TheStreet.com's having trouble negotiating with Jim Cramer?
Jim Cramer, the Wall Street blowhard, is having trouble coming to terms on a contract with TheStreet.com, the financial site he cofounded. The last one expired at the end of 2007. For now, Cramer has signed his second two-month extension in a row. After April 15, it's up again. If Cramer's outburst during the last market meltdown is any indication, I'm sure talks are proceeding calmly and reasonably.
As Silicon Alley Insider points out, both parties have much to lose. Cramer still owns 14 percent of the company, a stake worth around $42 million. CNBC, where Cramer yells a lot on air, has less of a Web audience than TheStreet.com. And try this pop quiz: Name someone who writes for TheStreet.com besides Cramer.
