Here comes trouble: <snip>Wrong! Dispatches from the Front: Cramer Welcomes Herb Greenberg to TheStreet.com By James J. Cramer 2/4/98 8:16 AM ET We at TheStreet.com are dedicated to telling the truth and exposing chicanery wherever it may rear its putrid head in the investment world. And, of course, we are driven to try to help you make money. For that you need weapons in your arsenal that exceed those of the miscreants and false prophets and bogus promoters... But today we go nuclear. Today TheStreet.com welcomes Herb Greenberg to the ranks of its daily writers, a man who brings megatonnage to our site both in his ceaseless digging and his boundless energy to show both sides of the story. I confess to being a closet Greenberg fanatic for years and years... ...In Herb's columns we read the first chinks in the accounting at 3COM. Herb explained the bear case of Iomega when there wasn't supposed to be one. Herb exposed more four-letter companies in a week than an investment bank would in a decade. And he kept whole brokerage houses honest; no mean task. He was, and is, one of a kind. That's why when Herb announced he was ready for a change I was determined to bring him to www.thestreet.com. He is too good, performs too much of a public service, and is too, well, big, to be just a SF Chron pass around or a footnote on the Fed Filings. Here, read by virtually every major trader and salesman at every major trading desk in the world, Herb can make a huge difference in keeping The Street honest. And you, our members, informed earlier than everyone else. I welcome him to the site, starting next month, and wish him and his family well in their big move east. I am proud to work side by side with him on the site. He is the best Wall Street reporter there is.<end snip>
