RE:RE:Heres how BNN scum avoid thier history flopsIn reference to the comments about BNN and the hosts, all I can say is that Hainsworth is an idiot. He's all show for the camera, trying to sound like a funny goof in a bowtie, but the reality is that he's just a stupid goof.
As a host of a business show, I would expect more knowledgeable and insightful commentary, but none of this comes from Hainsworth. I still remember a few years back when Petronas was hinting about taking over Progress, and the stock was gyrating up and down over whether or not the government would allow a takeover. Rob Lauzon was Hainsworth's guest, and after a viewer called in about Progress. Hainsworth looks at the chart and comments about the stock's volatility, and, in a confused fashion, asks Lauzon if he can offer any comment about why the stock is so volatile... and, as the camera zooms in on Lauzon's face, all I can notice is a look that suggests his thinking "are you serious??" I always thought Hainsworth was a goof and that pretty much sealed it, but for yet one other event.
I live in Toronto, and I'm out on the Danforth at a restaurant with friends, when who should drop in, but none other than Michael Hainsworth with his wife, young kids and another family in tow. Upon being seated, Michael acted like a snotty brat with the staff... not impressive! Also, he has quite the bald spot going on in the back of his head... so the make-up artists at BNN must use couvre to cover the top of his head, or special lighting to hide the glare.
BNN's Market Call is a good place to get ideas about different stocks, but one can find a recap on stockchase.com, without wasting the time to watch the show.
There's a few BNN guests that I will watch, like Burroughs, Donville... and a few others whose track record is commendable. In fact, I got a kick out of Donville's recent guest spot... a few subtle put downs on some of Hainsworth's dorky comments. Right on, Donville!
