I haven't watched CNBC since slightly after the elections when the GE "influence" (cough cough partisan pandering cough cough) combined with the annoying screaming from Democratic "strategists" made it not only financial fiction but just plain annoying. But, since my cable provider doesn't see the necessity of Bloomberg TV I was stuck having some of their post-market shows on as background noise for an otherwise dull period of the day. I remember seeing Jeff Macke and thinking at the very least he seemed knowledgeable and somewhat entertaining. Then I checked his website and had no idea what he did or what he managed. Apparently, the answer to both was not much.
