Luxury Life with Marijuana Inc.?

Whenever Markus is not travelling but working from the office – be it in Vienna or London – he can be called a TV junkie. Not that he watches soap operas, reality shows or the children’s programme, but CNBC, probably the best business TV channel globally and closest to the developments in the equity, bond and FX markets is permanently switched on. The TV channel, part of GE, is at the pulse of the markets and provides deep insight with CEO interviews, expert discussions and analysts all over the globe sharing their view on economic data company figures and other events. Geoff Cutmore, Louisa Bojesen, Stephen Sedgwick, Maria Bartiromo, Rick Santelli, Becky Quick, Mark Haines or Jim Cramer (Mad Money) are just a few of the anchor people the financial industry listens to.

Be at the pulse of the markets. With CNBC

During the weekends, when stock markets are closed, CNBC features sporting events like the PGA Tour or Cricket, travel and leisure magazines or luxury life magazines. The latter are on air even these days, when we hear about recession, global downturn and the economic crisis all day long and somehow this does not fit. Very interesting is though a documentation series which started a few weeks ago called “Marijuana Inc.” which – as the name implies quite clearly – is shedding light on the American pot industry. Does CNBC want to tell us something with this documentation? Tough times tend to increase the consumption of alcohol and tobacco – also marijuana?
