The best interviewer on CNBC

"Simon is set up to be the villain--which is why people either love him or hate him. But he plays his role very, very well. He's not afraid to call out CEOs and analysts who give shady answers to questions, and is not afraid to pounce on weakness. But most importantly, he's there for the little g Read more...

Has the courage to stand up to BS

Hobbs comes prepared and knows how to expose those who come with nothing but BS. I'm sure he's ticked off a few phoney's over the years. More power to him.

He's got the guts to stand up to the BS

A breath of fresh air who has the ntelligence and guts to say whet's on his mind and stand up to the "smooth" crowd of BS out there. Simon comes prepared and I enjoy watchng him take apart those who come with nothing.

Annoying as heck

I can't stand when this guy jumps on the boob tube. I know most of the CNBC crew is too stupid to know what they're talking about, but maybe it's just more noticeable when he's talking.

Pleasure to listen too

Simon is great commentator, very well-spoken, asks great, relevant questions and doesn't back down from anyone. Moreover, I believe him to be relatively honest with no hidden agenda

well spoken

I've seen Simon Hobbs on CNBC and also saw him as host of "The Leaders," a series of one-to-one interviews with Europe's business and political elite. He is really good, very well spoken, smart, confident and doesn't back down from people.

Englishman Tells It Straight

First caught Simon as a guest on Fast Money, where he angered the whole crew by telling them that the 2009 rally was a bogus, government-fueled rally. You can probably find the video on YouTube. Anyone who will take on the whole Fast Money crew without backing down is someone worth listening to...
