What she did with Vator.tv and Marketwatch was not ethical. It was a good move for her to separate herself from Marketwatch so both can individually maintain their image.

I have been a frequent reader of MarketWatch and a fan of Bambi for some time. I’ve alwasy wondered when will she start her own gig? She has the connection, fame, and what it takes to get it going.

You can’t fault her for working for herself. Most people at the bottom of their heart want to start their own gig if they can pull it off. Good for her.

You guys made her quit! Now I’ve got to watch all the uglies on the marketwatch videos. How disappointing…
