I'd like to see Macke cut for Tim Seymour. Seymour really knows his stuff about international stocks especially Emerging Mkts. Macke is a little too arrogant and wastes air time trying to be funny when he's not.

Thank you Jeff Macke for your integrity.  Don't jump onto Karen Finerman's band wagon of selling her personnel criteria (e.g. Crocs).  I trust your judgment Jeff.

drase obviously doesn't understand Macke and his vital contribution to the show.

I like Macke - he adds a lot of wit to the show. I like the purple crayon story - he's right.

Jeff Macke is annoying as hell. He's loud, talks too fast, and he's always trying to be funny, and fail horribly at that.

Get him out!

Macke is getting more angry by the minute.  He clearly doesn't like Seymour...maybe he hears Seymour/Terrnova's footsteps behind him.

Maybe he's more annoyed that Seymor has been long Emerging Market Stocks all year; and is thus still down 75% or so after today's rally?

Or it's the footsteps idea. One or the other.

Pay attention to Jeff Macke - The guy has NO agenda! - He tells it like it is and is as smart as a tack! - These markets are on borrowed time - most other pundits are pushing their agenda...they tell you to buy (meaning they are long) - or they tell you to sell - (meaning they are either short or want to get in on the low) - Jeff sees this fiasco for what it is... a fiasco! - The only way this rally sticks is if people believe earnings expectations are valid or low! - The economy and the market are in a death spiral,,,the bottom will be seen in 2010. I believe Macke see's this for what it is and gets very frustrated with much of the self-serving bullishness!

Take care - harlee

No way - keep Macke exactly where he is!  He's a great contributor to the show, entertaining as hell, but most importantly has a wealth of knowledge.  He's style can be perceived as being arrogant, but it's not!  The fact that he even teases himself when he puts in a bad trade is testiment to that fact.
 
To be completely frank, the days that he's not on the show make me want to fall asleep... the other people are great too, but they just don't have the 1001 miles per hour wit and knowledge flying at you.
 
Cheers!

Macke is by far the best one on the show.  When all these Wall Street mouth pieces come on the show and say buy, buy, buy, he's the only one with the balls to openly question (sometimes mock) them to their face.
 
I'm a big fan of Minyanville, for which he works during the day and posts online during market hours, and he and the crew at Minyanville called this whole financial debacle well ahead of time.  Granted, he wasn't the main one doing the calling (they have several better than him that write for Minyanville).  But he's still good to read, his columns can sometimes be hilarious; and definitely the best of the group on fast money.

Remember, Jeff Macke was the one who said (way back in Dec 2007) that he was "out".  Cashed out of the market and sitting on the sidelines because he thought it was too risky and crazy out there.  I love his humor.  He is always cautious on his calls.  If you can't keep up with his fast, witty banter--then you probably can't catch the quick ups and downs of this nutty market either.

I'm reaching the end of my rope with Macke's ranting digressions and pointless interruptions. It doesn't matter how right he is if you can't make out what his point is and he's stepped on another speaker. Same with Radigan and his three paragraph questions--the two of them together is a lost cause. I don't even bother DVRing any more. Put them on with Kudlow and let them all shout each other down.

Somebody needs to calm them both down or give them a comedy spot somewhere else.

Macke is the only one who doesn't push a pre-defined agenda.

He will tell a long he's wrong, right to his face, in real time.

The rest of the panel consistently argues against the trend in a bear market. They mostly recommend longs in a bear market. That is a fundamental trading error.

Macke is the only one worth following for investment ideas. Even if the idea is cash and the fetal position. 

He's RIGHT and that counts for everything.

If you don't like the delivery then read the summaries, but getting rid of him would deprive the show of its best trader.

I sometimes do not like Macke's Republican dogma based statements but he is good and perhaps a bit arrogant and that makes me to want to wacth the show.  You get rid of him and you are left with softies who tend to sugercoat the truth of what is going on.  I actually did not like the treatment he got on Friday.  It seems to me weaklings are ganing up on him beacuse he has been right and uncompromising in his position and statments.  Macke is what we need, someone withh guts, not the same old talking heads.  If you want to get rid of someone then you should really consider Karen.

Jeff Macke is great, with Dylan pulling up a close second.
He's incredibly intelligent, (oozing ivy leage with every word) but also knows a thing or two about the markets.

Sometimes, I'm not interested in any stock picks (sidelined for the time being) I love to listen to Jeff for his sidebars and analogies.

I'm a fan of everyone on Fast Money. I really enjoy the energy and continual banter. I can't believe how fast Pete, Tim, Dylan and Jeff can talk. They have a good "bench" as well with Jon Najarian, Terranova, Seymour, Zach Karabell. The guests are usually superior as well.

But most of all, Macke is amazing. He is fearless!! He has taken on Buffett, Paulson and many others.I always know where he's coming from. I keep the DVR running so I can go back and replay the sometimes outrageously funny things he comes up with.

"... while the hippies hold hands trying to levitate the pentagon"  Yeah, keep him. Sometimes distracting, but worth it when he's on point.
