I’m a new reader and think CNBC, watched for what it’s worth is probably a net positive. 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.

Please let me know where I can find a good high yield money market account right now.. 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.

I disagree with #6. 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.
