Dr. Patrick Byrne, Overstock Com Inc - Chairman and President
I didn't accuse you of that. I said I wanted to ask you that. My plan was to go on your show and ask you on the show. And I'm glad you cleared it up.
----------------------------------
Jim Cramer, - Analyst
I do admit, welcome the theater of it, I welcome the excitement of it, I think that you're building a company, there are guys who are going to detract, I personally would not take on the detractors because it actually helps you in the end. If they're short in the wrong, your stock goes up more. But I just don't want it to be as personal as it was because there's no money on the line for me on this.
----------------------------------
Dr. Patrick Byrne, Overstock Com Inc - Chairman and President
Well, it-- it was a legitimate question for me to ask.
----------------------------------
Jim Cramer, - Analyst
Absolutely, absolutely legitimate and that's why I did not, you know, pick up my phone and call my lawyer and say, I don't want to do that. You're a businessman. I'm a businessman. And I congratulate on what is obviously a triumph.
----------------------------------
Dr. Patrick Byrne, Overstock Com Inc - Chairman and President
Did you pass on, last time you had me on the show you did read what you described as an e-mail from David Rocker.
----------------------------------
Jim Cramer, - Analyst
I may have misspoke. I mean I had no communication with Rocker other than to ask him for permission to read his posting that was on TheStreet.com.
----------------------------------
Dr. Patrick Byrne, Overstock Com Inc - Chairman and President
Do you know if he -- I remember I -- I told you to tell him to double up on his short, do you know if he happened to do that?
----------------------------------
Jim Cramer, - Analyst
No I don't have that kind of communication.
----------------------------------
Dr. Patrick Byrne, Overstock Com Inc - Chairman and President
He's probably right this time. He should probably double up again.
----------------------------------
Jim Cramer, - Analyst
Well, you know, whatever he wants to do is fine but I don't want you to give the impression that I am owned by him, he is owned by me. I've met him once in the supermarket. I'm kind of an independent operator as you are.
----------------------------------
Dr. Patrick Byrne, Overstock Com Inc - Chairman and President
Journalists can ask questions, I can ask questions.
----------------------------------
Jim Cramer, - Analyst
Oh, absolutely and I applaud your questioning and you critical approach to the way the press covers your company.
----------------------------------
Dr. Patrick Byrne, Overstock Com Inc - Chairman and President
Thank you very much, Jim.
----------------------------------
Jim Cramer, - Thank you.
