Does having a lying, self-promoting two-time convict and scumbag really help the investor community? Aren't there enough of those around already?

You know my opinion: On the aggregate, I think he did a lot more good than harm.

To the best of my knowledge, the only people he harmed were those harming others. Apparently that's not the case, according to the jury, and I'm really looking forward to learning the details.

But if someone tells me that the company I own is lying in its press releases, and it turns out they're right nearly or consistently every time they say such things, should I care that they're a "self-promoting... scumbag"?

To use an analogy, who would you rather have tell your kids about the dangers of marijuana? The guy who smoked bushels of it in his younger years, or the preacher who never took a hit in his life.

and how soon you forget what Cramer did that angered Anthony so much along with the rest of us???

Ill give you a hint.. he used his 'time slot' on CNBC to bash a stock, and had his associate covering into the massive selling.. This was back in the days when traders would hang on every word CNBC/guests had to say.. When this leaked out as 'fact' people went ballistic and I recall CNBC even stopped allowing him on the show for about 6 months until it was all forgotten..

to sit here and defend one scumbag over the next makes no sense.. dont let your hatred for Anthony spill over into defending other scumbags because Cramer is hardly someone we should consider as the epitomy of a wallstreet hero.. Herb Greenberg has an interesting past too.. I still remember his 'inside information' on YESS entertainment where he had a heads up about FCC approval on a toy phone and profited quite handsomely off the short and even wrote a nice piece in a CA. newspaper to front run his short position..

Its amazing how I sit here and read all this shit for the last few weeks and I wonder- do you folks forget some of this? or just choose to do so? because despite all the pot I smoke I to this day I remember all these scumbags and the carnage they left behind.. Hard to erase those memories.. and to see them being put on soap boxes makes me puke.. I could go on and on but Ill probably wind up getting more shit in the mail like I always do anytime I speak the truth about some of these clowns so Ill stop there..

Cramer is sludge.. Just another example of a person Anthony targeted which served alot of justice to us, the small investor.. Like it or not, some of what Anthony did was extremely helpfull to the small investor.. whether or not he had an addiction to fame, fortune, and being a criminal is another story.. but to defend Cramer is.. is.. I dunno.. sickening???

Dale get off your high horse, Cramer will go down in flames one day just like Calandra did, how Cramer still walks around is beyond me. Let's face it - everyone who is a stock leader and make suggestive posts to a following is at risk of wire fraud, racketeering, etc - even your pickfest is at risk, as mild and orderly as it is (frankly you run a very conservative sane and educational circuit) but for gosh sakes to paint Cramer like you have? gimme a break
