Since CNBC came up it should probably be suggested, at least to the NEWB investors on here, that it should not be used to make investment decisions. They have to fill their air with stuff (NOISE), much of which is a bunch of "experts" doing nothing more than predicting the future. They don't have any better a crystal ball than anyone reading this thread. It is a good source for financial news and you can even use it to learn about companies that you can then RESEARCH before you invest in them. Just don't dump any of your money into a stock just because someone on there likes it. But, if they happen to say have a CEO on and you like the business philosophy or a new product they have coming out or what have you, then do some homework on the company and THEN decide if you want to become an owner of it.
