As long as you do the opposite of what Jim Cramer recommends. You will be doing alright. The network must support him giving his audience such bad advice in order to take advantage of them.

first and foremost, one needs to understand that Jim Cramer is an entertainer and not to be taken as an expert on financial advice.

He gives out advice all day long every day. Very easy to find something he gets wrong everyday

He talks about every sector as if he is an expert on every company at every moment in time. It’s an impossible task and he just does his own attempt at it with flair. He can be entertaining and annoying…both can be true.

I know there used to be a Twitter account that would fade anything Cramer said and the guy was killing it. lol

Cramer say sell he would buy. He say buy the guy would short

The guy is an idiot and people follow him like he’s a god. It’s like when people listen to what the Bear has to say about his sports picks and ignore that he’s at 35% for the year.

Despite giving shitty advice for years, he still has a job. That should tell you something. He's there to move needles with his words, up and down, and whoever he really works for is perfectly happy with him.

It's not much different than when Warren Buffet goes on TV and says 'hey everybody, I'm going to buy/sell _____ stock.' It should be illegal, but it's not.

I think Cramer is for people new to the market. I used to like him when I was first starting out but most the small cap stuff he talked like had huge upside eventually delisted. This was probably around 2006 I followed him. Novices bouncing in and out of the market what he caters to

I remember one stock called AOB, some sort of Chinese medical stock he talked up big. After I lost about 900 and it delisted I eventually found their address to be a small shack in a muddy field.

He talks so fast it's impossible to actually digest what he's saying. I can't stand the guy.

CNN and MSNBC doomcasted all their viewers into thinking we were all about to lose our asses and I’m sure all their NPC boomer viewers went cash and just lost so much wealth.

It’s all trumps fault though

I think he’s a “pump and dump” artist.

I actually really like David Faber. I feel bad for him that he has to sit next to Cramer all morning

Did you purposely misspell advice?

Jim Cramer is paid by Blackrock to get you sell when you should buy and buy when you should sell. I don't see how this guy can be up there on t. V. Given this advice and be wrong all the time i can get away with it. If you would have been buying on black monday, you'd be sitting pretty good right now. That turkey was telling you it was the end of the world.

Trump told the entire world to "Buy Now". Now Democrats are screaming "Insider Trading". If anything it's more like Outsider Trading when you tell the entire world to buy stock. Talk about desperation to get something on Trump. I believe that Politicians or their significant others shouldn't be able to trade stock at all when they are in office. It's a huge conflict of interest. Tired of the projection from hypocrites.

I really like his general market commentary. When we have a really bad market day you can get a feel for the market psyche for the next few days. It's usually pretty good.

I assume he is reading from a script like 99% of reporters nowadays.

Very few newscasters go off script and when they do they get smeared and fired.

Look at Tucker, that blonde chick, et al.
