Is CNBC retarded?

Every time I watch it they have no idea what they're talking about, just shouting a bunch of BS about stocks. They place huge importance on single day moves, like half an hour spent "oh this useless index went up .5%". And their analysis is a total waste of time that any wannabe banker could pull out of his ass. Do people who work at banks agree with this sentiment or do you actually take heed in their retarded predictions?

Agreed. Bloomberg is much better than CNBC, although CNBC is quite interesting... Fast Money - a show where inarticulate, washed-up financiers blast their un-researched opinions and fight on air... Mad Money - A show where you get to see Cramer talk out of his ass about stocks that some intern researched for him. You also get to enjoy the throwing of objects, as well has his rather poorly tied ties.

If you want news, tune in Bloomberg, if you want entertainment, tune into CNBC

 

I agree CNBC sucks really bad. I did like to watch power lunch (Michelle's boobs are spectacular) but I cant stand that Tyler Mathisen guy that replaced Bill Griffith, he's a complete moron and asks the stupidest questions.

 

haha I was watching CNBC today and the anchor was repeatedly asking "Bob" who was on the floor of the NYSE to give her an update. It took the people like 10 seconds to realize that the person on the floor was both a woman, and obviously not Bob- yet the anchor continued to refer to her as Bob multiple times after she said that she was filling in for Bob today....teleprompters ftw!

Reality hits you hard, bro...
 

CNBC is the USA Today of News ... "The News You Can Not Use"
