Jim Cramer, the outspoken stock analyst, has long held down two jobs: one as a columnist for financial-news website TheStreet.com that he founded, and another as a colorful commentator for CNBC. Soon, he will only have one employer.
CNBC, in a rare bit of publicity for the business dealings it has with its correspondents, said it would expand its relationship with Cramer in a new deal that will have him continuing his on-air presence for the NBCUniversal-backed cable-news outlet as well as create subscription products for CNBC die-hards. Cramer will launch CNBC Investor Club, which will give subscribers what is billed as “behind the scenes access” to Cramer and his knowledge of investing and portfolio management. The new pact will reunite Cramer with Margaret de Luna, a former president and chief operating officer of TheStreet, who was recently appointed general manager and senior vice president of CNBC’s direct to consumer operations.
