  • Why Did they change it

    Um John Forte was great and now we get Melissa Lee x 2 bc she does fast money . These two are really boring hosts I don’t understand why they changed the hosts that were great . Stupid move and now another bad host change on another CNBC show that makes me skip the program . If it’s not broken don’t fix it

  • Very good

    I prefer Closing Bell over Overtime. Scott Wapner is an excellent host and brings in quality guests. I was glad to see the switch to Melissa Lee and Mike Santoli, because I was not a huge fan of Jon Fortt. Usually, I had passed on Overtime unless specific company earnings were being released after the market close. Lastly, please stop bringing back members of the Halftime Report investment committee so often. Guests like Adam Parker, Liz Ann Sonders, Dan Greenhaus, Ed Yardeni, Prof. Siegel, and ... more

  • I wish the CNBC hosts would stop sucking up to Trump and call the madness out…

    I’m really tired of all the shows soft-peddling the lack of coherent strategy and meat-axe approach by ”DOGE” to “downsizing” the Federal workforce and just call it what it is - the forced destruction of government services and the administrative state for everyone but the 1%. “DOGE” should, at minimum, publish a strategy, why certain things are targeted, and REAL savings achieved, not just blowhard PR. The “uncertainty” they continually refer to is because Trump and Musk have no agenda to actua... more

Closing Bell Overtime: Markets Rally on Hopes for Iran War Ending 6/15/26
Q: What does the Iran framework mean for oil and shipping markets?
The framework could ease immediate tensions and support oil prices lower in the near term, while reopening the Strait of Hormuz and stabilizing shipping could sustain energy demand and keep markets constructive.
Closing Bell: Tech Primed for a Correction 7/1/26
Q: Your target is 7,800, right? You raise that to 78?
We raised the target based on the weaker-market backdrop and to reflect the improved earnings trajectory and the confidence in the ongoing AI-related earnings growth, while acknowledging that crowding and momentum risk remain.
Closing Bell Overtime: Markets Shift Focus as Meta Leads and Investors Size Up the Next Move 7/1/26
Q: What is driving the current rotation in tech and which names are leading the shift?

Closing Bell Overtime: Warsh Spooks Markets 6/17/26
Q: What did Warsh signal about future rate moves?

Closing Bell: Retail's Role in Mega-Cap IPO's 6/23/26
Q: What makes SpaceX's IPO approach unique and potentially replicable for future mega deals?
The fixed price point, heavy retail allocation, and clear day-one pricing reduce uncertainty for investors and set a template that could be used selectively in future mega IPOs to align demand and pricing.
