:roll:David Faber did an outstanding job of researching and interviewing on the Biz Nation specials. I would like to add that Maria Bartiromo did a beautiful job with the help of Jonathan Wald on a Greenspand Special......don't know if it got any recognition but, it sure should have.......Maria at her best.
