A site has a "Monica?" LOL, Blue, that's pretty good! Notice, though, that while they will blast some sites, they won't tell which OLBs, MMs, or exchanges are having problems, which is info that many of us would really like to know. Once upon a time, eTrade got such attention, but now no broker is reported on. jim

I've finally got it, I now understand why CNBC doesn't talk about Gold much. Getting real financial news from those on CNBC is much the same as getting cutting edge information about medicine from the actors on ER or Angles of Mercy. Should every time they someone on CNBC speaks it be prefaced with, "I'm not a finical reporter, but I play one on TV"? Are their selection of "Investment Advisors" really any better?
