CNBC is alright. I don't like daytime TV or ESPN so I usually watch it at school. In terms of actual value add, you might pick up a few things watching, but everyone on the network is very biased.

I wouldn't recommend any show in particular, but I'd say watch it during the day, especially when the markets are on, since it will be more of a value add then watching ESPN or something like that.

Also, try and check out Bloomberg TV or Bloomberg Radio if you get a chance.

looking for that pick-me-up to power through an all-nighter?
 

only watch CNBC for entertainment value..unless you take their advice and do the exact opposite..they only talk up the books of their sponsors/advertisers..

They have hedge fund managers come on to talk about their equity holdings and strategies already. The common mainstream user who watches CNBC isn't a qualified investor for HF and pe

I'd beg to differ. Mad retirees with a few hundred grand somewhere waiting to get involved in HF, PE, especially as laws against HF advertising become more lax.
