I am curious. Who follows the stock information services like Briefing and Cramer's The.Street? If you listen to Cramer, everyone in the business is reading his online newsletter including every trading desk that exists. I have been looking for a kind of replacement to CNBC since I do not have the time to watch TV through the day as I sit in front of my PC to work. I find Briefing very worthwhile, both in the timely information they provide on the market and individual stocks, but also the information they provide on economic reports and their rundown, and even their periodic edjucational material on the market and those economic reports. Briefing even has the ratings of select industries and companies. The.Street also covers more these areas except not as much space is spent on economic news, and they do not rate industries and companies. They are expanding their edjucational content in the form of articles published over the weekend. They do seem to to a fair coverage of market related news stories that are informative. Cramer IMO is definitely going through some personal problems. His past articles have been issue oriented to the point of distracting the writer from the topic that he was writing about, and he rambled in his articles. At times much of his article was focused on him and his "Trading Goddess" wife as the real topic. By the end he did not cover what I would consider are the obvious more important issues related to the topic of the article such as his article on options expiration. A reader who is intelligent and no neophyte in the markets and options e-mailed him in an attempt to have him explain a few points related to an article he did on options. He wrote her back essentially saying that he will not answer her question because she is "stupid" and needs to read up on the subject of options herself. Cramer also abruptly left CNBC by his choice. But in his latest attempts at journalism, particularily in his reopened "Options School" articles, he appears to be more focused providing much more worthwhile relevant content and less of a focus on himself. He is now back on CNBC from what I hear. Perhaps these are good signs and Cramer is "up" from here. Am I sounding like a trader evaluating a stock selection??? Still, stocks are defined by the people trading and investing in them. Bob Graham
