semi-OT Upon reflection, I place a lot of the market's gloom--and euphoria--firmly on the shoulders of CNBC. I am definitely a CNBC newbie, never having seen it until the afternoon of December 9, 1998 when I finally got Primestar [cable service is unavailable where I live]. Now that I can get CNBC, I find I am much more fixated on the market than I ever was before I started watching that channel. Without CNBC I strongly suspect far few people would be day trading. What I would like to see is some study comparing the way individual investors dealt with their portfolio's when the market took a dive in October 1988 and [not now, but next year] how the same type of investor is dealing with this correction (or whatever) now with a focus on the influence of the media on their decisions.
