You're too kind. Cramer is just a flaming jack-ass with a big mouth. He appears on CNBC just to liven that sorry excuse for news reporting during the very few minutes they are not running commercials. Cramer changes with the wind. I find it absolutely amazing that he can actually make a living off of the stock market. Enough said about cramer. Although I do have to say his track record can't be any worse than that clown over on Microsoft Investor who writes a weekly bit of nonsense called Jubak's Journal.

To All: Re: Snake Oil Cramer's get rich quick hype. (The blustering but insightful analyst with the edge.) "Just do what I tell you to do and you'll make a fortune..." Read: Just give me your credit card number and I'll get rich. Cramer is guilty of churning news and getting his face on CNBC. I don't know about his investing prowess but he sure knows how to hype his business. And hyping his business, raises subscription revenues. And subscribers attract advertisers. Making money on his recommendations may be questionable. He appears, like so many others, to be making his money hyping his subscribers up on how to make money. Cramer claims to make money for his "clients." I wonder... which clients. It's kinda like the guy on the infomercial getting rich by telling you how you can "get rich quick" giving him your money. I'm so confident you'll make money (get rich quick) that I'll let you use my service free for 30 days... but you gotta give me your credit card number first. His job isn't insightful analysis, its hype! Yeah... "Snake Oil" Cramer for sure! Blah Blah Blah, Not! --Dave
