I like to listen to Cramer for two reasons. First, he is funny. Of course, much better comedy is available on other cable channels, so that isn't really a big draw. Second, he is hopelessly tuned into the current trend, the prevailing fad, the flavor of the minute. When I am not keeping a finger on the pulse of the market, Cramer provides a snapshot of the prevailing mood for me. I agree with you that he doesn't see the future too well. Tom

I think that Ted David should interview Cramer. He should ask him about the peformance of his stock picks. The interview last Friday with Goldman and Ted David was the best thing I have seen on CNBC in a while. Goldman looked stunned . I don't think he was expecting this attack. Perhaps Ted has been listening to some of the posters. CNBC management must know that in the long run it can't continue to have the" carnival barkers" on. very few people listen to them anymore. I think CNBC's new faces week is a great idea. It's about time that we get some new opinions on the direction of the markets. I find Cramer amusing, but I don't follow his recommendations. he was wrong on MO last year, and bullish on techs. It would be nice for CNBC to put some of the Barron's writers on the show.Their analysis of the markets was superior to most of the commentator on CNBC.I thought that CNBC would use them more since they have a partnership with Dow Jones. I think that the tech crash has taught CNBC a valuable lesson. The steps they have taken recently are very good. Keep up the Good Work.
