I must not have expressed myself clearly.

People who invest in the market are basically gambling. If they lose, then that's part of the game.

In the segment this morning, they started out, IMHO, talking about the average investor who may be looking at trying to cover shorts that may cost him/her thousands of dollars. I thought they were going to continue a serious conversation on this topic. Instead they started playing a song about getting off the floor (I think that was it--I listen to rock n roll and this was definitely disco). I simply didn't feel it was appropriate.

Now as my posts to the all serious CNBC Hunks thread will attest, I do have a sense of humor and I do like these guys. I just felt and still feel that the music (and specifically that music) at that point in the report was inappropriate.

Sorry, that's just how I feel.
