ShmoozerI thought the OP was referring to the guests, not the actual CNBC correspondents, moron

Shut up, stupid.

Just b/c an analyst is on TV doesn't mean they are good. Hate to break it to you but most of the analysts you see on TV are not II AA or what have you. I don't think it means you're bad but definitely not good b/c you are on TV. Those channels will take almost anyone.

I'm siding with Ray on this one, at least with respect to sell-side analysts. Majority of them are not II ranked. Whether or not they're good is a whole other question that's debateable.

 

Get off your high horse you pompous dbag. Most analysts on CNBC are reputable, and are often noted as so by their awards by the CNBC employees. You know we can also just look them up to verify too? Many PMs and other buyside guys too, so obviously they aren't "ranked." Why would CNBC be wasting their time with no-names who have zero credit? Jesus.

It's because the guys that do matter and have all the credibility could care less about being on CNBC. Let's put it this way. Who are the II ranked analysts' clients? They're the big mutual funds, pension funds, hedge funds, asset managers, etc. Do they watch CNBC to get analysis for stocks? Rarely if ever.

So CNBC will get any analyst they can that covers the name to talk about it. Trust me, these guys they bring on still know what they're talking about, but rarely are they II ranked analysts.

The top analyst for a particular sector works a floor above me and he fucking loves being in the press. I think he was a failed actor in his 20's or something. Just saying......
