CNBC Contributor: ‘I Also Like Dicks Quite A Bit.’

There’s really nothing constructive that can be said here. In fact, this whole thing is downright juvenile. But we’re allowed to laugh, so here’s a fun little gem that showed up on CNBC this week. Analyst Stephen Weiss was giving his stock recommendations, and he was talking about how the weather could affect retail sales.

Weiss recommended Dick’s Sporting Goods stock for the holiday season, but accidentally truncated the name, hence the hilarious near-misunderstanding in the video. The camera lingers on him a bit, as if to give him a chance to immediately correct himself, but he doesn’t take it and the rest of the panel moves on. You can hear one person quickly laughing, but no one acknowledges the verbal faux pas beyond it.

But what Weiss is really trying to say is that you should feel comfortable with Dick’s in your portfolio. Don’t think of Dick’s as something foreign and uncertain, think of Dick’s as a good opportunity. But if you’re going to invest your money in such a volatile market, when you go with Dick’s always make sure to have protection. After all, you can’t afford any unplanned assets at this time.

There was a time when dicks.com didn’t redirect to dickssportinggoods.com. I found out the hard way.

No pun intended.

You gotta love the candid guffaw from his colleague, and the anchor woman just trying to “yes” it away. The man has a point, dicks are hard to beat!

I remember when the last CNBC “expert” told us to buy Dick’s stock. (Thats a great porn name) It was right after the bought Galyans and grew too fast and gained too much debt. The stock tanked. Thanks Kramer!

It’s a crap shoot.

For those that shop at Dick’s Sporting Goods, calling it Dick’s is common.

Does someone need new interns?

What if it is challenging to get to the store? Wouldn’t that make Dick’s hard?

You guys like to look up dirty words in the dictionary too, I presume.

Did you mean Cramer? Who thinks Cramer is an expert of anything? Kudlow and Santelli are my dudes of choice on the network. Cramer shows up on MJ. And we know where MJ stands. :)
