I agree. I think Jim can turn his show around if he wants to be an advocate for the individual investors who work hard for their money, and deserves all the looking out for. He can't play both sides of the fence, but he can give a fair shake to Ceo's who aren't just in it for themselves. $500k for comp + salary is an extreme amount of money, and if a company is executing, keeping the company profitable, and enhancing shareholder value over the long term without all the borrowing and diluting, trying to do all the right things, deserve a place on his show.
How could Cramer state he believed Bear Stearns were a bunch of honest guys?........this in itself is a lie, and would illustrate he is gullible, and we know he's not. GS, Lehman, JP Morgan, Citi, the lot of them are crooks............One was or is less greedier than the other, unless Cramer views them this way?.............who on Wall Street are honest guys?. Degrasso, who headed the Nyse was just as greedy and felt deserving of a $140m or so severance pkg sure wasn't, and he often vowed to keep trading honest, and his goal was to retain the Integrity of the exchange........it never happened, and he thought he should be rewarded big time even at departure.
Anyone hauling in a million + in a year off the backs of investors, needs to be given a hard look. Fuld was hauling in $50 million a year, GS Ceo this last year hauled in $70m............it comes by way of stock options.
Gates this year at $370m. What has this guy done this year to make him believe this is money he deserves he has coming to him from shareholders?........He gets a million in salary from MSFT, just this should come under scrutiny. I question if he is deserving of this, MSFT hasn't increased shareholder value in over 5 years..........in fact lost investors capital. What he really deserves is to be taken out in the proverbial courtyard. If he would have sold Msft and someone or some company was willing to buy it and he made billions due to them willing to pay it, this would be a different story, shareholders would have profitted to, but then we would need to look at where that money may be coming from or had come from............and if would make sense to sell?. He decided to linger on like a parasite and take it all. Msft is an old story. He monopolized long enough. Better things are out there, and better things will come in the future, and it won't be Msft. The only reason he wanted Yahoo was for the advertising bucks. I'm glad it didn't pan out. He would use it all and Msft to just get a bigger piece of the market, and no doubt more comp.
