In an age where the news is propaganda, Mark Haines gave it to me straight, nearly every business day, for as long as I’ve been watching CNBC. I relied on Mark to cut through the bullshit, shoot down idiot guests, and comfort me during turmoil. He was a great anchor and will be missed immensly. I am especially appreciative of his work immediately following the 9/11 tragedies and during the financial crisis. No matter how bad things were, Mark was there, albeit dripping with sarcasm, to help me through the day.
I am saddened to share my birthday with the day of his demise. But, unfortunately, we all have to go sometime. It just sucks to see him depart so young. My condolences go out to his family. May the memories of him help get you through the pain.
How ’bout a late day rally?

Happy Birthday [muted] Mssr. Le Fly.
Glad you are only 35 and will be with us for many more decades.
Nice Fly. May be one of your best. Enjoy your day and have a drink to Mark this evening.
Happy Birthday Senor Fly! Let the rally begin!
rally , u call this acutally trading this day blows, pure nothingness, come on FLY dont shovel chit..
Take a look at commodity stocks.
Thumbs up on this post … Mark could be brutally frank and took no prisoners … the guy was always in the viewer’s corner … He will be sorely missed.
I am so saddened by his death. he was one of the few people in the financial community, after Mr fly that I trusted.
he will be missed.
Mark Haines always asked difficult guests the questions I would be screaming at the TeeVee. He will be missed. Rallye on Mark.
Happy Birthday Le Docteur
Watch the action in ZLC. The first major pullback in the coming weeks may be a prime opportunity to buy some more.
Caveat Emptor.
Just bought 200 shares of QLD for Mark.. Crying like a baby this morning, my wife thought someone in my family died.
While Mark pissed me off plenty of times… he was a great addition to CNBC. I will miss him dearly. My condolences to his family.
I like the rally idea. Do it for Mark!
Mark Haines was a good man.
Happy Birthday to you Fly, another good man.
Yeah, this was very sad news. Every time Haines grilled a guest (and he was probably the only guy on that channel who ever “grilled” anyone), you could see that sharp legal mind of his at work. Now I have to flip the channel over to Bloomberg two hours earlier each day, as Squawk is the last thing on that channel worth watching. (As an aside, I would’ve LOVED to have heard his off-the-record guess of the IQ of Bartiromo, lol).
About ten times higher than the imbecile Nicole Lapin.
would it be possible that the people that bought 3500 WNR june 17 calls were the same people who were short in size and knew they were going to cover?
Nice tribute. Though I think you’re off the hook for sharing your b-day with his passing: I believe he went last night.
On another note, entirely …… your WNR is growing! 😉
I will sadly miss Mark kicking some idiot to the curb…….been part of my trading days for more years then I care to post
Wonderful Video and post Fly. Thank you!
It’s a shame that this had to happen to Haines, and not Justin Beiber.
Will be missing his commentary tremendously.
