I agree Susan, every day CNBC at 3pm Ron Insana trucks out the Bears and leads the negative discussion, what a downer!! Look at him I think you can see the tiny smirk on his face today.

CNBC is to stock market news, what "A Current Affair" is to serious investigative reporting. I like CNBC but if they ran it the way I would like it to be run there ratings would drop. Without the drama a lot of tuners would tune off. . I'm tuned into the Wall Street Journal Report, and Wall Street Week with Louis Rekeyser, and 1-2 hours a day of Bloomberg T.V. and another 1 hour at 5:00 a.m. But CNBC still has me tuned on 5 hours a day so they must be doing something else right. They must get as many tuning in as possible so every market move downwards is "Is this the end of the bull market"? and every move upward is "are we going to see dow 10,000".. that's the ratings game. That way your baby boomers, retirees, housewives, individual investors will tune in out of fear that they might miss some pending disaster or miss out on the next bull run of the stampeding internet stocks..

<CNBC has SUCH a negative attitude..always visions of DOOM and GLOOM "Is this the end for the tech sectors leadership" "Is this the end for the bull market"? Give me a break. They are the ones putting the fear into all the sellers with their "Is this the end" attitude. Remember all their "internet Bubble" talk? they caused much of it with their commentary. Everytime there is a correction they act like panic and act like idiots. The only one who doesn't do this is Joe Kernan. Do they not know that a correction is healthy and necessary for further gains? Well, I've said my piece. Wish I could get Bloomberg where I am. They are more professional.>> susan, just think of how many people that are so new to investing and after hearing all this BS gloom and doom panic and sell their stocks for a loss and the only to see them rise back up a few days later. IMO they are getting worse everyday and they should have their little egos put in check....they have way to much power and something should be done....just read the threads or go on the mIRC channel and you see posts all day long about this company and that company being on cnbc....people are bashing their investing on what joe K or mark haines has to say or what ceo will be on the show that day.... this is my opinion and thank GOD we have the right to voice our opinions....i blame most of last weeks selloff in the market on CNBC, all day long all you here is gloom and doom..... do a little test nest time...when you start hearing them say negative things watch the ticker on the DJIA...it will start going down as soon as they start flapping their jaws...pure bullshit if you ask me
