Mad Money with Jim Cramer

[nsulham]

I don't even begin to pretend that I know the first thing about stocks and all that stuff but I feel compelled to bring this show up.

I've been cycling through channels before and have come across this show on CNBC and it gets my attention everytime. This guy is a freakin nut---think Kornheiser on crack.

The guy's a bit of a loon but it sounds like he knows what he's talking about and it sure does make for some interesting TV.

Anyone else watch/see this show before?

I see it on mute for about 5 minutes as i'm leaving work, mainly b/c we have CNBC on 24/7 at work. He can get annoying and he swore the nasdaq was gonna blow past 5000 a few years ago. He hits and misses just like everyone else, but just louder and with more arm motions and moving cameras.

Yeah I've seen it for the same reasons as RD, CNBC is always on in my office. Cramer may be crazy and wayyyy too eccentric for the financial world but there is no denying the man is a genius. His Hedge Fund has put up some staggering figures in recent years but just like everyone else he hits and misses and often big on both sides. He also always pumps up the stocks he has big positions on for obvious reasons, not that there's anything wrong with that but it should be noted. He has a pretty interesting book out as well if you care to read it.
