson did the news" was barely funny the first time |
| 4) During broadcast, answers his cell phone, "What up dog?" |
| 3) | Attended a recent fundraiser wearing swan dress |
