Your post is the wisest of the past several hundred. Most times people are so attuned to the TV (particularly CNBC!) that they forget who is paying the bills. Got to admit however, that CNBC can some time make a stock - like in ALSC's case when CNBC had a good coverage three days ago that ALSC is undervalued, since the book value is $ 21, ALSC was one of the few stocks that was up on the two down days for all tech stocks. Now that the earnings news is all over, most of August will be on the sidelines for majority of the stocks. AOL, YHOO, AMZN have seen their bottom recently and will tend higher soon! AOL is the one Lehman brothers called uncommon value recently. They are all the more correct with AOL at $ 97+.

CGarcia, I find it hard to agree with you on this score. MSFT folks are intellectual crooks. They leverage their strong position that they have carved for themselves to bend arms. But they would not indulge in "propaganda wars" as your post claims. Those guys are smarter than that.

CNBC is not 50% by MSFT. MSFT is a partner with NBC in (MSN)BC, hence the name. WSJ is a partner of NBC in CNBC, that is why Consuelo Mack is on the air at CNBC. Please keep the facts straight. There is enough misinformation to choke a horse on this thread.
