Best and Worst CNBC Commercials

  1. and what the hell qualifications makes her a Chief Economist?? That she can read a friggin' computer screen at 8:30 Thursdays to give us the unemployment figures. Remember her stupid-assed "Three chicken days" ?

    This is their chief economist speaking. Holy smokes, what a sad specimen she is.

    Mark haines (an ex-lawyer) has an orgasm every time the futures tick up a point in the premarket as if that's gonna spell the coming of the next bull market.

    And let's not forget serious Joe. "This company's stock has dropped 43% already this morning. Tell you about it right after this commercial"

  2. I heard the Marcy has a Phd (Piled Higher & Deeper). I guess if you read mass volumes of literature and write a long paper which generally explains nothing, it somehow makes you an "chief economist".

    I really enjoyed her earth shattering piece on "Housing not being the next bubble". She reference Greenspans unbelievable comment about turnover in the housing market being only 10% vs. stocks being in the 100+% per year. Last I checked I couldn't sell my Avg Priced $300K home here in California by calling a broker and buying it back the next day at a 4% discount. Apples and Oranges...... appears neither has been to a supermarket lately to notice the difference in the produce department. :D

  4. Back to the cow tipping subject for a moment, I heard that if you actually tip a cow over it messes up their intestines and they later die. Anyone know if this is true???

  5. "What the hell is map of the market?"

    That's what I thought until I found one:

    (This loads a big java applet)

    Now I have Map of the Market! I am psyched!

  6. However, I can't imagine that throwing a midget would cause any long-term damage :D

    For real? I noticed she wasn't there giving unemployment figures this morning. What *will* we do now without her guidance and suggestions?? Maybe she went over to CNN/fn which is even more deserving of her talents

  8. So I'm watching CNBC this evening an this commercial came on. A grown man crawls into bed with his parents. Where do these people get this crap?

    Worse of all the commercial was for ARCA. At least their ECN is better than their commercials.

    Chris Jansen, the news anchor is hot.
