When you tell the truth on CNBC that is what happens. The "balanced" reporting comes in the form of a scripted Santelli rant (Btw Santelli, get off that network for the love of God. Just speak your mind one time and they'll shitcan you).
Ratigan and Ritholtz Show? Might not be able to compete with the "Kneale and Bob Show" though. I do not know this Durden character (in real life, I know the movie character) nor have I had correspondence with him/her. But my "gut indicator" is telling me that "Digital Dickweed" stunt was a huge blunder and probably was the nail in the coffin for that network or his job at the very least. It was downright appalling.
I'm trying to spread the love around to the other networks. Whichever network establishes them self as the network who regularly presents unmolested data, facts and other "not-so-green-shooty" information will forever gain the respect of viewers for the next decade and more. You will more than likely face political pressure and be considered "negative nancys" at first. America is starting to wake up... but there are still people wondering why there aren't more people pissed off. That's simply because of the limited audience that is being reached (blogs). Until the "unbiased" data is presented on a consistent basis, Little Tea Parties will stay little and you will cling to "hope and fortitude" while you stand by and watch this absolute disaster take place. There are several "bloggers" who would love to present this data on your show (not me).
If any network wants to solidify this position, now is the time.
In stock news, heads up on SO. I have no position in it now...just a warning you might want to put on a chastity belt just in case...Not a call but it is putting in negative divergences now. I'm not interested in trying to top/bottom tick trades. There are other blogs out there for you that can do that.
[addendum: If you do not realize the stealth tax being done in the markets by positioning the banks on the right side of the trades then you are going to feel "violated" if you are buying into the propoganda channel and the coordinated government hype in the media. I've stated previously that I felt the Gov has realized there is a huge piggy bank...the Market. And they are telling you everything is a-ok while they are doing it. Does your ankles look like hand-grips or what?]
[Update 1 (closing bell): 30+ mins of video captured today (up until futures closed), annotated in real-time, 1 take. This is getting good]
