Cramer hasn't proven any ability to beat the market in his time at CNBC. He's not one to listen to for advice. That said, nor is Cathie Wood. Many of her purchases could be best described as FOMO. Congrats on her big bet on Tesla. Many retail traders made the same bet. There's endless amounts of one trick ponies making a living off their one trick in life and so far she hasn't proven to be any different from them.
Of course, who doesn't know that. Sleep eyed Jim couldn't cut any longer as a Hedgie himself, so he became an entertainer. Nothing more.
"Pot to kettle"....
I had CNBC on in the background yesterday when he was going off on her.
I thought hmmmm.
I couldn't tell you what I had for dinner last Sunday, but I have a fly-trap memory for stocks.
I can tell you my exact entry price of a stock I bought 20 years ago, and the number of shares.
Anyway, about a year and a half ago (not that long really for someone who recommends maintaining a long term investing horizon) he did a piece he called "The Magnificent 7", 7 stocks to buy on any weakness.
They were (and I kid you not):
SQ
ROKU
NFLX
PTON
PYPL
SHOP
ZM
EDIT: But to his credit, they did all go up nicely from there.

"Now, nothing lasts forever, including the love affair with the magnificent seven. Remember, though, earnings themselves are an abstraction for a thesis stock and disappointments are just more reasons for buying."

Cramer's critique of Wood is accurate. She has no in depth analysis of these companies beyond just pure growth. I owned a lot of the stocks in ARKK seperately even before the pandemic like Roku, Moderna, Cloudflare, Shopify, etc., but I exited them when the story was over. In the end she owns story stocks so in a way similar to any historical bubble, however they are trades not investments.
I remember on PBS there was a documentary about the rise and fall of the Tech Bubble & they interviewed Cramer and he specifically talked about the rise & collapse of ioMega which Cramer said was a phenomenon of growth but that it was just a trade because storage tech is always fleeting.
Cramer is excellent at observing short term trends in markets. That makes sense given his background as a hedge fund manager. He uses the S&P oscillator to determine oversold/overbought sentiment to trade.
Sometimes he is good at long term trends as well. I remember in 2012 he talked about how millennials shop is radically different than their parents and that explains what consumer products do well. That was very accurate. Things like they don't to talk on the phone just texts or twitter; delivery over actually going to the restaurants; streaming over going to the cinema; experiences over buying goods; renting over ownership hence rise in Air BnB, Uber, Rent The Runway, Dollar shave club.

A lot people think Cathie Wood is smart. Bill Ackman is smart. Billy Hwang is smart. Are they any smarter than average ET members here?
Buwahaha!
I remember Niederhoffer poking fun at both iOmega & Motley fool with the newsletters he'd get:
