OK, for those giving Cramer the benefit of the doubt on Les Miserables Call on BSC, check out the above video from Don Harrold.
When Cramer makes a pick on Mad Money, theStreet.com enters it into their system here. It's some sort of performance tracker. Hit up BSC and you will see a bearish call on March 17th, a bullish call on March 6th, a bullish call on February 11th, and so on. What you don't see is anything on March 11th when we know he mentioned BSC on Mad Money.
But here's where it gets interesting. Don Harrold did a screen grab Sunday night (the 16th) and discovers that theStreet.com DID have BSC as a bullish call on Mad Money on March 11th. You can see it clearly if you pause the video 3:40 into it.
So as Don points out, that bullish BSC call sat there for 5 days.
Translation: TheStreet scrubbed the pick off the system and then Voldemort goes on Stop Trading and gets "cross-examined" by Erin, and says 95% drop later that it wasn't actually a stock pick. Pretty classy.
So of course it begs some questions. How exactly does theStreet determine when he has made a bullish call or not (pity the poor staffer who presumably has to watch Mad Money each night and make that call)? What exactly would cause theStreet to delete a stock opinion from the page 5 days later other than an implosion? What possible value does a study like this have if you can retroactively go back and scrub lousy picks? How many times has this happened before that we haven't noticed? Will Daily Options Report ever return to the standard options and French anchorwoman fare?
OK, the last one is next post, unless we find more videos of like Voldemort spitting on Keith Hernandez or something.
