Cramer is, by far, the best guest they have on Squawk Box. Hands down. While most guests try to impress you with how "smart" they are, Cramer actually tries to educate the viewers about the markets. One thing that I find especially refreshing is that he is not afraid to admit his mistakes and uses examples of his mistakes to show the viewers the various pitfalls of the market. Can you imagine Jim Rogers candidly admitting all of his blunders on-air? Not on your life! Listening to Rogers talk, you'd think the guy has never made a bum call in his life. Let's face it, the only reason you knew Cramer goofed on Cendant was because he had the guts to admit he screwed up. If his appearances help his subscriptions to TheStreet.com, it is only because viewers are impressed with his knowledge and candidness. Can you picture Rogers breaking out an old Barrons' excerpt and pointing out his numerous goofs on stuff like Sri Lankan pepper? Not on your life!
