People really have to get weaned off of CNBC. CNBC is an addiction. It makes you feel like you are "in tune" with everything when really you are watching an infomercial. It is a con. Every 15 minutes they should have a disclaimer that says "For Entertainment Purposes Only".
If you must watch something, watch Bloomberg Television. It is sort of like the "headline news" version of CNBC. Also, they switch to Asia late at night and Europe early in the A.M. rather than running infomercials.
