RS, I don't own a TV and haven't for 3 years or so. This gives me a unique perspective. I think a lot of folks take for granted the amount of TV this stuff gets. I went fishing last weekend and holed up for the night in a dive of a hotel with 2 of my obnoxious buddies who wanted to watch the hoops. I quit counting financial/investment commercials after a while -- there were so many and this wasn't your ®GizzardLips TV -- it was network stuff, I think. Had to be almost 1/3 to 1/2 of the commercials I saw. Amazing. Who is left to pour their money into stocks in the US?
