Tony,

Lol - if I had any money left, I might even send it to them ;-)

While I agree that many guests who appear on CNBC are suspect, given that most of them have an agenda to pursue (did you ever see a fund manager whose job it was to get you to buy stock look into the camera and say, "If I were an investor today, I'd RUN LIKE HELL AWAY FROM THIS MARKET!!!! ;-), but I find some more trustworthy than others. While I'm not much of a believer in technical analysis, John Murphy always seemed pretty sincere to me, saying what he believed, rather than pushing an agenda, altho I don't know enough about him and what his firm does to know that for a fact. I'm also impressed with Barton Biggs of Merrill Lynch, who was talking about a gloomy economic outlook before this tragedy, despite the fact that telling the truth as he saw it clearly wouldn't help his company sell stock.

<I've noticed that no matter what the averages, CNBC will have someone on that says we need to go down X% more. If the averages got to zero, then they'd say we have to mail money in to them.>

Amaizing Tony, you actually find the "Tout TV" crew bearish. It just illustrates the great diversity of opinion among retail investors.
