I'm in Sydney most of the time, and CNBC Asia and CNBC Europe are substantially better (less happy talk, less cheerleading) than CNBC (USA). But they both are, unfortunately, more stock-centric than Bloomberg, which I can get 24/7 here, thankfully. If you trade currencies, futures, foreign stocks and indexes, commodities -- CNBC is just plain pointless. The exception being Rick Santelli with bonds in Chicago. That guy is good and worth watching.
Got a chance to check out fbn, and it is as stupid as the audience that it is trying to appeal to. If you actually like it, then you are just like that numb-nut Cody something on their "Happy Hour" program. At first I thought it was Sykes, but he was never that big an a-hole. You want to go watch Fox, go ahead. Good Luck trading to you.
Sorry to hear it. Don't get Fox yet but if they are as bad as CNBs then we now have two turds in the bowl.
