I bet poster meant the +7 figure as 'before taxes' but the 'net' figure is only like a grand (strangely that makes for a real kick-in-the-as* marginal tax rate). That's the only context, though, in which commenting that a $120 subscription 'is a great buy for me' makes ANY sense. That, or it's the most understated straight line of the millenium. What a 'bargain.' I'm speechless.... There, I hope that clears that up <g>.

P.s. It's hard to avoid Cramer, he's somewhat ubiquitous. As a result, I've kind of tallied his hits and misses in my head. Not surprisingly, he's right sometimes and wrong sometimes. Wow, go figure. AMZN was one of his greatest calls. His commentary regarding the limited number of shares and the huge demand made a ton of sense and the market cap did fly from 6-7 billion dollar range to $35 billion. Only problem is he sounds to have gone short AMZN at least about 14 billion ago. I think that's why he's called a trader. It's a trader's newsletter. And now it's a publicly traded company attempting to goose revenues/earnings. Say it loud and proud and hope for a few over the wall runs. Dave Kingman would be proud.

Dirty filthy nasty disclaimer: I've owned post-split AMZN since the 60s (stock certs were in tye-dye).
