Online broker ads are going over the top. ... Recent ads from Discover Brokerage Direct, a Morgan Stanley Dean Witter ( (NYSE:MWD - news) ) unit, show a corporate raider bartender and a rebellious, helicopter-flying teen, both Discover users. That's in addition to the tow-truck driver who owns his own island. A new campy ad from Ameritrade shows two geekily hip twenty-somethings discussing the ease of making money with Ameritrade. E*Trade's ads court investors by depicting live brokers so calculating and self-absorbed, they seem to have been lifted straight out of In the Company of Men. "They're supposed to be over the top," says Discover spokesman Robert Livingston. "We're not saying invest with us and you'll get a helicopter or an island. The point is to be so far over the top and be humorous." fnews.yahoo.com also interesting valuation material

President and Ceo of Cantor was on CNN this morning for about 10 seconds. I believe he complained about the lack of participation in the rally. Then they brought on David Elias for an extended interview and he said that Intc and Msft were tremendously undervalued. That high tech and financials were the place to be. So I guess they edit the sensible people down to a "blink and you miss it" length and go in depth with the rest. <g>

I just heard you on AP newsradio saying participation hadn't been great in the rally. Had someone in my office so didn't hear as clearly as I might. Have the impression that you wrote the script for your CEO on CNN as it was similar.

bill, a second ap newsradio blurb...you said that you had trouble with earnings that wall street was expecting. you believe that earnings will grow modestly but that bottom up analysts were projecting 17% earnings growth and you couldn't see that being fulfilled.
