Old habits die hard. One of the remainders from my trading days is that CNBC is still constant background in my home office. Obviously, I keep the volume set to mute, but occasionally will tune in to hear an interview.
Kraft/Heinz reported this morning and is currently getting taken to the woodshed. (down 8%) I don’t like the set-up currently, but another down-big day, with volume, and I’ll start getting interested. So, I turned up the volume because the onscreen discussion was about KFH and other food companies.
Great Timing!
As soon as the TV was unmuted, I heard this gem come from one of the journalists, “So it seems, people are currently prioritizing eating.”
Of course it’s difficult to interview people on live TV. But I’m hoping on-air talent at CNBC get paid much more than the average American. So with great power comes great responsibility.
I’m not a professional financial journalist or a historian, but I feel very comfortable in saying that all of our ancestors prioritized eating. That’s why they lived. Everyone now and in the foreseeable future will also prioritize eating.
Try harder CNBC on-air talent. Try harder.
