MY GOD. I just watched "Mad Money" on CNBC, and I'm ready to run the marathon. What an incredible premise, incredible energy.

Wonder if any of the info is for real. Ah, who cares...I could watch that balding, coffee suckin, sweaty little homonculus scream and stomp all thru a trading day....GREAT TELEVISION.

I wish that while he's pacing around the room he would throw things when he gets so excited.

The problem with the program is that he is usually wrong.

I love that show. Who else makes Business news exciting and interesting?

He's a great showman, but also he knows his business. I take everything he says with a grain of salt and a lot of personal research, but he has been right way more often than wrong.


Booooya!

Cramer is a no talent, loud mouth hack. And he looks like a recovering alcoholic.

Nope. His track record is pretty good, and he admits his mistakes unlike any of the other talking heads.

He often recommends something I wouldn't buy after doing a lot of research. I always do my own research, but he has given me some good clues along the way. Still, those things I wouldn't buy often are appreciating - just not in my portfolio.

I believe he is a Democrat as well.

Cramer: "I envision those things occurring. I am a Democrat though and feel that Kerry would in the end surprise you and be a lot more like Clinton, which was a fabulous time to own stocks."

'nuff said

I can't watch him for more than about 30 seconds. I'd like to listen to what he has to say, but with all the screaming, sound effects, heavy perspiration and arm-waving it's mighty difficult. Just say what you have to say without the hysterics and let your words stand on their own merits, for goodness sake.

The feverish showmanship makes him appear like a deranged car salesman.

My dad LOVES the show. He's retired, so investing is his hobby, and has the money to play with, but would never invest without doing his own research. He claims Kramer is right far more often than not.

CRAMER: Well, a lot of people seem to think that the President can really do something about job growth and the President’s pretty much done everything.

The rates are low and the capital gain rate, so he’s kind of done everything he can do and it’s still not working.

Then you have this new resonant theme which is this outsourcing. You know frankly again, I’m a free trader and I like open borders and I think Bush has done a good job on this, but we’re not producing jobs.

In a way the Democrats have kind of set the debate. Even though we have really good GDP growth, even though we’ve got really good order growth, even though we’ve got a lot of stocks, at a 52-week high, it’s not enough and that seems to be working with the American people who seem very puzzled.

And Bush doesn’t seem to be able to tell a good story about why it hasn’t happened yet.

From the same interview. Boy, this guy is spot on...-sarc

And this matters why?

He makes no bones about anything except making money. Never gives a rats a$$ about politically correct stocks. Only cares about if it goes up or down.

He's a capitalist, even if he is confused about which party is best for him.

CRAMER: No, I don’t think so but I think that it’s the devil you don’t know.

I think that what would happen is people would say well, Kerry is going to come in and with guns blazing against the pharmaceuticals, maybe rewrite some of the medicare bill which was basically written by the drug companies.

Maybe he will create some distance and raise capital gains so that you would want to sell stock now because the capital gains rate is going to go up.

If he is interested in making money why in the hell would he endorse Kerry's B.S. ?

He does not seem like a smart guy to me...
