Jim Cramer takes jab at FBN…
Well it was bound to happen eventually, I’m just surprised it happened the first day. Jim Cramer debated over watching FBN and getting a root canal and he says he opted for the root canal. Ian Schwartz has the video…

“Fox…Fox…I meant to say Fox!”
LOL thanks for sharing that Spud. If Fox Biz can go out “peacock hunting” and send someone specifically to Englewood Cliffs, I don’t see any harm in CNBC having a bit of fun on what is typically a light and funny segment. (oh and Erin’s laugh was really cute!)

Root canal work usually requires being anesthesized to get the job done. Jim Cramer did the right thing - he needed to be numb. That rhymes with DUMB, does’t it?

Cramer was being Cramer, and he was actually being pretty funny. I don’t think there was anything even remotely “bad” about his comments. And he actually had a root canal, he wasn’t just going for the joke first.

I never said it was bad. But it was the first on air jab by someone at CNBC.

The root canal was something he needed to correct a problem.
Fox Business Network could be the end of Cramer’s career.
I can see why he would not want to watch it.

Well they won’t be laughing when they get that note that says CNBC has been cancelled due to nobody watching it.
Their rating are abysmal now, can’t imagine how low they’ll be when FBN is in full swing

You are right Spud. I should have said “I think Cramer’s comments are harmless.” Not so much a jab as a playful shove.

Jim Cramer is a nut!

Cramer will be working for FBN second after his contract ends at mess-NBC.

I manage my own 401K and I beat Jim Cramer’s performance every single year. You could throw darts at the stock page of the newspaper, use those stocks the darts hit, and have a better than 50% chance of beating Cramer’s returns. His performance sucks but he entertains you as you loose money.
