i disagree.. the media is almost always biased.. give them an inch.. they create a mile.. they're not evil and sinister.. I'm just simply saying that they are not only premature in calling this a bear market.. but that they have every incentive to call this a bear market so that they can get a bigger audience.. anyway, we'll just disagree... anyway, hope everyone's weathering the storm today.. got a few things to do... I'll check back with ya'll later... is Kim still gone?? if anyone sees her say hello jim

"CNBC isn't putting fear in the market. There is fear in the market because of events that are totally unrelated to CNBC. CNBC just reacts to the fear in the market, they do not instill it." I disagree. CNBC does instill fear with their constant hammering and speculating. Reporting the news is one thing but yellow journalism is another. They are owned by GE, for crying out loud! The DOW was dumping bad not so long ago. You think they didn't love it when the NAZ and its "overweighted, over valued" tech stocks in the NAZ started dropping and the DOW started moving up due to "people getting into the "value stocks?" Paleeeeeeeeeeeeeeze! They played it like a fiddle and all those folks that cannot trade without CNBC started freaking and are still freaking. Turn CNBC off and get your news to trade by someplace else. I have not one trading stock right now, btw. Stops got hit and that is that! Just sitting back now waiting for the bottom to be called so I can buy some of those goodies! I will wait to see if the NAZ can hold the next support of 3800. If it goes to 3965 first, I am a buyer. Happy Trading! ;) Jo
