Hard market to make a buck....You have to wonder about all this late reporting of an emerging markets crash....I will be the first to admit that today was a big sell off in emerging markets, but it's not like it started today.....These easily started to correct the same day we did....The cumulative declines over the last week in these markets are about 1.5 times the decline today....So we call today the CRASH and last week was a correction....I love CNBC and how they try to spin the worst of news in a positive way....Did anyone hear the lady report today in such a positive aspect that the Adv./Dec line of the market was at 1:4 ratio and she still tried to spin it that the DOW 30 was currently climbing....I just laughed!!!!
If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck and looks like a duck---Then it's a duck.....CNBC would lead you to think it was a BULL...
Considering that for the last 8 years I have spent almost every Monday through Friday with CNBC and Bloomberg on, You eventually begin to laugh at how they try to keep investors from taking profits during every significant decline....I mean have you ever heard them say "SELL or Take Profits", before the market actually tanked....Even during the DOT COM CRASH, I can't remember a panic sell comment from any of them until it was way late....
Yet they will continue to pound the same positive statistics at you day in and day out.....Or.....They keep showing you the same stocks over and over.....I never see stocks like COT, LBIX, JSDA (All energy drinks), but I see HANS almost every other day...(Just an example).....And yes I know why they focus on large, common, safe names, but just imagine what kind of impact a competing station could have if they copied CNBC and cut out all the crap and only focused on the swing/day trader market....Like a great blog site, but on TV....All it would take is compounding all the intelligent comments and charts from one day on ET and create a show....I mean isn't it mostly swing/day traders sitting around listening to CNBC anyways
JUST A THOUGHT FOR ANY OF YOU ENTREPRENEURS OUT THERE!!!
ANY THOUGHTS?....I Like the comments from earlier, makes me feel like I'm not talking to myself...
