I agree. Insana always seems skeptical about this market and telegraphs his feelings. But who isn't?

Perhaps he appears bearish in contrast to the rest of the pom-pom wavers on CNBC. To me, he is simply looking at both sides of the equation.

I think Insana's ok. Pisani's the one that always seems bearish
to me.

Further, I'd say cnbc fuels the fire either way the market is going.

For those of us who are long it can become tiring watching the
bears who've been wrong for so long being treated like they actually know
something...., but if/when it turns around the general tone will too.

Chip,
I always felt he looked more credible than he thought. Once or twice a week I catch him saying things in total odds with reality.

On balance, his questions to guests also seem to be bearishly loaded.

Tonight I also realized that since Faber's Bull Session, particularly the last 10 minute round table part, I stopped watching that channel at 5PM or so.

Ron may have been a whimp with Ralph A. but he's no dummy. His cautious/skeptical/bearish sentiment has been right on the money, no?

The market sucks right now, has sucked all summer, and won't be turning a sustained leg up for a while. If more investors listened with their heads and not their hearts Ron's mailbox would be filled with "thank you" notes.
