=============== Good big points/ big pictures, bigger fish. Since at leat one TOP hedge fund manager, Michael Masters/Schwager-source; admitted to listening to him ,probably more hedge funds than that do listen . Even though it looks Jim's MSFT &tek sector bullishness maybe right finally; more so that that, do your own research , like Cramer says. Cramer does have guts enough to issue sell & short calls and ; for the most part communicate in an understandable way, unlike many on the street. And while some dont like his theatrics or SELL,SELL,SELL button; his comments on arrogance being a sin, & helpful comments on Investors Business Daily are excellant.
Cramer on the cover of Businessweek? If this isn't a sign that the Markets are toast, I don't know what is...
It's entertaining, but I can't see it becoming a long term success (being on for the next 3-5 years?). At some point, they'll start tinkering with the format. They'll lose the sound effects or the chair throwing antics. The initial excitment will wear off. Viewers won't get the performance they want.....and it'll slowly shrink.....
Cramer is a better TV personality than he was a hedge fund manager and he probably actually is more important to the market now on his show than he ever was at his hedge fund. This is a case of a guy craving fame over fortune, although the salary from CNBC probably isn't too bad its not hedge fund comp.
Anybody is watching his Year in review? I usually don't watch him, but this is hillarious, and he was right on GOOG.....
