Cramer on I* default [Cramer should also cite the SI GSTRF thread for its prescient analysis eons ago about the IRID business plan critical problems. djane] COMMENTARY >> WRONG! REAR ECHELON REVELATIONS Full Circle By James J. Cramer 8/12/99 4:26 PM ET What was the point of that session? I mean if we are going to start and end at the same place, I mean, why bother? Of course the intraday shenanigans certainly had their positives and negatives. My favorite was Hewlett-Packard (HWP:NYSE), which I bought all the way down, but when I went for Diet Doctor Pepper dropped three points when it lost a case to Xerox (XRX:NYSE), which dropped two points. Talk about lose-lose! I am not sweating this PPI number. I am sweating the fact that oil never seems to come down, which makes this whole bond exercise a push. Oh, and the SOX finally took a day off. To me, seemed like just profit-taking. Random musings: Iridium (IRID:Nasdaq) defaults. When people question me about what TheStreet.com has that the other guys don't, I say we have Herb Greenberg, who kept you from being an Iridiot. James J.
