Business Network Pulls Commentator

Financial network CNBC temporarily yanked a guest analyst from the network Wednesday after ethics questions arose about whether he was commenting on a stock and attempting to trade it at the same time.

Wall Street money manager James Cramer, who also frequently appears in print and on the Internet, was removed from CNBC as the network investigates comments he made about the stock of Internet company WavePhore Inc. He denied any wrongdoing.

Cramer is expected to return to his unpaid position, although no timetable has been set.
