Hi Michelle,
Hope you don’t mind. Your anchor skill and question technique are great. I’ve learned a few things reading between lines in guest responses, especially from professional Wall Streeters. Michelle, your style of questioning brings out possibly real answers from the guests. Making my own decisions on investments has been very helpful, for which I thank you.
Question: Will you ever have Warren Buffett and/or Elon Musk on?
Michelle is so thoughtful, intelligent and to watch her interview guests and push back on the real issues is what’s hard to find elsewhere. All while reporting the actual news. I learn so much from her questions and the guests she commands. I admire her knowledge and skills. She’s a breath of fresh air with personality.
Michelle ROCKS!
I watch your 3 – 4 news clips easily per week on YouTube, mostly for more Crypto news and any economic news. The way you report always catches my attraction. Keep up the great work!
If only she liked men….
Good teeth…period.
Another regurgitater of ‘facts’, not knowledge. same old, same old. Will soon find her shipping magnate and disappear.
What’s her onlyfans?

Wow, Michelle is even brighter than her smile & stellar credentials!

A New prospective. Refreshing outlook. Good job Michelle Makori.
