| Are Cramer's theories sound? I haven't been watching him long, and I know he has some unfortunate picks, what I am wndering though is if he gives actual good theoretical advice, or if he's mostly blowing smoke. then again, he seems to almost have a new model every show. |

Theories? He has some good points. He has alot of experience. But he's just not my type of guy.
Ever read one of those lists he has on his site? They have some pretty good things to remember, if you are a trader. I think most of that stuff doesn't apply to your average investor though. |

| Cramer the hedgefund manager is hard to argue with his results but Cramer the stock picker on tv is more for entertainment value only. I just think he gives the wrong impression when he pumps stocks that are close to the top. I dont understand why you would want to actively trade stocks like he suggests. I am not saying trading is bad but if you want to trade as actively as he suggests I would rather trade options. Much more potential for gains and your risk is limited. |

| Cramer has too much impact on the stocks he mentions even though he talks about doing research and not buying just because a stock is mentioned on his show. I used to watch him but got tired of him "stretching" to find new ways to make money. I you blindly follow his picks you'll get burned. He does have good advise but again he impacts the stocks when they are mentioned on his show. |

Did he overstep his bounds on last night's Mad Monkey show when he had the prescreened (or planted) caller say, "BOOOOYAH JIm? First....I luv da book! I wanted to thank you for WFR....I made 4 times my muny on yer call.....also, maybe you should let fokes know about the greatest opportunity there is in the stock mawket.....TSCM!" Jim not only needs to be reported to the S.E.C. but he also needs to get his butt whooped just cause he's an idiot. That's why I'm glad he's still toutin da energy pigs....BIG TIME!  |

Here's a goodun....GT had a 52 week low of 9.75...Jim didn notice it. Last week during da mawket meltdown ole dumbo Jimbo didn't even see it as a great buy at $24....nope! He just noticed it tanight....20% above that $24 low from last week. Here's a game with a Reaper payout of $10000 to da winner....go ahead and guess the highest price it hits before it breaks back down balow $24 on a closing basis. Your guess for the high can be an intra-day high....but GT needs to break balow $24 on a closing basis fo the picks to be validated. I'll go wit 29.75.  |
