I have CSCO, BGEN, and TYC. I went from retiring at fifty five to eighty. I'm heading out to cut firewood now...
One comment on CNBC. The morning heads did say when TYC rumor hit that, in so many words, TYC has always had up and up books.

I totally agree...allowing them to "report" every unsubstantiated rumor gives them license to propel an individual stock or the market as a whole in any direction they? desire. Investigative reporting doesn't seem to be part of their agenda.

So you would have CNBC... what? Play dumb and pretend CSCO hasn't just dropped over two points in a half hour? Or reluctantly acknowledge what the price ticker below them is already saying, and add "we'll report further on this after the bell", thus leaving the implication "until then you're on your own to guess whether this is something big or not"?

What's your idea, then?
