Here are some reasons why this may be happening:
1) CNBC is trying to improve its ratings in the wake of coming competition from Fox.
2) Michelle is trying to improve her ratings and get a full time gig being on TV after 6 AM in the morning (she is usually on much earlier).
3) This dramatic run up in the stock market is really that exciting.
4) GE's stock is at a 7 year high.
5) Sitting next to Mark Haines is really exciting.
Any other explanations?

And, to expand upon uncertainty, we need to examine what surely seems certain in life. I list here a few certainties.
1) Death...I know, it's a long way off hopefully, but get a will. If you don't currently have an heir, I'd be happy to stand-in. Remember, it's isleepwell with a small letter "i" with a dot on top of it.
2) Taxes...Although the Obama campaign told us 95% of the population will gain tax relief, I find it confusing. Currently, I take advantage of every tax deductible possibility available, and am happy with my rate. I contribute the maximum to my 401k plan, and save as much as possible. From where will this stimulus come?
3) Disappointment...Life deals serious blows. They can appear financially, emotionally, and physically to name a few. Even I must admit to failure in investments at times. I also must entertain the notion of never, ever meeting MMCC in my life time. I may never walk without a limp again either. I'm not complaining, merely stating sometimes things don't work out as planned. So plan for the worst, and hope for the best. This means visit an investment pro, perhaps visit a counseling type at times, and stay physically fit.
4) Life takes energy... Without power, we cannot go. It's simple! So, get prepared for the drain. Your boss will want something of you. And, guess what, he/she will want more. This can suck the life out of a person eventually. So, pace yourself, much like OPEC paces itself. They meet to determine how much oil will get produced, and the world usually pays the price of their agenda. Establish your own agenda, and provide your employer with their desires, but keep something in reserve for another day as well. After all, you may not always flip burgers for a living. Believe in yourself!
5) Conflict...Although it can cause early aging, I value debate. One side of a spectrum can point out the pitfalls of the other corner, and spectators can gain a massive understanding of an issue by listening. Life will present conflict in many forms. Grow with it, and learn what makes the other side tick to better establish future relationships.
6) Your Mood...This certainty I list last because you possess total control of your mood. Only you can maintain temper. I've always found it impressive how the caste of CNBC never complains about a physical ailment on air. This not only reflects professionalism, but it shows mood control. I do believe times for high emotion exist. Coaching a football game, demonstrating a valid point during debate, saving a life, all require a higher level of mood pitch.
So, where am I going? Remember, it's Saturday night, and MMCC didn't stop bye. And, in all probability I won't hit the POWERBALL lottery tonight either.
I believe with all the uncertainty surrounding us, we do still possess some certainties. And, I've only mentioned a few. Over these aforementioned certainties we hopefully maintain a bit of control or influence upon the outcome. Niccolo Machiavelli refers to this as "Fortuna"
Fortuna or luck is a half and half thing according to Machiavelli. Therefore, we deal with certainty, and uncertainty. Currently, our world seems uncertain financially. Consider the "certain" things to jog, and beat your market "uncertainties."
After writing all of this, I can only conclude certainly, these times seem uncertain. But, these uncertain times present wonderful certain returns.

I make this post thinking of the one I post about. I do not feel proud about a person "wet nursing" any situation for a dollar. And, I work for a living.
This past week, I met a very happy couple named Joanni and Ramon who shot pool much better than I. It's luck that I met them for I need practice. And, they showed me tactfully, my shot/shortcomings in the game of pool.
Oh, my neck aches, and it hurts badly. And, so do does my ankle, and shoulder as well pain awfully. Yet, the other half of my wine got racked on this day.
Perhaps I will call it royal, or special, or mixxed, or rred...or whatever theeeeeeeee over paid, and unsensitive, and uncaring, and unloving, or uncancook say. Yet, this wine possesses certain potentialities.
This is my best, thus far.
Michelle, would you care for a bottle? I'll send all of CNBC a glass. Happy Every Day!

Dear youare,
I suppose you are correct. I apologize to you, and to the others who have visited this site in excess of 50,000 times to read these posts. Please forgive my meaningless posts for I mean no harm.
It was my error to think MCC more than just an anchor woman with tremendous lung capacity. I've always thought of her as brilliant.
I will post here no more. Again, I sincerely apologize for being me.

I break my silence on this board to appeal to the Washington Post. Please give cover to the female journalist recently convicted of espionage, and sentenced to eight years in an Iranian prison. An act of this nature against one American, should get construed as an act against all Americans. If she was a spy, then, Mr. Gates, should act. If she is not a spy, then, Hillary Clinton should act. Supposedly, if elected President of this United States, Secretary Clinton would have moved heaven and earth. Can Secretary Clinton rapidly return this daughter to her parents?
At this juncture, the guilt or innocence of the American journalist seems irrelevant.
She has already spent 4 months in a prison in Iraq. We cannot allow this journalist to be a pawn in a chess game of world powers. How far are our soldiers from the Iranian border? Washington Post, and AP, please hear my call. We are all brothers, and sisters on this one. Let's bring her home soon. I name her not, for she is ours; she's away held hostage by Iranian strangers in a strange land. Can we smite them? What would Ronald Reagan do?

Liberty held hostage has a birthday tomorrow in Iran. This whole affair makes me recollect a time when I was the lone American in a youth hostel with 3 Brits, one Sudanese arms smuggler, and 50 Iranians in Bern, Switzerland. I can recall one intellectual Iranian engaging me in discourse. No one was kidnapped, and held against their will. We debated, and departed with better understandings of each other.
As an American of Swiss descent, I implore the Swiss officials acting to release our American journalist to act rapidly to bring this situation to a conclusion. Liberty will not get forgotten! Liberty breathes! Long live liberty! Switzerland, you can make the world proud in this endeavor.
Happy birthday to you one I do not name. You, and others like you around the globe inspire others to rally against tyranny. And, we forget you not.
Pawn King 4!
