Haines rocks. Of all the anchors, his most reflects my investment personality. My beef on this one is that I know this stock inside and out and I can practically recite the 10Q from memory. Talking about laser vision stocks without mentioning the recent FTC dismissal is like talking about tobacco stocks without mentioning recent smoker's trials. Just plain negligent. Makes me wonder if they had that report on the shelf for a while and then just threw it in an open slot without bothering to update it. No matter. VISX went up and BEAM didn't do much so they seem to have little influence. That alone would concern me if I were program director of CNBC. Abelson's weekend Barron's columns move the market even if he is wrong.
