  • My TheStreet stock is down 75% the past year and this stiff is getting a 61% raise. Can you imagine how much Jim Cramer is getting if they won't announce it.

  • My stock is down another 11% today, job well done Mr. Morrow. At $2.11 a share from my original $11 50, I'll give you my shares if you quit.
