The problem is really when people probably watch one segment of Mad Money and then put half of their ROTH into one stock of a company they never heard of and in an industry they couldn't even spell. They try to outsmart the market by investing in a dumb way based on a 2-minute segment. So, yeah, CNBC is not a good way to invest for a lot of folks. I enjoy the financial talk and find there aren't many other channels that offer that subject matter. Great stuff.

All the rates are pathetic.. On a long term horizon this works, but in the immediate term it will bite for the next several years. In all honesty, I believe the best bet for a good to great return on your money right now is to put it to work in building something that is either a capital/tangible asset or a business to fill a need in the marketplace. I would rather trust myself and my motivation than some money market manager's intuition. All is IMHO and YMMV.

Time generally leads to more and higher dividends. Compound interest is the most powerful force in the universe. Holding cash in a traditional checking or savings account is dangerous due to inflation. Buying a safe or putting your money under your mattress is even worse. If you do decide to have cash and wait at least put it in a high yield money market account. I disagree with #6. Time generally leads to more and higher dividends.

Anyway CNBC isnt really that bad, they monitor every stock market and gives you a noticement and awareness to what you invested on Stock market. But for not giving useful tips, yes they're bad at it Ah i see, so you think that every business channel like this should be closed because its just full of BS and wasting your time?!
