Sure, they're not trying to discover a cure for cancer, their just selling makeup and clothes, but they do work hard to sell their products and brand.

It’s All a Countdown to What?

So now CNBC has a little Facebook IPO countdown button in the upper right hand corner of their homepage, and it's sponsored by TD Ameritrade. That's not all though, once you click over on the link you're taken to a rather nice page with all the articles about the Facebook IPO you could ever want to read in your lifetime.

George Soros & Maria Bartiromo Have a Hat Competition

Maria Bartiromo, “The Money Honey”, Tells It Like It Is

This Out to Lunch interview in Vanity Fair with CNBC's Maria Bartiromo is from back in September of 2010, but she presciently says exactly what many of the Occupy Wall Street protesters were thinking and gets to exactly why many of them were protesting. There's nothing wrong with someone making piles of money but if they make risky bets with piles of money and then still get bonuses and there's no recourse for the risks they take, then there's a big problem with that arrangement. In other words, bailouts with golden parachutes just doesn't fly in any society.

Why, I asked
