Making Mad Money with Jim Cramer
- Thread starter Cramerholic
- Start date
He was long tech in the 1990's..... not impressed since every Joe Blow in an office was doing the same thing. I am sure he is making way more money from his books and TV show.
But besides that, his show is just entertainment really or stock investing for those of the Suze Orman level of market sophistication. He has to come up with picks every single day as well as talk about 30 or so stocks in the lightening round off the top of his head. Would you trust a lawyer who hears 5 seconds of facts and shouts out a legal opinion?
For those newer to investing, it gets you excited about investing and doing more homework. For everyone else, it is just a man screaming and yelling and throwing chairs and saying BUY or SELL off the top of his head.

Strong arguement, and I have to agree. That his show made me want to learn how to come up with my own picks though, is a plus. For that, he should be commended, he has made it appealing and accessable to many who otherwise would not invest. I never follow anyone blindly, neither should anyone. I jave also thought about how he HAS to come up with new picks DAILY. My thinking is that is pretty tough. I do not think he comes up with everything off the top of his head though - he runs back to his laptop after/before/during each call inthe lightning round, probably getting the info from his staff.
Nah, you guys are just jealous of the guys success, hiding behind a holier than tho attitude. You are probably pissed about the existance of discount online brokerages too. Noone wants to hear about how the rich got rich. I am not going to make any money from microsoft, or cisco etc...
At least the guy takes a stand and says BUY or SELL. All the other guys on tv just dont want to be wrong so they straddle the fence with lame reporting.

and you sound like the typical booya skeedaddy idiot that calls in.
Must you resort to name-calling already? C'mon, I thought we could be friends!!
But, you would be incorrect there. I am not a 'booya skee-daddy idiot' that calls in. Have you read my prior post?
Have you read this quarters Equities Mag? You have a heavyweight like Bob Flaherty singing the guys praises. And who are you? You prob work at the local Citibank and help people fund thier ira's with the safest of the safe.

you stopped being someone we would take seriously when you posted this:" Nah, you guys are just jealous of the guys success, hiding behind a holier than tho attitude. You are probably pissed about the existance of discount online brokerages too. Noone wants to hear about how the rich got rich."
now we think you are probably just a yhoo board idiot who got lost and ended up here.
