I agree, they should have more of a mix. But when the market is in rally mode, no one wants to hear preaching about how it will not last. Same sort of thing going on right now, IMO only. Maybe they are putting some writing on the wall.

Squawk Box guest hosts are all bears You are joking, right? I guess you haven't tuned in Squawk when they've had permabulls such as Battipaglia and Kudlow on. Those guys never saw a market they didn't like. I guess what you're actually saying is that you'd like Squawk to be a steady stream of market cheerleaders. I never have figured that out--I watch Squawk to learn something, not to get warm fuzzies over the stocks I own, or to hear some bozo say that AMZN's going to $100 simply because the guy owns it in his fund. Seth Tobias was on today--you could hardly call that guy a bear or a bull...he's just a straight-shooter who calls the markets like he sees them. Tobias and Schottenfeld are the best--no BS or "me too" cheerleading from them, just facts.

I don't believe that CNBC displays particular bias in guest selection. It is earnings warnings season, and the BULLS are probably feeling a little cautious about making public statements right now in lieu of INTEL, KODAK, LEXMARK, etc. How would you like to promote a stock in the morning, and have them warn in the afternoon? Anyway, keep telling yourself that the market will always value a stock correctly sooner or later.

And when we have the bulls on we are accused of being biased in that direction! We cannot win, it seems. I would point out that Joe Battipaglia, Abby J. Cohen and Al Goldman are just 3 examples of the bulls we have on rather regularly. In some cases these folks are on weekly. td
