True, and CNBC has the same conflict. When this bubble bursts, market activity will decline significantly and their ratings will plunge, though the initial crash should boost ratings. Tom

Ramsey, Do you declare any potential conflicts that may be contained in your posts? Not many posters do? Yet, don't we all recognise most posters and their biases even thought the warning is missing? Do we need a warning about Joe Granville to know that he got one call right more than 2 decades ago, and has generally been wrong since. ... or as he would say, "early". CNBC was consistent today. Either ask them to change their policy all the time. or admit a bias. Personally, I think they already waste more than enough air time without adding disclaimers to the front and back of every interview. Would they have to add the disclaimer to the middle just in case some one tuned in late? Sorry, Ramsey, no support for your complaint from this camp. Ian.
