Jim Cramer on GOOG/YouTube
Regular readers of this blog know that I first got hip to blogging by watching Jim Cramer spit out 20 posts a day from his trading desk back when I was an investor in and Chairman of TheStreet.com. I love Jim's ability to say whatever he thinks and I try to do that on this blog.
So I had to smile when I saw Jim's take on GOOG/YouTube:
So, I get this great call on my radio show about whether I'm concerned
that Google (GOOG) might pay $1.5 billion for YouTube. You bet I'm
concerned.
I am concerned that someone else will come in and pay $2 billion. In
fact, I would like Google to pay $2 billion preemptively. I'd even be
willing to see the company pay $3 billion!
Say what you will about Jim, he calls them as he sees them!
I did have my say about him on my bog as shmuck of the day - not because of google but because of his GM shennaningans - classic hoof in mouth disease

Bidding war, baby! Can't wait to see TV networks sell the shirts off their backs just to buy YouTube!

Sounds like the Boo Ya is launching a "premptive aversion" to another Murdoch, Greenspan, Intermix debacle. Good for him. Good for the markets.
