The segment on Squawk Box this morning really crossed a line when Greg Whoever screamed about EPIC like he was freaking having an orgasm. As an afterthought he reminded the viewers that he owns 1 million ( yes thats a MILLION) shares and a 3% interest in the company. He was allowed to sing the praises of this POS (sorry you longs) for what seemed like 10 minutes and Mark Haines chuckled as the early trades revealed that the stock was soaring. It's one thing to talk about a stock that you like, but this went overboard. I really think that small cap stocks should have another standard and a disclaimer should come up that says "please be reminded that when a guest recommends a small cap stock with a thin float the price may rise rapidly and fall just as fast." I do not own the stock, I did not buy it, and the reason for my post is that I watch this station every morning and I really felt sickened by the back slapping, hey kid just made a few mil chummy way the host handled this. CNBC loses major points for this and I feel for the granny in Utah who bought at the open all excited. Anyone who didn't sell this AM had to be asleep at the wheel. Perfect short ! Even has options.
