Fast Money - I do 'appreciate' the first segment where they summarize the market action as a recap. The rest is....so-so, but does provide some periodic food for thought.
Mad Money - entertaining and at times a good nugget or two of insight/strategy that I might not have considered before, but I think Cramer's off his meds this past few months.
Squak Box - somewhat okay, but they have too much cross-chatter/gabfests. It's like the "Today Show" for business buffs.
Squak on The Street - Erin was nice to wake up with, but Mark Haines, while I used to like his dodering manner, just got annoying. That "wakey wakey" crap for the west coast drove me bannanas.
Dennis Neal = a whiny shrill pompous twit who justifies instant muting in my book.
Overall CNBC has gone down the tubes bigtime in the past year. I rarely watch it now that I have Bloomberg to wake up with. At least Bloomberg is 24-hour, informative, non-sensational, doesn't cheerlead, and doesn't try to be "reality television for business buffs."
The *only* good thing about CNBC for me these days is the commentary by Rick Santelli. If they would package his stuff via podcast I would subscribe in a heartbeat.
But I watch CNBC *rarely* these days. And you know what? I'm probably a better investor and trader as a result.
