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.
Were 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 arent welcoming me with open arms because of our President.
I feel the same way about Europe and its just something, its an intangible that makes a lot of people very uncomfortable. I dont think I would want my kids to get in trouble overseas with this President because it just seems to be hes 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: Youre not being welcomed by open arms up here because of anything you might have said on TV?
CRAMER: No, Ive 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 werent with us and the Canadians are with us all the time because theyre 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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
