To all: my perspective on CNBC, for whatever is worth, is that the news are well communicated, but the "hot" nature of the TV medium, compared to the "cold" printed paper (this according to McLuhan) or internet, which allow us to read and rethink at our own pace, is a preferable source. I love to read Silicon Investor, but I would sometimes feel overwhelmed watching CNBC by the deluge of opinions, people, pundits, managers, analysts, experts etc One day one analyst was talking about COMS and calling it a "strong hold". In other words, you better hold it tight in your hand, otherwise will fall and break! All these opinions may be a zero sum game, just like probably our opinions here, but at least here nobody claims to be an expert... ciao Alfredo
