Let me comment about callers to CNBC's Stock talk. First let me say I personally HATE CNBC for helping fuel the massive complacency and peoples total obsession with the market. With that said, let me tell you about my efforts to call in. I have tried and tried numerous times to call in with no luck until recently. I did manage to get thru a few weeks back. The receptionist that answered, asked what my question was. I said I had a general market question. She said, "no, you need to have a specific question about a stock." So I mentioned a few stocks and she said they were not in the guests portfolio. She put me on hold and said she'd come back in a few minutes. I asked about a few more and she said no, not in his portfolio. SHE TOLD ME what his top 10 holdings were and to ask about one of those since that's what he was familiar with. So, that's how it works folks. So, you can get thru, but you need to cooperate. Sad but true.
