Do they think we're stupid or something?

turn off CNBC and you'll be much happier.

"his balance sheet is so red, it makes my burgandy look like Sauvignon blanc"

...but is it crisp with fruity overtones and a dry, flinty finish like your Sauvignon Blanc?

aboutready: amen to that!

CNBC sucks. Rather watch Bloomberg TV if need to see whats going on.

GE reported earnings on Friday. Read the earnings report before you share your high-powered insight into the modulations in the global economy.

Jerkstore: why don't you read between the lines, or why not just actually read the lines:

"GE posted better-than-expected quarterly profit last Friday, as a strong performance at its large energy operation offset declines at the GE Capital finance and NBC Universal units."

Who cares if they beat expectations in their energy operation? It's their financial arm that will bankrupt them. Why don't you go buy some GE stock if you think they're on secure footing?

Its like Dick Fuld saying "but, yes, the Lehman company store is doing awesome.. selling lots of tote bags!"

HAHA - Admiral, That was funny.

It's about the background sounds of our life.
Ok, lets say your on the Titanic and its sinking. Your holding on tight but find yourself right next to a small ensemble of musicans brave enough to play in the face of absolute mortal danger. They are taking requests. Do you call out the name of some up beat ditty or do you opt for depressing tunes? Personally, I'll be calling for dixieland jazz!
