Another thing --- CNBC kept saying "exclusive" in regarding Mozillo's interview with Maria this morning. In the first 3 minutes of Power Lunch...
I agree that CNBC is falling apart bigtime in preparation for Fox. And I am REALLY sad that Bolling jumped --- he was, IMO, one of the better...
Out of curiosity, I just popped up CNBC online's free streaming coverage of CNBC Asia tonight (Sunday night here in DC) --- I can't begin to tell...
Yep, that's the one. And you're right about most people, too. Aside from Ditech, others that are run with varying degrees of annoyance...
I should add that I've started renaming CNBC as the network of "All Ditech Ads All The Time" I counted this morning --- 8 Ditech ads ran in one...

Yah, I paper-traded that on Thurs and was surprised by the wide B/A spread. Ah, well. That's what paper-trading is for!
Yeah, good point -- the b/a spread can kill you....I've watched the b/a on the weeklies and some of them are absolutely NUTS.
