Well, full disclosure-- I LUV Cramer. Cramer exposes nonsense on a daily basis. Cuban was impressive (he is also a loudmouth-- at least in speaking with umpires!) I think we like the guy because he is no BS. And he made a lot of money when others let it go up in flames. AND Don-- I am sure YOU noted this (you have made this point often, and you are right on!)-- he was NOT greedy. He left a lot of money on the table. Something to think about!

Yeah Don.....that line by Haines was a classic, no doubt...

Sorry DMP, I've seen Cramer be wrong a lot more than right.....he talks about his winners, but conveniently forgets his losers.....how he's has handled the whole Street.com, Fox news thing speaks volumes (too me) about his sharpness...in 1998, Cramer managed to pull a 2% return in his fund...he was constantly wrong that year...I quit taking him seriously after that..

I do find him entertaining though....also, he does have a sense of lightness and (a little) honesty about himself........and I do like seeing him (a frenetic, hyper type) stuck with all these dour guys...makes it tolerable viewing...

Anything, anything not to have to watch Pisani....and that Michelle Cabruso-Cabrera....she's takes the cake (unknowledgable, ill-prepared, over her head on almost any assignment)

TheStreet.com to Charge Readers
For Cramer, Greenberg Columns
By Brian Steinberg
Dow Jones Newswires
NEW YORK -- Business news Web site company TheStreet.com Inc. will ask readers to pay for access to articles by two of its better-known writers, James Cramer and Herb Greenberg.

The company operates two distinct Web news operations, the free TheStreet.com and the subscription-based RealMoney.com. Previously, content from the two money scribes appeared on the subscription site first, and a day or so later made its way to the free site.

In a brief note to readers published Tuesday, Mr. Cramer, a co-founder of the company and an adviser to its chief executive, said TheStreet was responding to RealMoney subscribers' concerns that they were paying for content that nonsubscribers could access for free.

"We decided to make it so that my stuff and Herb's stuff -- marquee names on the site -- do not go free," Mr. Cramer said in an interview. "The early returns are positive."

Mr. Cramer said he would continue to write about mutual funds for TheStreet.com, "but if you want to see me write about stocks, you have to pay."

TheStreet's decision to charge for access to its top writers's stories comes as several Web-content operations ponder changes in business models to gain more revenue.

Salon.com said last week it would offer readers a subscription-based version of its Web site that contained no advertisements. The move followed one from Britannica.com, a Web site based on the Britannica encyclopedia series, that asked surfers to pay for access to certain parts of its site.
