OTOH, his antics would make great fodder for one of those "farting videos".
The guy knows his stuff. It's worth watching.
The Street was great when it first came out, but it got old rather quickly.
You can't be that "low income" if you're investing so much money in a single stock that you lose more than $3K just because it goes down for a few days.
I'm skeptical after I heard him recommend TOL and KBH a couple of weeks ago. Maybe he's just that much smarter than me.
Another good one!
I would not follow any of his specific tips, but he does point out many things that would otherwise go unnoticed, usually too late to do anything about it. Do not get caught up in his excitement.
He recommended SWKS a few weeks ago, which I bought and it hasn't done so well...
Cramer has always been that nutty, he's a total side-show to watch. I remember when he quit his radio gig because he was so P.O.'d by the way it was produced. For me, it's much easier to just "listen" to him, watching him is too tiring ;>
He has bounced around to a channel with no viewers
He was on with Don Imus a couple of weeks ago and he wore me out just listening to him for a few minutes. He said he goes on no sleep sometimes. I remember thinking, this guy is heading for a fall.
He's on top of things, just hope he doesn't have a heart attack one of these days. Is he a Scientologist?
Wow, he sure is reeling in the viewers.
He comes off like a lunatic hostage-taker who's locked everyone else out of the studio. The schtick gets very old very fast. He's like Wally George without a desk or toupe.
Anyone who hopes to parlay his recommendations into quick gains is bound to be disappointed, because his recommendations seem to have a way of leaking out early to those in the know. For example, if he recommends Acme Gadget, Inc. (a mythical company whose best customer is Wile E. Coyote) on his show, which airs after the end of regular trading hours, you will probably find that Acme's stock had already moved up a few percent that afternoon. Or, if not, it will be moving up sharply in after-hours trading, when mere mortals may find it difficult to get orders filled. And it will certainly open higher the next morning. So, though Cramer will get credit for recommending a stock at, say, $20, and it goes to $26 the next day, most of us won't get a chance to take advantage of the short-term move.
Now, Cramer sometimes has worthwhile comments about entire sectors, based on demographic or economic trends or projections. These may be worth considering for long-term diversified investment. But non-insiders aren't going to profit, generally speaking, from "hot tips" -- either Cramer's or anyone else's. Still, since there are tip addicts out there, I'll give you one, a high risk pink sheet penny stock at that: Total Luxury Group, Inc. (TLEI.PK). But don't say I didn't warn you.
so is Kudlow.
I tried to watch his show once. I kept waiting for the announcer to come on and say "Welcome back to The Aristocrats!"
