It used to be that the CNBC talking heads could not own individual stocks, other than GE in their retirement accounts. Yet over the past few months I have heard a few of them hint that they do own stocks, and in fact Mark Haines just now specifically said he owned a certain stock that a guest mentioned. Why the change? Was that restriction perhaps one of the reason they have lost some good people? Just curious... -jsc

My concept, Jopawa, was that the 8000 Special would celebrate the recapture of an 8000 level from beneath, not a special on the way down. Hopefully we can still have it, but probably not next week. Frankly, with this market's volatility, anything can be possible, even short-term. The market was up 50+ (curbs in) when I left my computer for a fairly short meeting. I got back (maybe in 15-20 minutes) and the Dow was off over 100 (down-curbs in). Double-takes are becoming much too routine around here. Here's to your next Dow 8000 Special, Jopawa. I hope it's not too long in the making.
