that Cramer is a...moron
his Street.com adds zero value
if anything, it provides negative value


JW, The Street.com isn't that bad. I don't read Cramer because his investment style is vastly different from mine, and because his track record is lousy. Most of the other folks I don't read either. But there articles that make the $99/yr well worth it. I find Justin Lahart's articles to be some of the best anywhere when I'm looking for an overall impression of the market. For example...

The Coming Week: The Bulls Keep Running, and Things Get Frothier -- By Justin Lahart -- Associate Editor

Jeff Applegate, the Lehman Brothers strategist whose 80% stock allocation has led him to regularly top best-blend lists, may be Wall Street's best spokesman for the idea of the new economy....

I also have a lot of respect for Jim Seymour who has been an editor at PC Magazine since the early 80s. I had a subscription to PC Magazine for more than a decade and I know Jim Seymour knows the computer industry. He was an early forecaster of the potential of Qwest with his article back in 98 (?). I got into QWST after reading it and made enough $$$ to pay for the next 100 years of Street.com subscriptions.

They also did an article many moons ago on RFMD before most folks (I) had even heard of it. Again I made enough from that investment to pay for at least 100 years of subscriptions.

So, although I'm not a big fan of Cramer, or even the majority of the site, I find it a bargain at $99 a year.
