Terrestrial radio's biggest problem is retaining advertising revenues
as
more ad dollars are siphoned by the internet. In 2007 total ad dollars
for
radio fell to where they were in 2003. That point to an industry going
backwards, not forward, Cramer said.
The average market cap of terrestrial radio companies has declined by a
staggering 80% over the last five years. But the bottom isn't even in
yet,
as far as Cramer can tell
Either way, the bottom line remains the same. Cramer expects the
terrestrial
radio companies to go down harder than almost anything else and he
would
not
own any of them under any condition right now.


Of course, Cramer is barely right half the time. His advice is more
entertaining screaming and diatribe than useful.


Once again - Eduardo, you're an expert on everything. Amazing!


There are plenty of sites that track Cramer's "advice" to show that it is
mediocre at best.
