Do you believe the big boys and their bought dogs? Do you think Goldman Sach's cares about your investment interest. Do you think CNBC reports financial news? Do you think maybe your being manipulated.

Nah! Good Americans would never do that.

I think CNBC and company are the talking heads of GE and other large corporations. Too many happy faces there. I don't believe anyone gives a damn about my money but me.

You guys are too cynical. I, for one, have no doubt that my friends at SquawkBox (Mark Hayes, Maria Bartoroma, Kathleen Hayes, David Faber, Joe Kernan) are on the up and up. They report the business news with absolute integrity.

To quote Diane Squire, "I don't watch what they say, I watch what they do." They get paid to report happy stuff, and when the bad stuff comes along they powder it to make it sound better.

Scarlet Pimpernell, sorry I guess my sarcasm doesn't come across that well with my keyboard (I'm pretty new at this). It was all sarcasm. So is this: CNBC are independently covering the way the markets move and informing the American public so that they will all make sound investment decisions. They have no interest if the market goes up or down, they are simply there to cover it as it happens and they equally present people with differring opinions about where the DJI/NASDAQ/S&P500 as well as commodities like oil & gold are headed and what impact that may or may not have on the sound investment prinicples they've instilled over the "Greatest Bull Run Ever."

CNBC is better known as Bubblevision.

One of my favorite bearish quotes:

"I look forward to the day when CNBC shows nothing but a test pattern."
