Serious traders with a day job are probably scrambling for their DVR remote right about now, as CNBC has made the decision to cancel the 8pm EST rerun of Fast Money (the only show on the network where you might get info worth trading on) and replace it with a nightly installment of Suze Orman’s preachy middle-class-debtor financial advice on expelling your financial demons or whatever the hell.

Last night’s episode of Suze was on while I was at the gym and I peeked over just long enough to see a ‘case study’ where someone had a $20K car loan (but respectable other income and assets) and wanted to buy a $2K tag heuer watch. I would’ve said pay off the depreciating asset sitting in your driveway, but Suze gave the watch the nod, maybe because the economy needs her to encourage a little spending right about now.
