  4. You'd be surprised. Go here. Read "Jim Cramer is a Compllicated Man". You 'd also be well - advised to read the Steinhardt stuff.

    Cramer does some research and you might be able to get some good ideas from some of his informatoin.

    I never have. I watched him when he first started appearing on CNBC just before the dot com bubble, his street.com, etc. Shortly thereafter, the Street.com Internet Index, the DOT, was born, which was a complet debacle in the years that followed.

    I always kind of found him annoying. Totally not my style, but I know a lot of people follow his suggestions.

    I guess, if you really want to know what I "think about Jim Cramer", I would say he's like the Ronald Reagan of the stock market. He's a puppet that's pulled by the strings, but every once in a while (i.e. rarely), he's capable of doing something significant.

  6. He gets what for his work at CNBC and TSCM and his book deals? Something like $1m a year before taxes I'd guess. That poor SOB gets up at 4:30 am every morning to drive to the office and studio.

    Is that good enough when you're worth $50+ million? I don't think so.

    He's a fool to not have retired a long time ago and simply run his own money. I'd just hang out with the family, golf, hang out by the pool, make a couple trades a week and just enjoy life. Less stress, longer life expectancy, a happier life.
