Blodget Rips Jim Cramer In Slate Article

Quote from stock777:

The Cramer presentation is vulgar.

The sound effects are vulgar.

The mugging for the camera is vulgar.

The hype is vulgar.

Other than that , not bad.

I used to defend the boob, but like all wise market players, my opinion is flexible.

We are really talking about The Decline of Western Civilization.
The transformation in one generation is shocking.

The items below would have been impossible in the 70s...
When common sense and decency were still valued as positive character traits:

(1) UFO and Conspiracy talk shows that debase science and history...
And coolly LIE to millions of moronic listeners...
And routinely slander public figures.

(2) A sleazeball like Cramer selling his soul to the Devil...
Peddling naked greed under the bizarrest of slogans... "Watch TV and Get Rich".

(3) Porn, generally of the sort that ** horribly debases women **, dominates the Web.

Islamo-Facists see this pathetic, confused culture...
And understand that it CANNOT prevail over faith-based God-centered cultures.

ET very much mirrors the worst elements of our declining culture...
Because there is no attempt made to create a civilized, professional tone.
It's a form of the Cramer Philosophy. Only money and traffic matter.

The West is on a looooong slippery slope...
And the decline has just begun.

I totally agree with everything that you say, but I must add that civilized decline faces the Orient as well as the Occident. On January 15 in the NYT, there was an article on a complete ban of motorcycles in a large town in SE China. Criminal gangs were running rampant. To rob a woman of a purse, there was one incidence of cyclist and his rider driving by and chopping off a good part of a woman's arm in order to snatch her purse. And of course to what degree involuntary organ harvesting is going on is a matter for speculation, because no one is putting a public light on it. And the pornographic fantasies that are primarily contained on the internet here in the West, are routine matters of commerce and can be found on the street in much of southeast Asia.

Blodget ....the former Merrill Lynch research analyst, who was sued by regulators and private investors for hyping research to bolster the fortunes of the firm’s banking clients, and ultimately barred from the securities industry...

Wow...He really did that? That's pretty low.
I would be ashamed to even quote someone like that...:)

Good post. I totally agree.

To be liberal socially does not mean one can not realize the inherent danger that instant gratification and gratuitous sex and substance abuse pose to the very structure of society.

We are being ripped apart at the seam in the U.S. by a 'every man for himself' and 'make your fortune any way and as quickly as you can' attitude.

I wish we realized that we need stronger mechanisms of self regulation to preserve our strength and integrity.

Children today are being raised on MTV, ESPN and American Idol. Cramer's Mad Money is no better. Politicians are even worse whores, selling us out while they jaw bone 'family values' and other rhetorical blather.

Do we want children to aspire to careers in math, science, engineering, or to cling to the hopes of being 'discovered' as the next Snoop Dog or Michael Jordan?

Our values create our future. I am scared of our future.
 
Quote from jimmygold:

. . .what if some of that dumb money you are licking your chomps over happens to be your mother or father. Or maybe your girlfriend, wife or sister. Or best friend ??

Yeah makes you think a little differently, right ??

So before you put your foot in your mouth and say such senseless garbage think about what you are actually saying.

To Gleefully profit of others misfortune and encourage others here on ET to do the same will get you a one way ticket to Hades !! :p

Dumbarse :D

I might be slightly guilty of hyperbole and sarcasm, but not by much.

We punish the middle for not being the top. It's an operating principle more credible and acceptable today in business, politics, and culture than every before. You may not like it, and I may not like it, but it's reality. Sheep will get sheared, so get over it.

The real mutton slaughter is down the line some years -- about the time our retirement and entitlements problem reach their critical (and unsolvable) point. Then, you will see privitization of social security and other schemes born of fear on the one hand and moonbeam peddlers on the other.

How about some of the private equity deals being done today? How do you imagine those huge investments will be cashed out in the end? Through IPOs with gargantuan floats, that's how. Who will be the float subscribers? Herds of sheeple fearful for their retirement, or just plain fearful or giddy, believing the Pied Pipers of stock land.

It'll take some years, but be patient.
 
I am not an american, but it blows me the way you guys are so hard on yourselves, you have far and away the best constitution in the world if not the best ever written, how the hell do you think the USA got so goddamn rich?

If the USA goes done the toilet the rest of us are toast.

By the way Blodget was banned for a reason, the guys a liar! he still has plenty of cash and now he wants respect too. Dont give it to him!

I agree great bounties are reaped here (USA), and are to be reaped. I'm only reporting a rule meaningful to me about how that's done (one way it's done, to be exact).

You don't hate us? The newspapers (our newspapers) say everybody hates us. Tell you what, we'll trade you 100 reporters for whatever you've got you hate. Couldn't be worse.

I'm gettin' a bumper sticker, "20mm illegal aliens can't be all wrong." Is it 20, or are we at 40 yet?
 
A week so after I posted the message below, I noticed Cramer ads on CNBC in which he ranted, "'Buy low, sell high' is a myth. Buy high, sell higher."

Give him credit for exquisite timing. On that score, I'd say he's way better than Leonard the Monkey.

Quote from Chood:

I'm not laughing at or about Cramer. I appreciate the fella and I'd flat out love him if he would do for the DOW what, say, Howard Stern did for Sirius -- create mucho sheep meat. Call me a dreamer, but Cramer's a spieler with it in him.

A herd of moonbeam/pixy-dust buyers in Cramer-touted stocks would be a feast. Anybody that can fatten the food chain below my station on it -- i.e., for feasting on by those higher up -- is to be supported.
