I never got enough of Nightly Business Report. You can listen to CNBC and Bloomberg all day online, satellite or CATV, or listen in the car on SiriusXM and not get the same information as 30 minutes of NBR because Nightly Business Report covered stocks that are mostly forgotten by CNBC and Bloomberg both of whom seem to report multiple times per day on the most popular few US large caps but miss all of the small and mid caps and most of the foreign opportunities. CNBC is barely even aware of any non-US equities and Bloomberg touches on the overall markets, bonds, currencies, with a glimpse into a small percentage of large cap companies. CNBC and Bloomberg talk more about Disney than all other media companies combined. CNBC and Bloomberg discuss Apple several times per day but rarely mention Samsung, Nokia, Ericsson, Motorola, LG, HTC, Qualcomm, etc and on the rare instances it is a quick blurb not an in-depth analysis. CNBC and Bloomberg analyze the heck out of their few favorites but completely ignore most everything else. There is no reliable vetted source for investment news other than websites and the internet is now the only place to get this information. No wonder cord cutting is so prevalent. CNBC, Bloomberg and other news aggregators are "dumbing down" their stories to appeal to the masses just as mainstream news did long ago: no longer providing valuable, actionable information but instead providing irrelevant feel-good and fear stories instead of financial knowledge that could be used to create wealth.
