The Casone Exchange

Best Guess: Sarah Palin Edition

Cheryl Casone — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 22:42:36 +0000

This morning I gave a speech at Pfizer's New York headquarters for the Contingency Planning Exchange. It is a great group that I addressed last year, and I was struck by how different things were just one year ago when I first gave their keynote. We were in the middle of a financial crisis, the [...]

Best Guess: Jailbird Edition

Cheryl Casone — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 20:47:10 +0000

Much of the show today was focused on the stunning insider trading charges surrounding Raj Rajaratnam and Galleon Group. What was believed to be $20 million in profits is now $40 million. It is actually easy for me to believe that this took place, but of course the courts will have to decide if the [...]

Best Guess: Election Night Edition

Cheryl Casone — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 02:53:39 +0000

Update to this post......my best guess already proven wrong! AP is calling Chris Christie the winner in New Jersey. It is Election Day for a few states and counties, and especially here in New York and New Jersey, it's shaping up to be a good dogfight! Especially in New Jersey, it is too tough to say [...]

High Noon on Fox Business

Cheryl Casone — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 18:25:36 +0000

As this country faces a fiscal disaster, we have had one of the most interesting ideas for a solution this week on Fox Business. If you've been watching, we just wrapped our special series "High Noon": a look at the world of medical marijuana. Both sides were represented in the debate. We spoke with doctors, politicians, advocates, [...]

Best Guess: Yankees Edition

Cheryl Casone — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 19:23:25 +0000

It would be better for me to paste the video and I will, but today's best guess was cut short thanks to Alexis jumping on the air with her New York Yankees jacket. Tom pointed out it was ten sizes too big, but she looked great, and since I have no real baseball team loyalty, [...]

Best Guess: Before the Apple Bit

Cheryl Casone — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 20:33:19 +0000

Ok, so again, had some techinical difficulties so this post is somewhat outdated, but I feel like the debate over Apple and its stock price will continue. They had a good quarter when they reported, but we all had our opinion about what they would tell us. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised [...]

Best Guess: Catching Up With Balloon Boy

Cheryl Casone — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 20:28:22 +0000

Sorry about "bloggis interruptus" but I have been having problems with Wordpress on my work computer. I normally update you right after the show! I'm blogging live from the old NYC apartment, and I wanted to post our best guess segment from last Friday. I could not resist a best guess on "balloon boy" from Colorado, [...]

Best Guess: Senate Finance Edition

Cheryl Casone — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 21:25:07 +0000

I feel like my entire morning was waiting, waiting, waiting on a decision from the Senate Finance Committee today. When you sit back and think about it, it is going to be months of debate and frustration for everyone involved before we have any movement on health care. I'm going to post our interview with [...]

Best Guess: Grandpa Stuart

Cheryl Casone — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 18:15:41 +0000

STUART VARNEY: By the time my new granddaughter is an adult, the deficits and the debt that is owed in this country will be astronomical. CHERYL CASONE: I hope Stuart Varney’s new grandchild doesn’t look like this. Congrats Stuart! JIM AWAD: I am sticking with my bet on Asia and India and Brazil. Plus big US multinationals [...]

Banking on Brazil

Cheryl Casone — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 17:46:00 +0000

We had the CEO of a Brazilian rum company on today. See the video below, and I've also included the ingredients and directions to make his signature cocktail, the "Rio 16". They sell the rum here in the United States. I'm not a rum fan, so you will have to make this [...]
