CNBC and Jim Cramer

I'll never understand anyone watching Cramer. I don't even think he's entertaining.

I began trading in September of 1999 and have considered CNBC a part of my trading career. I have had CNBC playing in the background every market day from 8AM till 4PM since my very first trade.
After Mark Haines unfortunate death, CNBC decided to shake things up a bit and place Jim Cramer into the 9AM slot.

He was and still is known to be a market manipulator by many insiders and for some reason decided to tell the world through an in-house video he made several years ago. http://www.wimp.com/manipulatingmarket/
(better watch it fast since it is usually taken offline very quickly once discovered to have resurfaced).

I have gotten in the habit of turning CNBC off at 8:50AM and tend to resume watching around 10AM when Cramer is gone. I will turn to anything including cartoons to avoid hearing this idiot speak.

Are there other out there that turn the channel? Why is CNBC punishing its long time watchers? Does he really get good rating? If so, my view of the investor/trading community has moved yet another notch lower from already depressed levels.

Well, that is my rant for the day.

I switch to Bloomberg at 9 est and then at 11 watch link tv, then back to bloomberg at 12 and then andrea mitchell on msnbc at 1 and back to bloomberg at 2 and judge napalitano on fox at 8 then jon stewert and colbert at 11 and back to cnbc at 6 am

otherwise, just sports, history and science

sometimes cnbw but I can only take so much of English accents
 
otherwise, if you miss having a wife who can't understand why you have all this money in a retirement account when she needs things now, msnbc is wonderful. They have a whole lineup of left wing Rush Limbaugh wannabees. Other than Napalitano and Stossel, I just can't take Fox, they haven't had an original idea since they first jerked their knee off, and every opposing idea just makes their knee jerk even more.
 
Man, it's like they slipped a truth drug into him before covertly videotaping him!
"who cares, fundamentals don't matter"
"how easy it is too push the futures market one way",
"just like Fannie mae lies", "they lie", etc.

I wish he'd talk like that, the way he really talks at home, or with his buddies, on the show in the morning.

When the news first broke out about Corzine, the first morning Cramer tried to stand up for him.."well, he was a mentor to me". Melissa Lee and that tall guy next to him were just disgusted.

I remember when he first came on the morning show a few months ago. Melissa Lee looked real pissed having him join her "team" for the first week, and was hostile , snapped at him occasionally, and downright tried to avoid talking to him as if he existed! I bet her family or herself lost money following his calls maybe before she even joined the show!

if you lost money listening to him, you probably didn't deserve it in the first place

it's not that 90% lose, it's just that 90% are gullible
 
Cramer is an idiot I can't stand him. The only reason I ever watch CNBC is because of Rick Santelli. He's the only one who is actually a realist. Liesman and cramer should go jump off the roof.

Great link, great thread. Thanks for posting. Every one should watch that. How did you find it?

"I wouldn't say that on TV"
"It's illegal, but the SEC doesn't understand it anyways"

:D I wonder what some of the pipsqueak (no pun) MM's think......................
