cramer tells people (over and over) not to daytrade his picks, and not to buy them on the ah's pump
he also distinguishes between so called "mad money" picks, and core portfolio holdings (GOOG, BA, UNH, etc.)
all the cramerhaters are just people who can't stand to see somebody (besides them) being given the attention that cramer gets.
cramer is entertainment first and foremost and he's the first i am aware of to make stocks fun for the masses
the guy is no idiot. he graduated with honors, got a law degree and was a very successful hedge fund operator
the histrionics are schtick guys.
