      Bear Stearns Gets Emergency Funding From NY Fed, JP Morgan
      "The tape doesn't lie."

      If we have learned anything from the latest Wall St. con game it is that the tape does lie. It lies because it is created by con men who are manipulating the market. Call them institutional traders, call them hedge fund managers, call them whatever you like. But they are on a sure road to jail. Anyone who created and sold the more exotic derivatives, several layers above the actual mortgage backed tranches deserves to go to jail - and so does anyone making money now on the way down. Trust me, you are better off in jail than facing an angry lynch mob of investors.

      Tracking Jim Cramer's Performance: January 2007 Stock Picks
      Cramer is bozo the clown (I imagine he would say more like Soupy Sales from the 1950's), but always good for a laugh. He knows the market, but for a variety of reasons, can't give real trading advice that mirrors what he would actually do. For one thing, he doesn't address options, the only way to make money in a bear market. So while he normally has one hand tied behind his back, now both are tied. He must be very frustrated. Certainly his viewers are.

      As others have pointed out, it is folly to look back at his picks a year later. You need to do more homework on his calls than that.

      Now Cramer himself seems to claim on the show that he told you when to sell, but the truth is, most of the time he doesn't or it is so fleetingly mentioned that you will miss it and hold on too long.

      At the end of the day, though, the net effect of Cramer's picks is really very little different than a stock touter. He may blather on for 20 minutes with a pitch about the finer points of some company, but when all is said and done, the Cramer effect will kick up the stock (usually instantaneous as can be seen on the scrolling ticker on the screen during the show) and then the stock will die down - just like a penny stock. In fairness, though, when the DOW itself is doing a dead cat bump and looks like a penny stock, how can anyone counteract that?

      Cramer is at his best when he speaks about the controlling factors at work in the market, what is going on, and what should be going on. "They know nothing" proved to be right. He embarrassed the Fed into action. Now let's see if he can embarrass the entire market back into a rising tide. It's a big job, but I personally don't see anyone else out there who even comes close to being capable of doing it. Let's hope Cramer can. None of you turkeys hanging around here could possibly do it, that's for sure. If you can, get to work!!

      You're a pussy if you are selling the market short. What more do you want the Fed to do? Some you pussies want more bailouts. Others of you want to see cataclismic failure market wide? Which one of you can name one single stock that you are willing to pay more for today than a month ago? When is the market going to turn around? When you pussies get your heads screwed on straight and stop betting against the market. Until then, you will get what you deserve.

      Big Holes in the Hitwise Report on Yahoo/Google Demographics
      Well, you can say it's a crock, and it's methodology may well be a tad loose and too much of an cross tabulated aggregation, but it's conclusion affirms what you already know (or should know).

      Poor People Use Yahoo, Better Off Use Google
      Yahoo is known to skew heavier toward a female audience than Google. So that that extent, Yahoo is the new AOL. In fact, its content model is increasingly looking like AOL's. It's final - Yahoo is the new AOL.

      How a Free WSJ.com Can Beat Yahoo Finance
      Their practically giving it away now. I just subscribed to the print and the online combined for $99 - same price I've been paying for online alone every year since they started charging. One thing to watch out for though -- content inflation (can't think of a better word). You're going to see a lot of wire service stories puffing up the content both online and in print. It's already started, and it certainly cheapens the franchise. Why should I read day old AP stories in WSJ when I can read them anywhere? That's not why I read WSJ. I want original stories with bylines.
