Jim Cramer gets Pounded by John Stewart on the Daily Show

[afx114]

Good point arraya. These anchors are all answering to a higher power. Another interesting twist to this plot is the fact that the NBC overlords instructed Olbermann and Maddow not to mention the Cramer skewer the following day, and they didn’t. On NBC/MSNBC, it was as if the interview hadn’t even happened. These hosts are the leftiest of the left, and they couldn’t even stand up to their corporate bosses on this issue. And you wonder why we turn to ‘Comedy Central’ for news — even Olbermann doesn’t have the balls.

Dave: Ah, yes, but then what do you say about someone like Frank Quattrone (CSFB’s Tech Group)?

Being a “Friend Of Frank” in the dot.com runup certainly had it’s advantages, didn’t it?

Afx: Hopefully, Olbermann’s bonus isn’t tied to GE’s stock price.

However, I suspect what you are discussing is the fact that much ‘inside’ information is actually bogus. Which may be true, but I wouldn’t exactly consider it ‘inside’ then.[/quote]

Inside information is one of the only advantages in the financial markets. But like kewp said, it has to to be legit, and that is a rare thing.

There are a handful of other possible advantages: special relationships that can lower transaction costs, or a monopoly like some market-makers or NYSE specialists have. And none of these are available to anyone but the big-boys.
