Do the "Financial Reporters" on TV EVER See A Good Time to BAIL? |
|
I've never seen the "financial experts" on the teevee news do anything but pimp for the stockmarket. There was a guy on CNN right now being all like, "the WORST thing you can do is GET OUT....don't buy too many internationals! It's a good time to buy US stocks" etc.
Don't they ALWAYS say that no matter what. I wonder if they are even allowed to be pessimistic about the US stockmarket, with all the brokerage & bank commercials they run!

They want to support the market as long as possible so all their buddies can be convinced to bail first.

4. Yes, but only on Bloomberg, which I don't consider typical MSM |
|
They make an effort to provide a balanced approach, and they present both sides pretty fairly
CNBS is just a proxy for pumping the market. They have two individuals, kudlow and crammer, which should indicate to you just how much integrity they have
