Scott Wapner sucks
July 8, 2024

Guy thinks he is the smartest guy in the room. He talks down to the other analysts on the round table. He is smug and arrogant and has a punchable face.

Jim Cramer is awful at projecting stocks. He is a gimmick and if people do what he recommends they will lose money.

Used to love CNBC back in the day. It's terrible now.

Long time listener and this has strains of both positive and negative.
As far as guidance: It certainly has benefited me in some cases and hurt in others.
Hosts: Carl is probably the best. Scott can be good when he mitigates the ego. Closing Bell? Useless and/or change the host. Too defensive and full of herself. Kelly- Class, informative and challenges professionally. Kramer- Enough has been said but has not been the benefit in my gains. A hard working guy and he does care. Melissa- A breath of fresh air with wit but needs to change up the guests.

My 2 cents (my gain in late 2022) is stop with trying to report on any breaking news as a hair on fire issue. I am fine with a little politics in it as long as in check.

I have watched CNBC since the late 90's. They need to be more like the weather channel. Just report the stocks and stop with the editorials. Other than Cramer, their morning crew is useless and provides no insight into the upcoming trading day. They only focus on one large item for the day and should be reporting more useful information like who is reporting today and tomorrow and provide some heads up on possible outcomes.

The way they report would be like if the weather channel only reported the weather from yesterday.

Is Squawk Box supposed to be a business show? This morning they allowed a 30+ minute ad doe Mr. Trump. Joe Kiernan's softballs were as tough as baby food. Kiernan should move over to Fox where he belongs. Stick to business and leave the politics to other shows.

I like this one in particular. Firstly because they have a lot of free articles to read and videos too.
It's a great website for those who want to raise their financial literacy; and those who think about the future and how to invest to get an income in the future.
I definitely recommend their "Personal Finance" section. I learned so many new things about saving and budgeting.

CNBC make it is terrible
February 12, 2022

Make it removed the comment section because of how dumb the articles are. Every single one is click bait. How this person retired at 20. They simply also have an online job making 250k per year. Ok…… yea maybe anyone could do that.

Repetitive boring ads
March 23, 2022

First of all Shepard Smith is a very annoying news person. He makes me nervous just listening to him. There are ads about his news show 100 times plus per day on CNBC and they are monotonous, annoying and repetitive. Then there is the ad about Shark Tank that has been running continually in every ad sequence with the same participants. Everyone knows about SharkTank. Why do these ads have to keep running day after day. It's a complete nightmare to hear them. I'm sure that most listeners are sick and tired of hearing these two ads.

I will no longer listen to CNBC due to Jim Cramer's ranting about vaccine mandates and other communist views. According to the FDA there were 1200 deaths from COVID jabs in the 1st 2.5 months after introduction. There were also 44,000 people who had serious illness from taking the jab. Stay out of politics and don't tell me to get a jab that could kill me or make me sick. I am tired of listening to misinformation on this vaccine's effectiveness. It's a science project and I want no part of it. If there nothing wrong with the vac why won't they release all the FDA findings for 55 years.

Much better this week, not as much politics, more focused on business, I like it better! Sometimes the interviewer asks a question, and then interrupts the person trying to answer. I didn't see it happened this week, it's better!

First, I call it the "YOU KNOW" channel. Hearing you know - you know- you know - you know constantly is really annoying to me. If they want to be taken seriously they should stop talking like idiotic teenagers.
Second, they are clearly pro business and anti working people. Only stock market investors matter, all others exist only to serve rich people, important americans. They and their guests blame unions for inflation when the real reason is rampant greedflation and collusion. It is yet another divisive TV channel unworthy of national distribution.

Love Kramer, love Tech Check and Squak on the Street, but it's SO hard watching the panels with Scott Wapner. That dude is just a complete $#*!. It's cringey and unnecessary, and dreaded. The news with Shepard Smith is just so blatantly politically biased that when they boast about being "the news" it's just transparent and bad lol. To the people in charge who are clearly disconnected from the viewer, take em both off and get a little respect and credibility back. Truth hurts.

The blatant lies that are propagated by this supposed news network are turning the United states into an oligarchy. Cocaine Cramer is paid 5 mil a year to misinform retail traders and leave us holding the bag. They can't stop, won't stop til the GAMESTOP!

Listening to Scott Wapner and his phony "its time to buy into the market" is cringeworthy. He is obviously spreading a false narrative so people will continue to watch the show. His information is very dangerous for the retail investor. We are obviously in a volatile market that may go down ( a lot). He always brings on guests who will back up his phony rosy outlook. He has made the show unwatchable.

Wall St Whores
August 6, 2021

CNBC is nothing more than the news arm of the criminals on Wall St. They push stocks their masters want to pump n dump so they can profit off them, leaving the foolish retail investor left holding the bag. They deal in lies and market manipulation and with any luck their evil doing will be prosecuted, uncovered and the guilty and complicit thrown in jail to rot for the rest of their miserable lives. The represent everything that is wrong with journalism in the modern era, a complete disgrace

Kramer
October 7, 2020

Kramer needs to calm down about us wearing a mask. Stop pushing your and your stations political agenda; this is the United States of America, people are free to wear or not wear a mask. Kramer is not a doctor, even doctors cannot agree (in private) on the effectiveness of the mask so give it a rest, stick to your clown act. Jumping around like a fool giving bad stock advice to the very basic masses.

CNBC had an offering for a CNBC pro account for a 7-day trial which would then auto-renew after the week trial. I reached out to them about being charged at the onset of this trial and they refused to refund me for this error. They could have easily chalked this up to a misunderstanding but instead they refused the refund and opted to keep my money for a purchase that wasn't legitimate.

In addition to that, it is clear that their reporting has gotten less and less transparent, as they have been falsely depicting the news in a way that benefits them. I hate when big corporations use their power to influence the minds of the public, and it is evident that this is their top goal, rather than delighting their customer.

Started fact checking and could not believe that there weren't a backlog of lawsuits!
I followed the political trail and found the Clinton foundation and Soros would gain much control over what the public would see on a repetitive well choreographed broadcast campaign.

Misleading the public
February 1, 2021

Their stories need to be fact-checked! They are creating false headlines on what "retail investors" are focusing on, in order to help hedge funds close their positions. They have stated multiple times that the shorts are covered but it is impossible to cover 68mil shares in few days when there are only around 48mil shares in total. They also stated that this movement may lead to new investors making poor investment choices but CNBC finds it morally okay for hedge funds to create naked shorts...

On many occasions I have watched as one of their hosts states something either as fact or as investment guidance that is eventually proven completely wrong. People can be wrong, that's not the worst part. The worst part is they remove materials from their site that show how wrong their hosts were. They do this ALL THE TIME when it comes to Jim Cramer, their biggest hack who couldn't find consistency in a bowl of soup. Listening to his advice would make you a worse than average trader because you'd never know if you were coming or going. CNBC also pushed back HEAVILY on the lab leak theory at the start of the pandemic, going so far as to make fun of people that suggested it. Now they're acting like they were open to it all along and they just didn't have the 'evidence'. Wow. Pathetic news organization and unfortunately becoming par for the course for NBC.
