It was real interesting to me today when I made the post about them not bringing out the penquins on PMCS they came back and addressed the issue in a matter of minutes. They must monitor this thread very closely. Let's put this in perspective; here little ole me, sitting in my den, in my robe, can affect one of the most powerful propaganda machines on the planet. That is so surreal. In all fairness CNBC has been one of the major tools in allowing me to sit in my robe in my den and attempt to make a living. I also believe they all try to be decent human beings. They are wrestling with the facts that have become so blatantly obvious, even to the novice trader, that the markets are totally self serving. They have somewhat been the host of the rape of Joe6pack by the markets and they realize it. It was great riding the thing up but what do we do now that the bubble has burst. I think all honest traders would have to admit they owe a debt to CNBC as a tool that helped them become traders. They will have to evolve as their audience has evolved. I think the only way serious traders will take the mute button off when they talk to analyst is to have the red headed chick do the interview topless. S
