Blodget vs. Blodget

By Paul Kedrosky · Tuesday, January 30, 2007 ·
Quote of the day on unindicted equity analyst Henry Blodget's book- and self-promoting nattering about Jim "Mad Money" Cramer's stock-picking goes to Dealbook:
The excoriation by the former Merrill Lynch research analyst, who was sued by regulators and private investors for hyping research to bolster the fortunes of the firm’s banking clients, and ultimately barred from the securities industry, is not without some irony.
[obDisclosure] I write weekly for the Cramer-founded TheStreet, and I appear regularly on CNBC, where Mad Money appears. Cramer has never offered to fly me on his private plane to speak to execs in Japan though.]
