Hey RT's,
Remember Joe Granville and the beginning of this bull market in 1982?
He was THE stock market guru at that time.  It was the reversal of his 
market call to sell that is credited (at least by some) as triggering this 
unprecedented bull move we are in.
So...why was Arch Crawford on CNBC anyway?
Good trading,
Bo.
