Khris, they've perfected the art of becoming part of the news they're covering. The thing that's funny about the vaunted "3 1/2 hour DOW 9000 special" is that no matter when or if the DOW closed above 9000, CNBC was still going to be broadcasting from 4 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. anyway. Instead of calling it Market-Wrap, Business Insiders, whatever, they pretty much managed to package their normal daily 3 1/2 post-close coverage as a 3 1/2 hour "special". It wasn't that the DOW 9000 event deserved 3 1/2 hours. It's just that it was the amount of programming time they had to kill. If you think about it, yesterday's 4-7:30 slot could have been called the "3 1/2 Hour DOW 8900 on the Way Down Special" <g> Good trading, Tom
