This is why I switched from cnbc to Bloomberg: it's Sunday evening and futures are down 20 handles from Friday's close. Looking for news, I turn to Bloomberg and see the crawl with headlines coming out of Europe, along with live futures quotes (which they provide 24/7). What's on cnbc? A fricking infomercial, and nothing but more pre-recorded programming scheduled 'til probably 2, 3am ET. At 7pm Bloomie starts live commentary from Asia, while cnbc has a home workout plan infomercial. Just shows you where the focus is for each of these 2 stations.
at night you need to switch to cnbw the markets are freaked by the French election. They will be talking about it all night. I'm a nice guy and I like all people from all different cultures, but I can only take so much of those foreign accents, especially when the British call Barack Obama Baraaaaack Obamer. Like do they call bock beer back beer? Johanne Sebastion Back?
I was watching a British cooking show and I had to turn it off. They kept calling shish kabobs shish kababs with a short a. I mean I know they are spelled shish kababs, but it's prounounced shish kabobs. It is really annoying.
Yeah you gotta watch CNBC World for evening/early morning futures/fx, switch over to regular CNBC at 4am for worldwide exchange. Or, just stay on bloomberg all night.
Yep. Monitor it on Bloomberg all night if you have basic cable. Like I said, they show live futures 24/7. To Oldtime - I don't get cnbcw, but thanks for the tip.
yeah, I just switched to BTV, I like it quite a bit better than CNBW oh well gotta get back to the game Philles @ Nationals I don't see what the big deal is, France going Socialist is about like Alabama going Nazi I took my EUR/USD profits, I'll sort it all out in the morning
Bloomberg's Matt Miller is very good. Dominick Chu is a bit obnoxious, but he is smart. Of course they have 3 hotties who are easy on the eyes...Maggie Brennan, Alex Steel, and Gigi Stone.....the latter being the newest: http://www.businessinsider.com/meet-the-women-of-bloomberg-tv-2012-4#gigi-stone-20
Margaret Brennan is no longer at Bloomberg. Gigi Stone is probably not the newest - she's been with Bloomberg for months, if not years.
Wow, I just saw the announcement about Maggie. Now what is she going to do ? And I wonder what was the real cause for her departure......I doubt it was over money.
