I'll never have any idea how Cramer is at picking stocks because I can't watch the man for more than about 30 seconds. When he started his shtick on Squawk Box yrs ago he was mildly entertaining, then he became famous for being "outrageous" and "irreverent" and now that's all he ever does. He's like the child who finds he can get attention the louder and more annoying he is, so that's who he becomes. Cramer never tunes it down, he's always playing his manic character and he's now become the single most irritating person on tv. He makes Terry Bradshaw look quiet and introspective. H
"Watch TV and Get Rich?" What he means is, start a hedge fund. Hire good traders like his wife and Toddo. Get scared at every market bottom, and euphoric at every market top. Let his wife save his fund. Be a little outrageous so you can get on TV and feed rumors to Faber and Maria. Pump, dump and use "the call" from your broker buds to get order flow info. Get rich. Then realize the easy money game is over, so start a stock tout show with sound effects. After a while, achieve results that are worse than the S&P500. And get richer. jmho booyuh
+6.94 ytd as of yesterday. s&p + 12.50. so with all of his ability to pump his stocks on cnbc he still underperformed big time.
Better yet, lie about talking to companies, spread rumors to the press, and then manipulate the futures: http://publish.vx.roo.com/thestreet...IN&bst=FF&biec=false&format=flash&bitrate=300
Hey--Say all you want about my good pal "Jimmy"--that's right he let's me call him that when the "guys" aren't around. I used to really tank on Him, but that was before he volunteered to speak at my nephew's graduation from KinderCare. That's all it took boys for me to realize what a true human being he is! And to top it off he got a standing ovation from all the kids at the conclusion of his 2 hour speech! GO JIMMY!!!!! I LOVE MR. CRAMER!!!!!!!
