I have something for her mouth!!!!!

It's a journalist, it's not like they report real news honestly.

"Mmm, Erin. She can say whatever she wants."

Which is exactly want the network wants you to think. That's why the reporting on CNBC (and its cousins) is so bad.

Me? I'd rather have an ugly woman that knew what she was talking about.

Looks like another Lewinsky, putting disgusting things in her mouth ...

Anybody who calls Bush a monkey on air can't be all bad.

@Gavron

Can you sons of bitches PLEASE leave the politics out of your posts here!? Pots calling kettles black is a very risky way to begin or sustain a viable dialogue.

It's an election year, every time there is a changing of the guard we hear the word Recession and the stocks take a tumble. Regan to Bush, Bush to Clinton, Clinton to George, George to now. It's a political maneuver to get elected. Johnson owned the Texas media and now Mitt owns Fox, what do you expect, fair and unbiased reporting? It never existed. Look at those previous times, the stock tanked, people bought it low and sold it for 5-12 times it's worth in a few years. The stock market is a long term gamble, not a short term paycheck.

CNBC's Erin Burnett is the shit analyst of 2007, 2008, and beyond.

Any stock that goes from nearly 200 to 133 in the first 25 days of January 2008 certainly earns the "shit stock" label. This isn't a good point for us fanboys to argue about.

@ Randian

Easy there, big fella' -- easy!

Your remark was more inflammatory than Gavron's.

Jan 25, 08 - 12:30 pm Comment from: IKON

Sales are really slow these days, I've been to a local applestore, and there was like nobody there. What a difference with 3 weeks ago.

Nevertheless I bought some stock. How deep can it sink?

hey Gavron, keep your anti-political-post politics to yourself!

uh... i mean Randian

Good looking and unfortunately-correct (so far), what's the problem?

It's not a knock on Apple its stock gets played like a fiddle.

They're gonna run it up again later in the year and then dump it again for big profit.

Pls stop all those puns about putting things in her mouth! It's really unbecoming of you people.

Me, on the other hand...

Um, maroons, the link mentions calling Chimpy McAWOL a monkey. It's actually relevant.

Jan 25, 08 - 12:40 pm Comment from: MaLvado

scripted play on words using an expletive

I'd rather go long term and play the following:

1) Assessment as current is correct;
2) Assessment @ end-2008 will be drastically uncorrect;
3) Assessment of Erin as current = she's smart and hot;
4) Assessment of Erin @ end-2008- = she'll still be smart and hot;

Conclusion: DAMMIT!!!

NBC and all its offspring are un-American nutroots. Nothing anyone on the NBC payroll says should ever be listened to.

"Chimpy McAWOL"

LMFAO !

(oh man, that was funny!)

Jan 25, 08 - 12:47 pm Comment from: Angelus520

Yeah, she's always been my favorite stock hottie. Wow...just wow...

If they want to regain some class, then Maria Bartiromo and Erin Burnett should take opposing viewpoints and then settle it by mud wrestling. And there's still room for Jell-O later.

Jan 25, 08 - 12:53 pm Comment from: mike_in_helsinki

No, she cannot say 'whatever'.

People in her position are expected to keep that kind of foul language out of their broadcasts.

So, is it ok that next round she would say, "oh fuck, Apple is the asshole turd of the market"?

Where does it end? They need to reprimand her, force her to acknowledge the error, and move on, and never do it again.

Isn't she supossed to be blond at least

Jan 25, 08 - 12:54 pm Comment from: LordRobin

Do they mean AAPL is "sh*t"? Or "the sh*t"?

Erin is hot but her voice gets annoying after awhile. It's best to mute the audio and just look at her.

Becky Quick is hot too. Her legs are gorgeous.

I'd hit it.

I've hit worse.

Jan 25, 08 - 01:06 pm Comment from: Jubei

Hmmm I wonder if she has DSL?

Waiter, where is my Erin/Maria sandwich?

"If they want to regain some class, then Maria Bartiromo and Erin Burnett should take opposing viewpoints and then settle it by mud wrestling. And there's still room for Jell-O later."

Would that be Jell-O gelatin or Jell-O instant pudding?

Jan 25, 08 - 01:20 pm Comment from: Maginary

Damn she is hot. She has some Yasmeen Bleeth look about her, without the drugs. Maybe. Who the hell knows anymore.

I think she is less hottie of all the hotties on TV...something is weird with her nose.

AAPL shares may have dropped this last few days but then so have nearly all the World's shares. Billions have been wiped off company values over the past week alone.
Apple's retail performance as a trading company is up which is against the trend in its sector.
It was just unfortunate that Apple issued a warning for the forthcoming quarter just as stock markets everywhere went into decline.
Erin is wrong in the long term. In the short term I hope they drop a bit more, then they will be worth buying.

"Jell-O gelatin or Jell-O instant pudding?"

We may have to try them all and let a qualified panel decide. Including all of the flavors. Fox will have to compete, of course. Let's see Ainsley Earhardt and Courtney Friel go at it first. We report. You decide.

Jan 25, 08 - 01:36 pm Comment from: Canuck

Erin Burnett is not a journalist; she is a commentator. A pretty face to go along with the pretty graphics and charts that CNBC is banking on. CNBC is like the USA Today of the buisness media world.

It was just unfortunate that Apple issued a warning

Um...they didn't issue a "warning"...

Jan 25, 08 - 01:45 pm Comment from: The Dude

Ampar.... if Fox is covering it... they will have to leave one crowd favorite out for no good reason ala Ron Paul style.

The Dude abides

@ Canuck

"CNBC is like the USA Today of the business media world."

CNBC is on the NY Stock Exchange floor every day. I don't see Fox Business News or Bloomberg TV around. They can get news out faster than those two.

Also, CNBC can get access to Warren Buffet and U.S. Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson in the blink of an eye. Major CEOs watch CNBC every day because they rely on the news they report.

CNBC is more than pretty faces and fancy charts. CNBC is #1.

"Any stock that goes from nearly 200 to 133 in the first 25 days of January 2008 certainly earns the "shit stock" label. This isn't a good point for us fanboys to argue about."

Did I fall asleep and wake up in December?

No. It's still JANUARY.

We can have Bill Cosby will be the guest referee.

Jan 25, 08 - 01:48 pm Comment from: Cubert

I've got a scripted play she can perform in!

@Leftist Media-

Oh please. NBC is owned by one of the nation's largest defense contractors (and world's largest corporations), GE. They're hardly unAmerican. Just because you hate the politics of Keith Olbermann and swallow everything said by Bill O'Reilly doesn't make someone -- or some company -- a traitor.

"CNBC is on the NY Stock Exchange floor every day. I don't see Fox Business News or Bloomberg TV around. "

that is because Fox was doing the wonderful new bit on exorcism the other day!

seriously, can't they be sued for false advertising when they put "news" in their name?

All others pale in comparison to Laurie Dhue on Fox. I'd like her even if she carried a Zune and used Vista. (But thankfully, Apple laptops appear prominently on the Fox news reports.)

Jan 25, 08 - 02:37 pm Comment from: ChrissyOne

Bill O'Reilly is right about everything he says. He told me so.

none of you clownz would kick her out of bed... lol.

She is a cunning stunt.

Typical media – apparently you can't have a media presence without trying to drum up some controversy, so when it's a slow news day, let's pick a high-profile stock and trash it!

Fact is that the entire world's markets have declined heavily this month, particularly in the past week or so. Does that mean Apple's a bad company, with a poor outlook, and has only succeeded on empty promises and smoke and mirrors like the dot-coms of the late 1990s?

Nope. It just means that Apple was caught up in the typical profit taking right after a fantastic earnings announcement which occurred right as the market dropped.

I'd still rather put my money in Apple than Palm, Microsoft, etc.

I have a 18" thing for her beautiful mouth

Jan 25, 08 - 03:31 pm Comment from: Ampar

You have a small scale VW from the 1960s for her mouth? That's freaky, man.
