Quote from Banff01:
You can't have a show about shorting stocks. You'd have tons of law suits right there. Rememeber, when the stock price goes up the analysts were right. When the stock price goes down it was the market's fault, bad economy or manipulation. Also, advertising is the main source of income for TV stations. I am not sure that companies would advertise on a TV station that just made a shorting recommendation on their stock.

Quote from patchie:
Cramer has a contract with CNBC that restricts him from shorting stocks. This clause has hindered his abilities to make money like some of his predatory associates and it pisses him off. In a market like this Cramer is finding out that it is difficult to be a long investor and survive. That is why he is outing the tricks-of-the-trade. If Cramer was able to short you would not be hearing from him on this subject at all.
