Robert, where did John Murphy go?? or did he retire? I believe they only have the Astrology forecaster on about twice a year and mostly as, I believe, a fluff piece. They know it/we know it. On Taking Stock....I think they should ban any and all queries on The Fortune 50 stocks. I mean, c'mon, you can get the same kind of conventional wisdom on these guys at CVS or the Mobil Station. They should have a Taking Stock version just for Micro and MidCaps. Here's where the analysts are gonna have to do some DD and/or true Limb stalking...

Has this been a revolving door, or what? Neil Cavuto, Karen Gibbs, Roy Bloomberg (?), John Murphy, Dan Dorfman, Susie Gharib, etc. Who am I missing? With the exception of Dorfman, doesn't it seem that most of the 'departed' are quality reporters/script readers? And Chris Mathews: The worste of the Sensationalists, an insidious group of slime that make lawyers, rapists, and used car salesman look virtuous.

I enjoyed Wayne Shannon too. Before he left, some viewers wrote in and complained about him. Too bad. I didn't write and say I enjoyed him although I now wish I had, now that it's too late. The last I heard, Wayne's on radio somewhere in the mid west. If I remember correctly, his segment was called "What's it all mean." I was heavily into options at the time (1992) and under much stress during the trading day, so I welcomed his presentation as a comic relief. Wish him well, PW.

To All, I like CNBC but they are CONSITANTLY blowing it in one key area. Nuts and Bolts information... Earlier today William? Esray the Sprint CEO was on explaining a new product of theirs... He talked about it a while and the second he was going to demonstrate it in detail about exactly how it would work CNBC cut the segment short... Sheese these guys are idiots sometimes.... They'll show Greenspan for what seems hours answering moronic questions and then cut away when something truly educational comes on... They did the same thing a while back when Bill Gates was explaining his position about Win95/98/Browsers. As long as he was just standing and talking they covered him... The very second he was going to explain things in a more complete understandable was by using visual aids CNBC cut the segment. Sheese CNBC... Get with it.. your cutting away from these segments at the most important time and doing a disservice to your viewer and to the presenters as well.... It's shoddy journalism.
