Quote from cstfx:
Any of you elite traders ever turn on CNBC Europe (not CNBC World) during the trading hours to get a different perspective? It's the way CNBC USA should be, but different folks are running it here. 11am to noon, always on for the Europe close. Can't stand that CBS reject substituting for a financial news reporter!
I'm in Sydney most of the time, and CNBC Asia and CNBC Europe are substantially better (less happy talk, less cheerleading) than CNBC (USA). But they both are, unfortunately, more stock-centric than Bloomberg, which I can get 24/7 here, thankfully. If you trade currencies, futures, foreign stocks and indexes, commodities -- CNBC is just plain pointless. The exception being Rick Santelli with bonds in Chicago. That guy is good and worth watching.
