MY GOD. I just watched "Mad Money" on CNBC, and I'm ready to run the marathon. What an incredible premise, incredible energy.
Wonder if any of the info is for real. Ah, who cares...I could watch that balding, coffee suckin, sweaty little homonculus scream and stomp all thru a trading day....GREAT TELEVISION.
out
I wish that while he's pacing around the room he would throw things when he gets so excited.
The problem with the program is that he is usually wrong.
I love that show. Who else makes Business news exciting and interesting?
He's a great showman, but also he knows his business. I take everything he says with a grain of salt and a lot of personal research, but he has been right way more often than wrong.
Booooya!
He's going to hurt himself if he doesn't start wearing a helmet....
Cramer is a no talent, loud mouth hack. And he looks like a recovering alcoholic.
Nope. His track record is pretty good, and he admits his mistakes unlike any of the other talking heads.
He often recommends something I wouldn't buy after doing a lot of research. I always do my own research, but he has given me some good clues along the way. Still, those things I wouldn't buy often are appreciating - just not in my portfolio.
You mean like the chair? Throws that almost every show.
I believe he is a Democrat as well.
'nuff said

The feverish showmanship makes him appear like a deranged car salesman.
My dad LOVES the show. He's retired, so investing is his hobby, and has the money to play with, but would never invest without doing his own research. He claims Kramer is right far more often than not.
Kudlow is better.
He is....But I've heard him criticize trhe party's "soak the rich" philosophy
The rates are low and the capital gain rate, so he’s kind of done everything he can do and it’s still not working.
Then you have this new resonant theme which is this outsourcing. You know frankly again, I’m a free trader and I like open borders and I think Bush has done a good job on this, but we’re not producing jobs.
In a way the Democrats have kind of set the debate. Even though we have really good GDP growth, even though we’ve got really good order growth, even though we’ve got a lot of stocks, at a 52-week high, it’s not enough and that seems to be working with the American people who seem very puzzled.
And Bush doesn’t seem to be able to tell a good story about why it hasn’t happened yet.
From the same interview. Boy, this guy is spot on...-sarc
And this matters why?
He makes no bones about anything except making money. Never gives a rats a$$ about politically correct stocks. Only cares about if it goes up or down.
He's a capitalist, even if he is confused about which party is best for him.
I need a shower after this......
So why did he support Kerry?
I think that what would happen is people would say well, Kerry is going to come in and with guns blazing against the pharmaceuticals, maybe rewrite some of the medicare bill which was basically written by the drug companies.
Maybe he will create some distance and raise capital gains so that you would want to sell stock now because the capital gains rate is going to go up.
If he is interested in making money why in the hell would he endorse Kerry's B.S. ?
He does not seem like a smart guy to me...
Or the "Juice Man" of stocks...
That is the way he is. Was the same on Kudlow and Cramer.
Kudlow bores me to death. In fact most business news bores me to tears (Except Louisa Bojesen on CNBC in the wee hours).
Cramer makes it interesting. I may tire of him someday, but its the freshest idea in business programming to come down the pike in 20 years.
Guys like him can make money in a fish market. If you require a particular party to be in office in order to make money, you have no business in the stock market.
We’re troubled by the fact that we think that our President has made a lot of countries and a lot of people hate us.
And you know, I go to Canada every year and I feel very strongly that for the first time in my life, that the Canadians aren’t welcoming me with open arms because of our President.
I feel the same way about Europe and it’s just something, it’s an intangible that makes a lot of people very uncomfortable. I don’t think I would want my kids to get in trouble overseas with this President because it just seems to be he’s turned off a lot of people. A lot of people really historically liked us.
GRAHAM: Yes.
CRAMER: It bugs the heck out of me.
GRAHAM: You’re not being welcomed by open arms up here because of anything you might have said on TV?
CRAMER: No, I’ve always felt very at home in Canada. I go up there for a vacation. I just actually just started planning my Toronto fall trip.
I just happen to like Canada very much, as does my family, but I just saw that the Canadians, when they came to the Iraq War, they weren’t with us and the Canadians are with us all the time because they’re our best friends and I think that we changed that and it just really does bug me.
CRAMER: "Everyone hates us...WAAAAA! It's all Bush's Fault"
Cramer has a low self-esteem based on his looks and "smarts". He figures if he yells a lot and sweats a lot people won't notice. He is a criminal hack in my opinion.
"In April, Forbes.com broke the news that Maier, 33, who used to be a trader at Cramer's hedge fund, had been feeding information to the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission about Cramer & Co.'s allocations of initial public offerings from Goldman Sachs (nyse: GS - news - people ). The SEC is conducting an investigation into the way investment banks apportioned IPO shares to clients during the height of the bull market."

The exchange used to be in 4 WTC and there was a very small smoking room that had to have the door shut. In August one year everyday it was about 100 in there. One gold trader (loser that day) Threw a chair right through the window on down to the WTC court yard. No fooling. All he said was "it's too hot, let's get some air in here. Then SMASH!
What are recovering alcoholics supposed to look like? There are plenty out there living normal, productive lives.
THAT is PRICELESS. Watching Cramer, brought back the memory of the sheer INVINCIBLE MANIA I used to feel before I left cocaine behind.....Thank God those days are behind me.
On the plus side though, I hear he moved the Bluth Company from a "Triple sell" to a "Don't Buy".
I noticed Kramer is doing his RADIO show again as well!
-He may have been filling in for Bob Brinker, but I'm pretty sure it was Kramer doing his own show. -I thought he quit it before the T.V. show, because he was unhappy with the production.
Salesman maybe, -as a kid he did bust his tail, learning the value of a dollar by selling Ice-Cream at Veterans Stadium. But, I would have to stop short of calling thr man a "know nothing." Cramer went to a little school you might have heard of, Harvard College, where he was President of the Harvard Crimson (he graduated magna cum laude).
He then worked as a Journalist for 4 years while earning a law degree from Harvard Law School. He then took a prestigious position at Goldman Sachs, -in private client services. (OPM Hedge Fund Manager) In 87 he started his own company, Cramer & Co. After a stellar 2000, Cramer's fund finished up the year +36%, compared to -11% for the S&P 500 and -6% for the Dow Industrials.
He went on to co-founded TheStreet.com Became the acting Markets Commentator Advisor to the CEO, Thomas Clarke, Jr. Hosted Kudlow & Cramer on CNBC Apparently he is doing his radio show again, -RealMoney Radio and still does his T.V. show "Mad Money" W/Cramer He's made 75M since his days of selling Hotdogs at Veterans Stadium.
Call him -anything- but a "know nothing salesman".
"sweaty little homonculus"
ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
