How does this fit with what Cramer said about BBI in Jim Cramer' s Mad Money In-Depth Stock Picks, Feb. 23: "Cramer says investors should sell BBI before Tuesday and buy some back after a selloff"???

Well, if you look at the chart the sell-off seems to have happened.

In fact, it's well documented that Cramer's picks aren't any good, and you guys have even carried articles about this on your own web site:

I don't understand why you keep publishing Cramer's stuff. You should link to these articles as a health warning in every article about him.
