Jim Cramer

Frequent bad faith episodes - AVOID THIS MAN

Sometimes he just plain decides to jump in a crowded swimming pool and take a dump. "You can't prove it!" Well, the brown billowing out of his trunks is enough for me. But seriously, he just has to throw in some deliberate bad faith wrong-way trades - and with cheap stocks at that. MHR and THC come to mind. He tells you they're going to double to get your greed flowing and cloud your judgement. Watch out when he does that.

He needs to get into a line of business where he relates to people on a good faith basis. Putting out a poison into the world like he now does - that has to stop.

Especially avoid any of his pay services. Really, give a man money for malice, it's a very low road he travels.

Great entertainer :D

Jim cramer is a great entertainer. He is a very knowledgeable man don't get me wrong but i like to think of him as a entertainer. For people new to the stock market , He is a great person to watch , since you will pick up think , might learn a thing or two ,his books are also pretty good but he is meant for home based investors who can put money into his several picks and hold a diversify portfolio for a looong period of time.

for traders , just watch him as a comedian and have a good time

Jim Cramer

I would describe Jim as a puppet. He is controlled by whoever pays the bills. I use to look up to him but I had to think to myself one day if this guy knew as much as he claim to why isn't he a billionaire or close to being one? Simply one answer any jackass can read off a screen with enthusiasm.

Bear sterns...NUFF said

This guy is a joke, he should be given a show along with dora the explorer. He runs around his stage wacking things and expects people to listen to him for financial advice. His track record speaks for himself. He knows nothing about technical analysis, there are just so many others people that are better investors than him out there.

Worst man on Wall Street

His track record speaks for itself. This man is the clown of Wall Street. Complete with sound effects and screaming on air, and throwing temper tantrums on TV and on Twitter.

Following his stock advice would be like asking Bernie Madoff for tips on how to be successful in life.

pros and cons

pros; energy, enthusiasm, knowledge, wit, creativity, tireless worker - lives the market

cons; trustworthiness, hedges by trying to sneak in little comments that you have to be looking for to catch.

I find it annoying that people call in and thank him for all he does; like he's doing it out the the goodness of his heart. more annoying is that he'll never take the time to stop and lay the reality out for people...

Probably the most inconsistent stock picker of all time

He might be one of the worst stock pickers I am aware of. People must understand one thing. This guy is just for entertainment. He is a clown on TV to amuse and entertain. He admits it at the beginning of every show. Let me point out some of his worst calls.

Right before Bear Sterns collapsed, a caller asked whether he should sell his holdings and this is what Cramer had to say. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUkbdjetlY8

This is a video of what Jim Cramer said about Lenny Dykstra. Remember that Jim Cramer said that he thought Lenny was one of the greats in the business. LMFAO and then a couple months later Lenny loses all his money and files for bankruptcy. 2 for 2 there JIMBO! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lo77x4VeoQE

If you need to see a clip that completely summarizes Jim Cramer then no1 did it better than Jon Stewart and his professional team in which they absolutely teared him apart. I won't need to say more after this one. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/03/10/jon-stewart-slams-jim-cra_n_173738.html

But i will, and here is an article of Cramers past predictons and just so many other wrong things.

He's also so bad that FOX news ran a commercial on Cramer : http://gawker.com/5061757/fox-business-points-out-that-jim-cramer-is-wrong-about-everything

Here's Cramer calling for a housing bottom, and ummmmm wrong again: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/08/12/jim-cramers-housing-botto_n_257678.html

(sigh) The guy is what you call a man with retardation growing on his brain.

I stopped watching his show

I haven't watched Cramer in a while because when I did, his picks did not pan out. He is a permabull and tends to exagerate a lot. He thinks often trivial things will make a huge difference in company performance and has a strong opinion on everything. This makes for good viewership but not for investing, and certainly not for trading. He also tends to pick overvalued stocks in overvalued sectors directly counter the "dogs of the Dow" concept which has been proven to work. He does have some good insight sometimes, but then again so do most people. Haven't read his book but it seems that people have a good opinion of his book. Maybe that would change my opinion. I stay away because he just is not careful about what he says, he gives a strong opinion all the time which could give me a somewhat random bias and be harmful to my trading.
