I have more problem with the idea that everyone is trying to make "fast money", than the individuals or their calls. Anyone trading should think about and investigate anyone else's call, no different than if they'd come up with the stock themselves rather than take someone else's word that they should buy or sell anything. After all, its your money.
Anyway, its no worse than the saturday morning Fox "business block" where they talk about everything BUT stock picks, and when they do talk about stock picks they devote minimal time to the discussions on the companies, and give things like Anna Nicole Smith or some shooter someplace the vast majority of the allotted time on any given weekend. Now THAT is REALLY pathetic.
