I remember a column Cramer did once where he said that if one of his analysts made a wrong call, he would fire the guy on principle. How stupid can you get? No one is right all the time. Anyone who claims they are is a liar, and a fool for thinking anyone will believe them. Tells me he is impulsive, shallow, selfish and ultimately not half as clever as he makes himself out to be. The Wall Street world Cramer runs in is anathema to small investors doing well, IMHO. I tune it out as much as possible. "Wall Street Meat" is another good look into the warped world of the sell-side.

i don't hate him, i don't hate anyone, not even the permabears <G> i just can't get much from someone who is so all over the place, and has such an outlandish ego...you have to have some ego/nerve to be a successful trader, as you have to believe in yourself and your approach, and you have to be able to stomach the risk, but you also have to be able to admit when you are wrong...his collective comments are like an SI thread out of control where he is the moderator and doesn't allow anyone else to post...no checks and balances, so he says whatever he wants, and if you believe him, he's never wrong...problem with that is his columns are all in print, so it's easy to go back and check the track record and find out differently
