Can anyone decipher what Jeff Macke is seeking to communicate here?:

http://www.cnbc.com/id/15840232?video=11....

Is he drunk?

Then again, maybe he's the relative voice of sanity on Wall Street at this point.

I'm so depressed about outsourcing I called the suicide hotline and got a call center in Pakistan. They got all excited and asked me if I could drive a truck.

I can sooo totally relate to what Macke is saying....he IS the voice of reason, always has been, IMO.

He's disgusted and tired of the games, can't you tell?

The video works for me. Macke is out of his mind"the car people the car people". I've followed him for a while, and never saw anything like this.

I bet he's intoxicated.

wow. i'm with Boz...thats no 3 martini lunch...Macke must have hit the bong about 15 minutes before that interview...you can almost see the smoke still rising from beneath his desk. he was totally stoned. what 'car people' was he referring to? guess he was trying to talk to the BAC people but....huh?
can we say drug testing in his future? then again, with this market you might as well trade high since nothing really makes logical sense anymore.

Wow, Macke is off the reservation, big time.

I think he's expressing the insanity he sees in the BAC stock issue - will watch again, hilarious.

"I'm trying to be the voice of reason, guiding you to the light"

"I've honestly dismissed this entire game as idiocy the second I started talking to car people -- that only occured to me this morning..."

"I dismissed BAC as lunatics about 8 months ago and I seem(ed) to understand the world then, but now either the lunatics are running the game or..."

Not a very smooth delivery, but I really enjoy seeing popular talking heads going totally off the wall. What's the count up to now with just cnbc? 5? 6?

It's justifiably immoral to try to deal in a moral fashion with an immoral entity.
