EKS. Imo, when it's to a person's advantage to have a stellar investing record, lo and behold, that person will never correct exaggerated or isolated compounding figures nor otherwise correct the impression that the person is a guru of investing. I don't for one minute believe Cramer's investing performance of 24% compounded over 13 years. Never see any reference to audited statements. And from what I read/surmise/suspect of Mr. Cramer, given that he IS a good investor (distinct from playing with mad money), some or a lot of his gains are also attributable to some sort of gaming the system - front running, insider access, planting articles, etc. O' Neil (Ten Great Investors). Him? This is a guy who makes his money investing? Or is it from touting his newspaper and its/his CANSLIM? Another person with no audited figures that are offered to substantiate. He made big bucks on Syntex. Okay great, but what the heck. That was 35 years ago; I don't see anything he done big in the last 20-30 years in stock investing that's made him even more successful and worth learning from.
