  • Disappointed

    Can Mellissa learn from contessa brewer a little bit? Contessa is a lower level host than Mellissa at CNBC but sounds so much wiser than Mellissa sounds so silly by shouting out her stupid opening everyday!

  • Aug 6 2026 Excellent show

    Fast Money is the best post market show, full stop. As a former trader it’s the best recap show and if one listens, the ideas lead to daily as well as long term profits.

  • Fast Money is the wrong name for this show. Change it to SHOW-BOATING PEACOCKS

    After the market session is over, if you need something to laugh, listen to these peacocks making snarky comments while pretending as if they are accurately analyzing stock markets.

    Find people competent in math chess and poker. These charlatans can’t risk manage let alone think tactically or strategically. Push more people to alternate channels. They assume listens are stupid and lack skill or internet
