I don't think that link would be appropriate for the article. —Elipongo (Talk|contribs) 06:05, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi, Guys: "Fast Money" is one of those shows where the word "guys" is repeated endlessly, guys. You know, where a group of women is called "guys" too? Well, guys, I hope the guys here like the guys on "Fast Money," guys, and all the guys who watch the guys on the show, guys. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.44.149.32 (talk) 01:25, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Any more information on Strazzini leaving?

I'm unable to find any additional information on Strazzini's departure, but I'd like to see a better article referenced when it comes available.

Well if you check out CNBC's Fast Money page, you'll see his profile was pulled as well (http://www.cnbc.com/id/15838499) Vikramsidhu 11:52, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Which tells us nothing. It also looks like someone rolled back the edit, which I did not do, about Strazzini's departure. Wikipedia fails again.

why did this happen....i cant find an explanation and would really like one

Fast Money (CNBC)Tim Strazzini, an original panelist, was let go by the network on May 18, 2007.

• • • You cannot find additional information on Strazzini's departure because Wikipedia is wrong. Strazzini had requested a voluntary leave of absence and has not been 'let go' by the show. It is still undetermined whether he will return.

>> Here's the real "scoop" -- After Strazzini left, apparently he first posted a few sentences at a blog saying that he felt Fast Money was taking away too much time from his family and all that and that was his reason for leaving. But the real story seems to be that he feels he wasn't being treated well at the network (i.e. he wasn't being treated as the "star" he thought he was). He left CNBC and was seen on Fox the next day. CNBC was upset because of Strazzini's non-compete clause, so they sued and tried to prevent him from joining Fox before his non-compete was up. CNBC lost. Strazzini came on Fox again. CNBC sued again. CNBC lost -- again. And now Strazzini appears on Fox once in a while, and all indications point to him being on the new Fox Biz channel.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Fast money 010307b.standard.jpg

Image:Fast money 010307b.standard.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Few problems in the 'segment' section

In the 'segments' section, a few things are listed that really only apply to graphics within the show. Two examples would be 'trade school' and 'the takedown,' which generally pop up as graphics during discussions in the 'Word on the Street' segment (and others). If Wikipedia lists list those, it might as well include 'next trade,' 'the trade is' and the 'I'm a (buyer/seller)' graphics. Graphic stuff like that should be integrated into a (new) section about the heavy use of graphics on the show.

Also, we completely dropped the ball on 'Fast Money Madness,' an annual segment and tournament held at the end of March and beginning of April (in a tribute, it would seem, to March madness) In Fast Money Madness, they take 64 top stocks and pick the winner for the next 12 months
