Martin, I also wished CNBC had spoken a word about this, but as it did not stay above their rule of $5, I knew I should not even ask. go2net.newsalert.com The mining issues are above that same magic $5 limit. One must well wonder why they can not even say one word about the many takeovers. I think the danger of near monopolies is real(as in the oils which they have reported on greatly). I think the broad investing public could profit from the input of a few "analysts" from ALL the non-hot sectors. I think we could aslo profit from the words of a few more CEO's. I think we need to hear also more about the other mining industries. How about coal? I would like to hear from a natural gas analyst - which are the best bets in this field? Though, they are looking at natural gas a bit more - of late. There is more to this country(and this market) than just the High Techs! If we heard more about the others, We might have a more broad and healthy market, and less of the tulip-mania which is now the Internet. And while I'm at it: Why if most of the new jobs are created in the "small cap sector" then why do most Americans invest in and the market news reporting groups mainly see the large caps? And Why do they - on CNBC - spend so much time kissing up? You want to talk about getting sick of hearing about issue? Yes, is there any one day in the history of CNBC they did not mention GE?
