Auric, you make many good points about CNBC and LOCK. But people who rush to buy such issues on this kind of news when they don't know anything about the company are just gambling anyway and most of the blame lies with themselves.

I think that CNBC does need to have a "Opps" segment where they comment on "errors in judgement" on some opinions. Realistically, people who discuss stocks on CNBC usually state if they have a position in the stock or other financial they are discussing, but are still just giving an opinion. You are still responsible for doing your own homework before investing. I think there are lots of day traders that bounce in and out on anything mentioned anywhere and that is freedom of choice.
