Does Cramer sleep well at night?

Quote from earlybirdstango:

im ambivalent about Cramer. I have never bought any of his picks but i do enjoy watching his show. His radio show is much more informative.

One question I ask myslf is, if people arent listening to him, who are they GOING to listen to and trust? The Google ads on random webpages? Message Boards? Tipsters? Their salesman broker?

The guy isnt exactly a failure in the business, he knows what he is doing. And if you trust him, there really isn't anyone better that the average joe has access to.

judging buy cramers record since he started his aa portfolio in 2002 you would have been better off putting your money in bonds or bank cd than listening to his advice. are you sure there isnt anyone better than him out there?

compare this to cramers performance: Sharkfolio +32.26% ytd
 
the guy doesnt deal in bonds.

What is the return compare to the SnP? That is a more relevent question.




Imagine a world....

"BOOOOYAH!!!! Today I want you in GM 7.25% senior notes!!!"

you figure it out. in 2002 when cramer started his portfolio the spy had a low of 80. it is now 125 plus there was about 1.5% a year in dividends.
cramers total return including dividends for the 4.5 years is about 15%. he is lagging the s&p bigtime.

I'd like to break the necks of the scum that produces his show.

They are even more loathsome than Cramer.

You think HE thinks up all that idoicy on his own?
