Appreciate the general point, and don’t know about Donny Deutsche, but Fast Money is probably the best show on CNBC.Â The markets were going crazy the week Scoble appeared.Â It shouldn’t be a surprise that they didn’t have patience for ideas that *might* pan-out in the next year, plus. In a way this is just saying that the best anticipated returns may not be the most socially valuable ones.
