 Where does the mystery of the Dow averaging 10% a year come from? |
The Dow opened in 1896 at $40 and was $1000 in 1972. That is exactly inflation. The Dollar decreased to 1/25 of its 1896 value. That means, until 1972, the Dow merely kept par with inflation.

I like many of the shows on CNBC (I often just keep it on in the background while I'm working on the computer). Also, there are tons of websites and thousands of great books. I used to be a financial advisor, so email me if you want to know more. |

CNBC is okay but the anchors and panel experts talk a lot while saying very little. Many times I've heard them recommend stocks with without justifications. I like Squawk Box in the morning if you are watching tv that early. Power Lunch is okay but drags on and repeats information from the morning. In the afternoon, Kudlow and Company is unwatchable. The other evening show with the four younger guys at a desk is utterly unwatchable as well.
Also on CNBC, Jim Cramer is good but take and an hour to present 40 minutes of material. He can often blow hot air, especially during his (very entertaining) Lightning Round.
WSJ is overrated and only tells you where money is being made after the fact. It is good for getting a feel for market sentiment but you need to make a consistent effort to read over the course of weeks.
The Economist is wonderfully informative but is much more economic, political and international and doesn't really give you much in the way of specific actionable advice.
Nightly Business Report on PBS sucks. I can't figure out why it's been on for so long.
The best sources I've found are websites like Yahoo/Google/Marketwatch that have the wire service news stories and The Street with it's commentary. There are 20 or so famous books that all professionals have read, lists are easily found online.
Bloomberg, CNBC and others put out some excellent mp3 podcasts depending on what specific topic you are interested in. I listening to them on either in the car and/or on the train. |

Watch a little Cramer every couple of days ( CNBC twice a day 6 and 11 ? Eastern) but get every minute of Fast Money..
CNBC at 8 Eastern... Five different approaches, specialties, opinions... good, straight- talking, covering all sectors..( I have made beautiful returns lately ..4 months.. with recs from Eric Bolling in mining, refining, and agriculture)
Ocassionally you'll get tossed a loser, but it's up to you to take your own look at the companies they recommend or takedown....
Set that Tivo !!
P.S. I used to watch the last of the Fox " money shows" on Sat morn..." Cashin' In"...but lately they have all turned into opinionated screamers... |

Well, if you watch CNBC, you will not really learn about investing. This is investing pornography. This is advertising disguised as investing.
To really learn about investing, you are gonna have to turn off the TV and read some books which have an academic foundation to them. Or, if you want a more passive strategy, get an audio book of Investing for Dummies or A Random Walk Down Wall Street. Go to iTunes to download them. Or, go to the podcast section of iTunes and download some stuff from Vanguard or Fidelity for free.
I learned by reading 28 books and then writing one myself. I have never seen anything on TV that was even remotely valuable to the field of investing. Certainly not anything on Jim Cramer's show. |

Jim Cramer's Mad Money! It's on CNBC at I believe 6 & 9 Mon-Fri, maybe it's 6 & 11, not 100% sure. The man is extremely energetic and not only does it make for great tv, but is extremely insightful and educates you about the stock market and what sectors/companies to research. |
