Ted, Thanks for the response. Still love CNBC--just get upset once in a while. You are certainly one of my favorites on the network. You are right--neither the bulls or bears will be happy. I just got a little frusterated today. I had just felt that at key times 3 to 4 pm time had too many bears (for weeks) while the daily Squawk guests have been overly bearish lately and they get 3 hours to express their opinions! I guess this is just a cycle and I am used to it. Bears like coming out when the market is down while the bulls do so when it is headed higher. thanks again.

Ted, Why does something like the following happen? Just a few minutes ago Martha McCallum noted that Merrill Lynch was bullish on Corning and suggested they were pushing it ahead of a conference being held by Sanford Bernstein. She also mentioned the acquisition that Corning was making but didn't mention that ML was representing the target firm and thus had a financial interest in the transaction concluding successfully. I think the fact that ML hosted a field trip to Corning HQ's yesterday and has a role in the acquisition today is more likely the reason for the push.
