TADS, or "Dorfman Revisited"

This thread will focus on........

Transparent attempts to (1) capitalize on greed, and (2) derive revenues by providing early access to price-driving news or commentary.

We all know about CNBC and the tie between daytraders (like me) and Kernan et al.

My own opinion is that CNBC does, in general, a great job. I feel strongly that there is a sincere and ongoing effort to "report" rather than "drive".

Nonetheless, there is also an effort to report breaking news, and to therefore command an ever increasing [greedy] audience. This is ethical and rational.

Here's a transparent attempt, IMO, to drive stock prices via email alerts, to drive the investor to TheStreet.com with a sense of immediacy.........

thestreet.com

Cramer returns to Squawk Box on Monday, and we get Rukeyser/Cramer on election day. No coincidence, there's an attempt to back their slogan, "Ignore us at your own risk".

The original TSC business plan failed. They're down to a price:book of 1.3 with little going for them, IMO, in the "expertise column". They're left only with a transparent attempt to derive influence by leveraging greed.

It will probably work.

Make sure that your ISP can keep their mail servers up and running. And, for all of you who actually *WORK* for a living, ask your boss if you can come in late every day.

Ugh. One can see why socialist governments become popular.
