thread todays washington post from our guy Jerry Since the great bull market began in 1982, there have been five other bull-market legs. Those bull-market legs each saw the Dow rise between 68 percent and 154 percent. If the current bull-market leg were to match the smallest leg up since 1982, the Dow would reach 12,396. Given the wave structure and the strong upside momentum, there are good reasons to believe this leg up from the 1998 lows will carry the day well above that level." -- The Jerry Favors Analyst Columbus, Ohio

Sorry from the intrusion (I'm the guy from the Befriend the Trend thread: siliconinvestor.com but did anyone see CNBC at 7:30 last night? They interviewed someone who was billed, I believe, as a "hero" to all online stock traders. I'm curious to know who that was/is... Can anyone help with a name? Thanks, TC.

Dear Ted: Why is management torturing Bob Sellers with co-hosting with Liz Claman? The chemistry just isn't there. Bob has been great up to this point. He looks miserable with Liz.

td, Please, please, please...can something be done about Steve Frank's very bad, and most irritating, nervous habit of inserting "aahh's" between, ahh, every pause, and, ahh, new thought, as, ahh, well as, ahh, with each breath, and ahh, ok...I've made my point!? He's OK as a reporter, but he really needs a little off-air speech coaching to rid him of this nasty habit. It's painful, very painful. TIA, BV

Ted, I have been watching CNBC weekdays almost daily since January 1996. And part time since FNN days. Tom Costello Doomdays coverage is making me sick. This morning he was picturing the worst case scenario for ATHM mentioning in a negative way a number of times. Not once did he mention that ATHM received three upgrades. One from Prudential with a strong buy and Target price of $250. see link ( quote.bloomberg.com ) ATHM close up 9 and change and even though it was among the most active he did not mention it once late in the day. Some other comments on Costello by another SI members: Message 10020549 Message 10022547 I do not know about other people but that kind of onesided reporting is making CNNFn more attractive every day in my eyes. Please feel free to share this comments with Tom Costello. Perhaps he should join Sidnie in London or maybe in CNBC antartica. What about those comments after the market closed saying a good day for AOL and a bad day for AOL. Do you editor news writers look at the closing prices? I give you one you where the only one that said WOW ATHM up 9 and change. (I was 1/2 into my stairmaster workout) One last thing how come your call screeners for taking stock do not now company ticker. Even for large well known companies. I am sure that there are many journalism/communications students that would love to have that job and who have a love for stocks. Shape up or you will lose a lot of viewers, CNBC is not the only game in town.
