39. CNBC ran it, and I resent your comment

about the person(s) who approve production over there. That person is one of integrity who comes back to his alma mater to do what he can for students who are now working in the broadcast studio he himself put together--as a student.

As far as the producers go, it is amazingworld.org. Looks like a good site to me--one that puts out stories on social issues.

You say: This man is not a "Wall Street expert"; he specializes in the secondary art market, as noted.

Furthermore, Edelman does have a background in Wall Street finance, even though he has a firm that deals in art. Here is what Wikipedia has to say about him:

The son of a New York real estate investor, Edelman graduated from Bard College. In 1961, he worked for Sanford I. Weill at Carter Berlind Potoma & Weill where he focused on purchasing and turning around distressed companies.[1] He founded Mack, Bushnell and Edelman in 1969, and served as CEO.[2] Edelman’s Wall Street businesses included investment banking, money management, and derivatives trading. In 1988, he taught a course called "Corporate Raiding - The Art of War" at Columbia Business School, using as his textbook Sun Tzu's The Art of War.[3] The character of Gordon Gekko in Wall Street was based in part on Edelman.[4]


Your post seems like it was designed to discredit the OP with partial facts.
