Jim Cramer celebrated his 500th episode of "Mad Money" with viewers of his TV show Monday and guest callers Regis Philbin and New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer. Through it all, Cramer said he's had the same mission and the same mantra. The mantra, he said, has been "bulls make money, bears make money and hogs get slaughtered," but the mission is a bit more complicated. Jim talked about how he could have made more money at this hedge fund but he decided he wanted to help others make money. Jim feels he has no conflict of interests because he has no skin in the game, besides his charitable trust where all profits go to charities. "I know the market of stocks and bonds is dull and dry," he said, adding that he wants "to help you make money, but for that you need to pay attention." That's why all the props, screaming and costumes, he said. To keep marker players interested and get them in the game. "And that's what I'll keep doing." After a year on the job, Cramer said he found he wasn't doing enough to educate viewers. The show, he said, was all about stocks. He realized this and made some changes to "Mad Money," introducing educational segments such as the "Sell Block," to bring more accountability to the show and to explain his thought processes. "I've tried to empower you to make money not shelter you from the market," Cramer said. |
