Cramer..Cramerica…CramerVision?

Cramer is a tough guy to bet against. So, he’s back for an encore on Wallstrip .

For better or worse Cramer saved CNBC. For better, we get the chance to see new talent launched through shows like Fast Money. For worse, we still have FUSAK for most of the day (Financial MUSAK 1st definition )

Cramer is the godfather of blogging.

Today, the nerds are aglow with their TWITter accounts (sorry Andy – although you had one way before the nerds recently caught on), writing about where they stuff their faces, while Cramer was onto this in 1997 exploring with trying to make you (and him) money.

I am LONG the old Cramer, and can’t be long TV Cramer. It’s not for me.

BUT, the microchunked Cramer on TheStreet TV is a step back in the right direction. TheStreet.com had a market cap below $30 million after the bubble in 2001 and now has climbed back above $330 million today. Here is the 5-year chart and the amazing climb from penny stock status .

In the end, financial blogging is forever relevant (archivable, searchable) and TheStreet.com is here to stay and as relevant as ever. Financial TV, while profitable for CNBC is mostly noise.

Brian takes a look at the technicals on the stock today.

One thing for sure…TheStreet.com is an amazing comeback.

PS – Here is Cramer’s Wallstrip job interview as well;

    Twitter is totally nerdy. I tried it and the only thing I find it useful for is updating its widget that sits on the left column of my blog. Great for quick thoughts not worthy of a full brilliant post of mine.

    The rest of it, keeping tabs of dorks doing dorky things, is utterly pointless and very bubblish.

    AXR is getting asshatted today in the midst of a market melt-up short covering rally.

    Howard, what ever happened to your forthcoming critique of Cereality ?
