    Google and Cramer.

    what percentage would you say Cramer is actually correct in the movement of a stock? 20-25% correct? It seems like during the "lighting round" he's just making a spur of the moment guess. i do love the commercial on CNBC where you see him screaming and throwing a damn office chair...
