I know I should just ignore him.
He makes me nuts
Just lies
bull on up days
bear on down days
loves gold at 1100
hates it on pullback
just a GD MF bold face liar.
Since he says everything about every market at some point he can away go back and say "i was right"
I would just love to punch the CS as hard as i can right in the face.

Dude just played soft dollar IPO whore stuff.

booyah to everything you just said sexy shania. Just one addition. short everything he recommends. you’ll make some gains that way. cramer is merely entertainment for dummies.
Yea he only had clients like steve balmer and eliot spitzer as a broker…im sure your client list is just as robust…love him or hate him he knows more about the market than you could dream of…he is a wall street insider…you can tell a client to buy american funds.

I tracked cramer's stuff for 2 years for the fun of it. It was terrible. You might BE Cramer with that comment
"Don't sell Bear Sterns they are liquid" Great call[/quote]
It's Stearns .... Retard
I can only watch him for a few minutes. He can stay on tv because he’s good at his job. His job isn’t to be a good stock picker. His job is to sell advertising revenue.
Isn't the name of his show "Mad Money"? The last time that I checked, "mad money" is the money that one has available to blow. This is money that can be used for the shoe of the month club or for individual stock picks. It's for money that one can afford to blow.I don’t despise him, but got no respect for him either. Check this out. Cramer at his best with Jon Stewart. Not!

Booyah SkeeDaddy!
Yeah, front running large orders. You are a meathead void of original thought.What was his annual return running a hedgie? 28…whats yours…
First, Cramer ran his fund from the early 1980's through the 1990's. Essentially, his time running money professionally overlapped exactly with the greatest bull market our country's stock market has ever seen. I believe the S&P 500 compounded at around 20% per year during his hedge fund days. So, it's not like he was making 20-something percent during a time when making money was difficult.
Second, if you read his autobiography, Confessions of a Street Addict, you'll learn that he made a lot of that money in some pretty interesting ways. Since he was a big player, he made tons with IPO share allotments that he was allowed to flip on the first day of trading, which amounted to free money with little risk. In his book he also talks about how he would get word of analyst upgrades and downgrades before the information was made public to everyone, because his firm was a big client of the investment banks who issued sell-side reports.
If you factor in the market averaging 15% and throw in the other ways in which Cramer was able to make money for his clients with very little effort or insight, you might understand a bit more why his picks on Mad Money have left much to be desired. If you want to learn about the market and be entertained, Cramer can have a lot to offer. For stock picks though, I would not suggest you tune in for that reason alone.

You want winners? You want me to put my Cramer Berkowitz hedge fund hat on and just discuss what my fund is buying today to try to make money tomorrow and the next day and the next? You want my top 10 stocks for who is going to make it in the New World? You know what? I am going to give them to you. Right here. Right now.OK. Here goes.

When you can charge 4 and 40 and not starve to death....ill concede im a methhead. In the meantime, make sure the tire pressure is full on your prius.Cramer touted Lenny Dykstra “as one of the brightest he has ever seen, a WIZ KID” !! Dkystra could barely form a sentence when he trying to explain a call option buy on the HBO piece a couple years ago. You could tell is was a sham, yet Cramer was paying Dykstra to put his “picks” on the The Street.com. Cramer is a fraud. Do not understand how stupid people are to listen to him.
im sure he would compare W-2s with all of you anyday…and at the end of the day isnt that what its all about…let me guess doug kass is an idiot too right?
I have no opinion on Kass, at least he finally came clean last week on CNBC and somewhat told the truth that he has been short the market since April (after cnbc assumed he was long the whole time). But dont know enough about him to say anything about his character. Cramer is a shady, does not mean he is broke, far far from it. I think whatever he makes legitimately from the tv show, he makes 100X that in side deals from stock pumps. For instance after T Boone Pickens came on to pump up his CLNE, which had run from 5 to 17, Pickens comes on TV for a 30 minute pump session with Jimbo..stock goes up $2.00 the next day, then amazingly that same day Pickens and his wife Madaline sell 3,000,000 shares at the high, then it drops in 9 points the next few months. Sure there was a "thank you" for Jimmy on that one.im sure he would compare W-2s with all of you anyday…and at the end of the day isnt that what its all about…let me guess doug kass is an idiot too right?
Fritz…i can agree with some of that but you assume everyone watches cnbc…the fact is guys like cramer, kass, cashin etc. get people excited about the market…AND OPENLY SAY CALL YOUR BROKER…call them pikers all you want but a guy like cramer who was a broker for gs is not an idiot. we would all kill to be brokers at gs.
