>>>>>What is CNBC and what is "Squak Box" anyway?<<<<<
CNBC is a cable channel in the USA dedicated to Financial programming and news. It monitors and reports on the Stock Markets live and conducts interviews with Market Analysts and Company Represetatives throughout the day.

What it all boils down to, is that you get some talking head on CNBC and then literally 2 minutes later the stock they were talking about reacts- usually Bullish since 90% of their content is geared towards pumping Up stocks.

Basically, CNBC succeeds in getting a whole herd of Newbie Morons to buy lots of stock in companies about which they know little or nothing about.
