thanks for sharing your insights.

After reading some of the comments from the haters I felt compelled to post.

1. Financial Entertainment is huge business, entertainment just like the NFL, NHL, NBA and MLB.

2. Clearly the haters of Cramer have not read his books, your comments prove that.

i.e. Cramer himself has stated that if you can pick a winner 60% of the time you can do well, which means that 40% of the time (at least) he is going to be wrong.

3. Keep in mind that his show is intended to Entertain and Educate you. If you are trading or investing solely based on Cramer’s recommendations, go buy an index fund because clearly you are in over your head.

If you had read any or all of his books you would know that first and foremost he preaches “homework” doing actual research on your own. He provides concepts and ideas and when he does get a pick wrong (and he does) he generally owns it and in some cases will do a post mortem on what went wrong. I have to wonder how many of the hater’s who has posted have ever invested any time in figuring out what went wrong with their pick? My guess is that they have spent more time posting a trash talking comment than figuring out why their pick sucked and lost them money.

Investing can make you money and because it has grown into a massive industry .there are dozens of 24/7 financial shows dishing out content. The reason why it has grown is because we the people, have been forced to manage or financial future because corporations lobbied so that they would no longer have to be responsible for worker pension funds. If you are placing your future in the hands of a talking head remember this: CAVEAT EMPTOR; buyer beware.

Now quit your crying and do some homework!

IMO, any success he had back in the late 90's with his hedge fund, had more to do with his chief trader Todd Harrison, who has more character and talent in his little finger, than this circus barker has in his entire body.
