The Street.com's Cramer, at 1634, made some remarks about financial reporters that was not flattering. Was he talking about the CNBC reporters? Are The Street.com and CNBC now at war?

Ted, How about a segment where CNBC sends a reporter to the streets, asking investors about stocks they like and why, then posting a chart of that stock....I think it would be fun and interesting. Nice picture of you guys in Fortune! Jill

Ted, FWIW someone did the pro-wrestling/stock market combo! Last night's Daily Show on Comedy Central had a segment w/ Stephen Colbert reporting on the WWF IPO from what was supposed to be a firm box at the NYSE and juxtaposing the pro-wrestling rant w/ commentary on the Yen. I don't know if you saw it. And if you did, I hope that like me, you switched over to the X-Show on FX and caught the very informative segment on men's undergarments from International Male... ...modeled by Perfect 10 magazine models. Pro-wrestling and the stock market. Babes in men's underwear. Ah, the beauty of the juxtaposition. Best Regards, Tom Disclaimer: The word "babes" is not intended to imply any misyoginistic or chauvanistic conotation. Some women have a level of physical attractiveness that reaches "babe" status. In theory, of course, these women could very well be potential nobel lauretes in applied physics, but the likelihood of a nobel laurete in physics also modeling the "wonder-bra" of men's underwear on a late-night talk show is slim. If any of the Perfect 10 models would like to prove the "babe" label is a superficial tag that reduces the totally of their being to T&A, sensitive new-age guy that I am, they are welcome to invite me to dinner.
