I agree David. If I were the producer I would throw those stupid lava lamps in the garbage, remove the juvenile toys, cut the "brief case indicator" (god we will have to see it tuesday again).... shoot that dumb penquin (sp) and get someone to review the teleprompter before another "announcer" make a fool out of himself/herself by saying something stupid. The fact that CNBC may be so popular is probably due to the fact that pure financial news is boring to the mainstream T.V. viewer, but I'd prefer it over the crap I have to listen to each day just to get a decent update on the market.

If there are no risk then why do the traders suffer losses? Why did Salamon go out of business over losses in bond trading? Do you really think all of the profits of a Merrill Lynch are from commissions? They take huge positions everyday!!!! If they are wrong they suffer huge losses!!! I watch CNBC so that I am aware of what is going on in the market right now!!!! I want to know if a company missed it's number on earnings!!! Did the CEO resign!! Is there a buyout!! I want to watch for myself the interview with Michael Dell or anyone else that I think may move a stock!!! Steve Davis
