March MAD-ness -- CNBC Has A Stock-Tourney -- By .Txts, and Tweets(!)


The would-be stock-pickers over at CNBC are conducting an NCAA-sytle "Sweet Sixteen" of stock picking (well, not even close, actually). Silly, I know. Especially since the first round bracket pitted a pharma against. . . a chain of burger restaurants. But, underdog Mickey-Dees just "upset" No. 3 Ranked Merck, thus:

. . . .McDonalds (14) beat Merck (3) in a blowout with 76% of the vote favoring Mickey D. . . .

How will it play out? You decide. Text the word MADNESS to 26221 to start playing (message and data rates may apply). . . .

Okay. I admit it. I am apparently way, way short on actually newsworthy material this morning. I do apologize. Something better, very soon.
