Many here I've seen - don't watch the talking heads on TV and I too try to avoid them. Cool graphs and tickers and hype - I just don't feel it's business, I don't feel it's investing. (My usual disclosure: Novice here. Avoided stocks and paper assets all my life, now early retirement sort of makes it a need)
Also anything I say is just my opinion - not saying someone is good nor bad.
Anyhow- Cramer on CNBC. I watch him 2-3 times a week not for advice - but moreso to see what he's telling people to do and thing and yeah, I find him humorous. I do NOT act on what he says. He knows way more than me BUT....to me it just seems that almost every time it's "HEY YEAH! CEO IS A GOOD GUY!!!". Then he'll interview CEOs and while it's good to see their posture, the whites of their eyes, etc..... the interview is "Mr CEO....did you go to the bathroom last night? Tell our audience, it was a #2 right? And now..... Mr CEO tell the audience how you wiped from back to front. WOW!!!! audience did you hear? He went back to front! Buy buy buy!!! It's almost like the darn thing is pre-scripted.
Frankly I get nervous if Cramer suggests something I'm into - recently he got on COKE and PROCTOR I just had to ignore it and pretend it didn't happen.
Also on CNBC they'll interview someone who is giving his market outlook etc and CNBC puts up what the guy says BEFORE HE SAYS IT. I watch and say. hmmmmmm how did they know he's gonna say "buy industrials" before he actually said it? How did they put that graphic and bullet points up?
BUT..... I love Halftime Report on CNBC. Judge Wapner the host - keeps the guests in line and on topic and accountable. People get called on the carpet for mistakes, lauded for good calls. There's light skirmishes - but in name of debate, not scoring cheap points. Yeah, doesn't hurt that a few of the lady contributors are both accomplished and photogenic. I don't have a 'favorite' panelist - I love the combo they bring
Josh Brown - I feel he 'falls in love' a bit much - but I like him.
Jim Lebenthal - solid...has basis for what he says.
Jenny Harrington - like her. Her thing is people who want to preserve wealth and collect 5% dividends. On some of her calls she's been early - but some have been good. Sometimes she'll say 'I talked to management, they say dividend is fine and things are on track'- - I admit, that counts for me.
Stephanie Link - very strict on P/E, earnings growth, etc. I like it.
Back to the host 'Judge" Wapner - even when he has some high level guy from one of the big investment houses on - he does respectfully - hold them accountable too and doesn't suck up and give easy questions.
I would say that combining those 4 together -- - it does give me a slight direction on how I want to proceed with things.
So yeah, there's a few talking heads I listen to.
Anyhow, if you read this far, apologies for the 60 seconds of life I borrowed from your day
