  • Best Show, But Bar Is Low

    This is clearly the best show on CNBC, but the bar is low. On TV, there is an insufferable 30 minutes of commercials — that’s half the show. The host, Scott Wapner, is astute, but inserts himself far too often and comes off as asking questions only to hear his own view. Josh, Jenny, Stephanie, Weiss, Joe, and Jim are excellent regulars. Jason Snipes seems knowledgeable, but needs to assert himself more and mix it up with the others. Wapner admonishing Weiss on air was a new low for the station. ... more

    Why is this show so freaking LOUD. Isolate and remove the unnecessary background noise. It’s like watching cable news.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

New Month, Better Tech Trade? 11/2/26
Q: How exactly can investors, Mike, mimic some of those types of strategies?
He describes the University of California allocation ETF as 90% S&P 500 and 10% short-term investment-grade bonds, and says individual investors could build a similar allocation with ETFs. He cautions that the strong performance of U.S. large-cap stocks over the past decade may not continue.
New Month, Better Tech Trade? 11/2/26
Q: What exactly is driving that outperformance for these big college endowments?
Mike Vogelzang says traditional U.S. equities, particularly value stocks, have been the main drivers, while private equity, credit and real estate have performed adequately.
Post-Midterm Playbook 11/4/26
Q: What do you think the election results and data-center restrictions mean for the AI trade?
Panelists argue that existing data-center capacity and hyperscalers may benefit, while chipmakers and companies building new infrastructure face greater risk and possible slower growth.
Post-Midterm Playbook 11/4/26
Q: Do you agree that the midterm results set the stage for investors to rebuild equity exposure into year end?
The panel sees a strong rally and potential support from lower oil, easing election uncertainty and market rotation, but cautions that the Iran War, inflation, interest rates and data-center restrictions could limit gains.
Is the AI Trade in Trouble? 11/5/26
Q: Is the data center going through a similar transformation with AI because of these energy and resource demands?
Amon says efficient power consumption will be an important differentiator for data centers because total operating costs matter to hyperscalers and cloud providers.
