Ted, since CNBC seems to be taking request's , how about keeping the Dow BUGS on the screen when you go to commericial. Although it is not exactly accurate (realtime) it works well for a general guide to current market conditions, It can create some interesting challenges when a person is not expecting a commercial <G> HOW about those OTC stocks !!!?? Regards BIG !!!

Ted... thank you for your response. Now, let's expand the franchise a little more. It's my opinion that CNBC is behind the curve on the demand for round-the-clock market/investment info. I think a 12am show called "Midnite Market Monitor"(we'll affectionately nickname it "M-cube")is in order to help satisfy that need, a show that would recap the day and focus on what may be on tap for the following market session. It would be great for the many second shift workers who miss much of the day's action and would be a natural follow-up to the eleven o'clock news and Nightline. Now, who shall be our choice for the anchor??? Elwood P. Dowd
