Upon deep and intense of meditation over the past couple o' minutes, I see the ownership of individual equities by CNBC personalities to be my greatest concern. Conflict of interest. Having their portfolios invested in mutual funds, held in a blind trust, or in a company sponsored 401(k) would be fine. Even if every single reporter/anchor is a paragon of virtue, their individual holdings are a cause for concern. Just the potential for prejudicial reporting damages credibility. I may be terribly naive, but I'd like to have an unbiased perspective from the most influential market news source. May I invite comment from others? Am I missing something? Are my concerns unrealistic? Paul
