4. Is he making any predictions on stocks to sell?
I might want to buy something.

5. He's unwatchable - but he's right about those salaries, and the double standard.

17. I hate the moron but the more people who state the glaring double
standard the better.

7. I was just about to write an OP about how loud and obnoxious he is
WTF? How can anyone watch that crap? Is he on crack or speed or something?

8. Another world-class Assclown late to the Wall Street Pity Party
No problem, until it all blew up in your face, eh Jim?

No problem, until it started to affect people like you, huh?

No problem, until it was brokers and analysts getting the axe instead of machinists and assemblers, right?

No problem, until everyone and their unborn grandchildren knew damn good and well that It.Didn't.Work.Anymore.

Putz.

10. I have to wonder what he's getting on the side.
Every other pundit who went this batshit crazy about something, was getting a little on the side. Or maybe, like Limbaugh, it's part of the job?

9. Jim Cramer is not evil, like Bush or Cheney, but he is accidentally one of the most
dangerous people in the universe. He has consistently given uninformed investors the most dangerous, the most ignorant, the worst and most statistically inept and WRONG advice ever.

As smart as he thinks he is, as cocky as he behaves, he didn't see this obvious catastrophe coming. He continued to recommend the dumbest stocks in the world--paper, cellular phone, stupid shit beyond belief--and now he's acting outraged and upset.

Steer clear of this psycho the way you avoid your third cousin who is a five year crack addict.

The guy is a disgrace to serious investors, money managers and investment advisers everywhere.

Check out Bloomberg radio on XM of SIRIUS or on the web, or Bloomberg TV if you get that! It is five million times better than CNBC.

12. More the reason why it's suspicious.
He's getting something on the side, surely?

15. I don't know, but frankly I would not be surprised.
Edited on Mon Dec-22-08 05:24 PM by Mike 03
He has been informally, rather casually, accused of that very thing.

I believe it is very possible, but pending a more authoritative accusation, I would be nervous about asserting it as fact.

But I appreciate your post.

11. I think Jim Cramer should be straightjacketed by the SEC. Check out his portfolio over the past six
years. He has lost every year, if you adjust for the amount of "new" funds he injects into his own balance sheet.

He's TERRIBLE. I wouldn't hire him to manage my niece's little bundle of money.
