KIS <obviously Blodget's bosses made a few calls to CNBC> this is quite an assertion. I don't think this is the least bit obvious -- in fact I would think it is a major scandal -- if true -- and a potential lawsuit -- if false. Perhaps my sense of professional ethics is out of step with reality -- but I still take a 'prove it' attitude on this type of issue.

Message #79665 from KeepItSimple at Oct 5 1999 3:45PM >Thanks! I think you nailed it and I forgot about Blodgett. Yes, that is understandable. And exactly what CNBC wanted. When Blodget came out with his Holiday Basket, CNBC repeated it every hour for 3 days. When Blodgett had an interview in the LA times, where he stated most internut stocks would decine 75%, it was not mentioned once. And it still hasnt been mentioned. William says "its not news" but obviously Blodget's bosses made a few calls to CNBC. KIS, There is nothing obvious here. You are looking for a possbile libel suit if you continue on this tract. CNBC is part owner of an ECN, and internuts account for a large portion of that ECN volume. (revenue) If people get out of the nuts, their profits drop. The ECNs handle mostly large cap stocks. Glenn
