DISQUS

I stand by my comment that CNBC stands for "can never be correct" every time I start listening to the talking heads my p&l gets up and heads down the hall for the toliet.

those Bull-Bear debates or the "Is this a bull market or a bear market rally"? features don't make you a fortune?

Most financial bloggers are morons...along with CNBC hosts...the only solution is an industry-wide adoption of stuff like Covestor, too bad most people are frauds/cowards to ever take part!

Mr. Sykes - you're a self-promoting idiot.

Adam · 5 months ago

he will actually agree with you on that (minus the idiot part).

timothysykes · 5 months ago

Frank, if you had my type of track record and were willing to teach others, you'd want everyone to know too...as it is, the other people who promote are frauds and those who are real hide in anonymity like the cowards that they are...to where shall I ship your instructional DVDs future student?

Procol · 5 months ago

Sykes, if YOU had your track record you would not be selling DVD's to wannabees.

You claim 90% winning trades on covester. Either thats a fraud, or you're wasting your time pimping product.

Which is it?

lmao, will pass that along.

"Truthfully, I have zero clue how they expect to maintain any sort of audience as the current crowd ages"

TV cares about current ratings. A couple of years is a lifetime.

FOX illustrates how to grab viewers, feed them what they want to hear, and ignore the truth when necessary.

CNBC is merely copying a winning formula.

Adam · 5 months ago

OK, I'm far, far from a FOX fan (honestly I hate virtually all cable news besides Stewart/Colbert, lol)) , but I do agree they found a niche and a winning formula. I think at the end of the day though, the masses want their biz info to be as objective as possible, whereas with news, maybe not so much.

Yada yada yada, I think Fox News will exist and thrive commercially, whereas with CNBC unless someone walks in and tells them it's not 1990 any more, will not. They have no function when you can get biz info all over the place.

And you'll live longer and smarter.

after reading that profile on Kneale, it got me thinking... this whole CNBC attacking blogs thing is the perfect illustration of everything that is wrong with the channel.

instead of doing reporting of any meaning, instead of giving us something worth watching, they're sitting there on air attacking people and talking about meaningless stuff. I'd like to think at this point they're just scrapping for whatever they can to get people talking about them so they feel relevant.

Adam · 5 months ago

I really can't figure out the thinking behind this. If they really want to market or get some buzz online, wouldn't engaging something like stocktwits or some prominent bloggers on an intelligent level make more sense? I'm sure they have viewers who still think it's a 1999 chat room plugging worthless internet stocks, but cnbc you would think knows better. Just silly.

Damn, ... this is kind of like watching CNBC nowadays ....

Lmao, sorry about that. Maybe that's the master plan.

Doesn't that crying in the elevator scene remind you of MCC crying about Wall St. "talent" potentially not getting paid enough in the "post crisis" environment?

Adam · 5 months ago

that was a sad story, thank goodness they figured out a way to pay themselves again.
