Love him or hate him, Cramer is always entertaining. Here is an overview of 4 different segments aired on CNBC either during the Cramer's a Mad Monkey show or during regular viewing hours. Tell us your favorite and why.
1.The Cramer featured segment on Mad Monkey:
During the opening 10 minutes or so of Mad Monkey Cramer presents his featured segment of the day. He could be placing the blame on "Uncle Ben" for why his picks from previous shows are doing so poorly....or he could be "pimpin around da werld" to find you stock plays which are equally as crappy as his previous plays. It was during this segment that Cramer brought us his "tech wreck" which resulted in long term tops in MRVL, PLAY, INTC, and it was also where he announced the beginning of the 18 month buy and hold wave in the fiber optic train wreck which led our own resident Cramer fan T.M. Vetelmo to set a $10 tawget price for FNSR....a terrible house of pain for those who took Jim's advice. This opening segment of da show is always entertaining....and of course.....ALWAYS dangerous to those who take Jim's advice.
2. Lightening Your Wallet Round
The segment of the Mad Monkey show where Cramer's staff selectively screens callers and only let those willing to let out a big hearty BOOOOYAAAH through to talk to Jim about his opinions on select stocks. Jim tries hard to keep his wrecker'd of bad calls in tact and in fact made the wrong call in SIRI 15 consecutive times now! Surely a feat that will never be matched. Jim skillfully uses the caller screening process to let his lisseners know when he has changed his mind on a call that will surely cost his flock of sheeple money. So if you are actually stoopid enough to buy when Cramer says to....you may want to catch da Lightening Yer Wallet round.
3. Am I Submersified?
Cramer himself mentions this segment as a fan favorite. Callers get a chance to talk to Cramer himself and find out if the picks that they bought because Cramer said to 3 months ago are down far enough yet to cut losses. BOOOYAH JIM!....I own WFMI, GG, HAL, CPST, and BKHM....am I submersified?!!....Well....it looks like you have a pair there with HAL and CraPSTone being in the same sector sort of.....but they are all down nicely since I wreck-o-mended them so....HALLALUYAH!....Yes! You are indeed submersified!
4. I am an idiot....but I can't stop trading!
During this segment currently aired at 3:30 EST on CNBC Cramer does a 3 minute rant about what ails him about why his calls aren't working out. He also takes the time to recognize a few stocks that are trading up on the day and as close to the 52 week high as possible so that his viewers will have even more opportunities to maximize losses.
What's your fav-o-rite?  |

Am I diversified, has probably the most value to an investor. you really should not own multiple stocks in the same sector if your investing. If you're just trading it doesn't really matter.
The rest of his show pumps stocks and as I have said, after the first year on the air he's getting old and reaching to find new material.
My favorite is when he says " Goodbye for the night"(end of the show) |

| Back in the early days of Cramer, the opening advice he would give is what I always liked. I think the best Advice I ever took away from his show was when he said to "buy what you know" stores and companies that you personally shop at or go to. As for much else on his show,,,, ahhh take it or leave it. I cant leave him on the t.v. and walk away or my wife will run in there and turn the channel she hates him. Maybe grim and my wife could be the founding members of the "we hate jim cramer fan club!" |

I appreciate the fact that "da Cramer pump" carries alot less weight than it used to. Cramer used to be his own worst enemy because he would pump a stock in AH trading that was already 50%+ overvalued and the fact that he mentioned it would cause his flock of idiots to drive it higher by as much as 20%+ higher if it was a low priced stock. Basically, all of the gains the stock was gonna get were made in the first 5 minutes of a Cramer pump!  The fokes with a modicum of common sense have finally realized this and you may have noticed that when Cramer pumps sumthin nowadays it doesn't move anywhere near as much. I think Cramer should play fair and allow some of the callers with negative opinions of him get through. Instead he only selectively reads negative e-mails from those fokes and always makes excuses about how he said to sell at the high.  In the end Cramer will make the same mistakes he always has made in the past. Of course there will be a bunch of idiots that still follow his advice. But there will be no long term bull market until lots of idiots get eliminated from da mawkets. BTW, I never said I had an objection to somebody diversifying amongst a bunch of overvalued stocks. Dubya B does it all the time!  |

Nice! Cramer giving the students at Boston college some excellent advice here tonight. He just said sumthin along the lines of..."now is a good time for you all to start investing if you are going to lose money....cause you have lots of time to get it back" Excellent advice Jim! And I hope the fine students will take your advice to buy GOOG, GS, and SHLD so they can put your plan into action! Just think....when the class of 2006 comes back for homecoming in the year 2026 they might just about be getting even on the buys they made per your advice! DUMASS!  |

| Most of the kids at BC know nothing when it comes to stocks. This applies even to the "Mad Money" crowd: they basically all like Cramer's antics but know nothing about the stocks he mentions. I was talking to a couple of them and they were completely clueless about the meaning of any financial terms Cramer might use. Lots of Boo-yahs though. |

He claims he doesn't know callers stocks ahead of time, but it's obvious he does. He's always looking at the computer monitor & acting like he's typing on the keyboard pulling up stock info. The "staff" has already put the info there for him! Is it just coincidence callers are asking about stocks on the very topic he's hyping / dissing? NOT!
I wrote an email to the show & they sent a reply asking if I could call on a certain day at 4pm. Show isn't "live", it's memorex!
The one good thing I can say about cramer is he got me interested in stocks. Wanting to learn more about investing / trading, I got "da book!".
If you've never read "da book!", go to the book store & read the acknowledgments. 4th paragraph reads - "That's what this book is for. I tell everything. In fact, I'm debating, as I write this, whether to go back to managing money using the same rules and principles I outline here, because I am so certain that they work"
Cramer's not using "da book!" for his stock picks?!
I think it does have some good info for persons like myself who knew nothing when I got it, but when it comes to the show, I don't pay much attention to it except for the entertainment value. My inquisitive nature caused me to do more research, which brought me here! Most of my still meager knowledge has come from investopedia.
oh yea, one other thing that cramer says that I consider good advice is "buy & homework". I've talked with lots of people who have 401k's & are losing money 'cuz they just let the money go where someone else wants to put it. They don't monitor the plans or make changes.
On the Boston College show he mentions GOOG, GS & SHLD. I wouldn't buy 2 of theses stocks.
GOOG - the next Worldcom / Enron. Googles search engine gets almost identical results to Yahoo!. www.google.com is just a blank page with a search bar! www.yahoo.com as just about anything I could ever want!
SHLD - Big Lots has better stuff than Kmart. Sears should close the Mall Anchor stores, and downsize to the smaller specialty stores I have seen popping up around here, like Sears hardware. What REALLY irks me about Sears is the "catalog exclusive" crap. Can't get it in the store, but STILL have to pay sales tax, AND shipping on top of that! |

Well, Cramer went on one of his "buy everything!" rants on last nite's Mad Monkey show so let's see if that show mawks the o-fish-al top. I'm wreckin there will be jist a tad mo "posturing". But with Cramer obviously a hyper bull one MUST assume a position of exteeeeeeme caution.  |

| Not that I'm a voodoo pro or anything, but I figured with the end of the quarter buying we would start seeing some bad times the first few days of October. |

Well, you may wanna hurry up and take the advice Cramer gave to da clueless fokes at Boston College then. Buy 1 share each of SHLD, GOOG, and GS. That way when each of those pigs is down 50% a few months from now you won't feel so bad about having to wait the rest of yer life just to break even on the trade cause ya only own 1 share.....asuuming you are 15 years old or older of course. Cramer even jinxed the Boston College football team! |

| Like I said, the kids at BC generally know nothing about stocks. I think if they buy GOOG they'll be screwed, but GS and SHLD don't look that bad. I do think that entire segment he did here was stupid though... give the kids 3 expensive stocks and tell them its ok to lose money. |

Oh yeah...SHLD looks just awesome....it is a fine "land bank" after all and things should be lookin up reeeeal soon in da RE mawket if ya axe Cramer. I'm trying to figure out whether SHLD or UHAL will get to $20 first. Here's an idea  Rent a UHAL truck to move yer chit from one overpriced home in Cal to one in NYC. Short UHAL before you leave on the trip and I bet that by the time you get to NYC you will have made enough $$$ off of yer chort to cover ALL the moving expenses. |

He usually gets fokes in closer to the top. The fact that it moved higher after his previous sell call isn't particularly odd. I think da Cramer faithful who are truly looking to maximize losses will forgive him for his blunder. I sho do. |
