Portraying Cramer as a clown, does a disservice to clowns everywhere. PT Barnum may be more suitable comparison.
Lol it's fun to diss talking heads, back in the ancient #daytraders mirc chatroom back in '99, guys would post "fade cramer" alerts.... but occasionally he does make valid points, and this one re VIX swell vs spike is particularly smart, imho Big picture, Cramer makes investing entertaining and relatable to the general public. He's not dry and stuffy like a banker or advisor. I wish more talking heads would focus on daytrading technicals like morning gappers, news plays etc during premkt
Thanks for posting that video. It was indeed worthwhile because it was based on the sharp analysis of Mark Sebastian, and not Cramer's brain. It gave me some food for further thought and analysis of my own. With Cramer and his incredibly annoying voice, he is a great example of how this bizarre species values entertainment above just about everything else. He makes something like 230 million a year, kind of like the professional athletes entertaining the crowds in the modern day Roman Colosseums. For the mob, anything to get their minds off their dull, boring frustrating lives. Meanwhile for us traders, life is anything but dull and boring, and many of us don't need entertainment so much!
