CNBC favors Robertson Stephens over viewers in CVGP report. They held their report of today's biggest mover throughout the morning. . .to the point that it was suspect! Huge pre-market gainer totally ignored by CNBC. Heaviest early volume. . . ignored by CNBC. Highest percentage gainer in the AM. . .ignored by CNBC. No report until 13:10pm. . why? I believe they "held up" their comments on the request of the Robertson Stephens anal-yst. . . who was most likely heavily short. . . .and who was most likely "working on a report". By the time this report on CVGP was reported by CNBC, half the day was gone. . .Tom Costello mentions CVGP's meteoric rise on $100 million in new sales, as reported by the company. . . .then immediately read the report from "Robbie Stephens" anal-yst, who claims that "he believes the $100 million was previously reported and that his estimate is that the company has only received $5 million in new sales." The stock tanked immediately. It now appears to viewers that CNBC and Robertson Stephens may have worked together in a beautifully orchestrated effort. . . which allegedly resulted in driving the price of CVGP down 1/2 point immediately after the report at 13:10pm today. Credibility is vital to news reporting! And get this. . . . Robertson Stephens initiated coverage of CVGP 2 days ago! By ignoring the CVGP news when it was released around 8 am, then ignoring the 40% rise and incredible volume, both in pre-market and open market, it appears to viewers that CNBC crossed the line from reporting the news "as it comes out". . . . and rather selectively favored certain news over other news. And if that is shown to be what they did, then it is market manipulation. . . plain and simple. And if they did it this one time, then how often does it occur? SEC. . . .are you there? Rande Is
