Keep in mind 99% of people who go on CNBC or make stupid reports or recommendations have no vested interest in the implied outcome. None whatsoever. They are selling books or selling newsletters or selling videos or selling infrastructure or selling trade ideas, but definitely have NO skin in the game. It's also very easy to call yourself a trader: just get a zecco (or w/e the retail company of the month is), seed with 1000, and buy one share of a penny stock. Congrats: you are a trader :)
