LANE: Nice post! David Faber is called the "brain" because he's one sharp guy. Kathleen Hays is one astute bond analyst. The interplay between the CNBC'ers is terrific. Ron Insana is extraordinarily sharp. My only bitch; they have to fill a lotta air time, they tend to be excessively bullish when the market is ramping, excessively bearish when it's tanking, the goobers they interview take calls from "investors" who say "Thanks for taking my call. What's your short term and long term view on XYZ." Talk about pump and dump! They never suggest a stock be sold. The really sharp guys (James Cramer comes immediately to mind) who are honest, tell you that they're holding a position or are short a position (this is called full disclosure) are no longer to be seen on CNBE. Nor is Herb Greenberg, very astute, but his valuable reports on companies that are having problems...companies that'll lose us money...is no longer on CNBC; guess those companies he spoke truthfully about leaned on CNBC to get rid of Greenberg.
