In the past week, 3-year CD rates had gained by one basis point but posted a drop of the same magnitude for this week.

TheStreet: Under the scanner<\/b><\/p>\n
However, in the past few months, not is going well for TST itself. Co-founded by Jim Cramer, a high-profile financial content presenter on Television, TST other owners are asking for a change in TheStreet\u2019s current strategy.<\/p>\n
The call for change is led by SpearPoint co-founder, Bienvenu and Perkin, who jointly hold 2% of common stock in TheStreet. Their recent appeal to the Board of Directors, via a public mail appears to have the support of other shareholders. SpearPoint Buyout Group is part of technology entrepreneurial activities in New Orleans and keen on seeing a turnaround in TheStreet offer its shareholders more.<\/p>\n
SpearPoint comment that despite strong fundamentals that TheStreet possess, the \u2018preferred stock\u2019 that another investor Technology Crossover Ventures (TCV) holds is the stumbling block to attracting quality investors.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe company\u2019s capital structure creates an overhang that makes it difficult for the company to execute,\u201d comments Perkin from SpearPoint.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
