Why was Maria B attacking KO this morning? She said that no one should touch it until the analyst's meeting was held. KO did a lot better today than many of the Nasdaq stocks. A few years ago on CNBC, KO was always being recommended by her and her cohorts. There was seldom any criticism of the stock's valuation or potential problems in the future. Now they dismiss companies like KO and G as old economy stocks. It makes you wonder what CNBC will be like in a few years if the internet bubble stocks get pricked. I think CNBC should do more thorough analysis on these small hyped up companies that crash. Why isn't there more coverage of fiascos like the street.com and cdnow, peapod etc.. I would also like to see more critical analysis of companies like cisco, Nortel etc. Are they really worth more than 100 X P/E? Also, it was funny to see Costello trying to portray the visitors to the Nasdaq building as distraught. They didn't look too upset to me. What was the purpose of interviewing Jeff the ordinary investor who was long on CISCO? Did we really expect Jeff to say that he was in a panic?. It would have been funny to watch Jeff smash the Nasdaq board in a fit of rage. I would like to ask the fellow posters whether they prefer cnnfn or cnbc on days like this. I find tht CNN is more professional and less hype driven. CNBC is more entertaining though.

*OT* It looks like we "lucked out", catching those potentially deadly wood suckers in their early nest building stages. I killed a whole bunch of them starting to emerge from the basement, and sprayed a special termite killing solution down their tunnels with a little tube attached to the can. On the main beam, I sprayed it right into the new tunnels there also, then did the "poking test" with a narrow screwdriver to see how deep and extensive the damage was. Then of course, there is the old "tapping on wood" test, to check the "soundness" of the wood. So far, things look better than I thought. Next, we are placing "anti-termite stakes" into the ground all around the house. And I will keep checking and checking until I'm satisfied. I intend to win this little war, but termites are sure persistent and stubborn! Tired Yogi
