@oldmansnots - If your take is correct, then, Jim Cramer would have said, “Hey, glad you made money on those things. Super glad you got out, too, before they got hammered.” But, that was not what he said. Why? Because his “gameplan” was not just for a day it was for the WEEK. And, he BLAMED PEOPLE for TAKING HIS ADVICE. He said AFTER the fact you SHOULD NOT have been in those stocks. The bounce you credit him with, he disregards in favor of blaming people for trading them at all.

@donharrold I’m not fighting you on the video Don, i’m just pointing out, that a bounce did happen in the stocks he suggested.
Its a good video & points out the dangers of a stock picking show like Mad Money. I’m a day trader who relies on both technical & fundamental analysis of stocks, just wanted u to know he was correct if only for a few days.

@oldmansnots - I don’t depend on Cramer for more than macabre chuckles. What you seem to miss - that the other 134,000 who watched this DID get - is the way Cramer flips in this video. To have the balls to tell folks what you SHOULD have bought is what he SAID to buy, and, that what you SHOULD have been in is what he said to NOT be in, should be CRIMINAL. Worse, Jim totally ignores that he told you all that nonsense in the first place. I’m not sure why you don’t see that.

@donharrold, I’m not really defending Cramer but i am defending the technical charts he was using. But come on Don, u seriously need Cramer to tell u when to buy & sell?? Its rule #1 to take profits, at least some off the table. With the current market buy & hold strategy will not work. Besides u gotta do ur homework as a trader/investor, u can’t let guys on TV dictate ur moves, if u do, ur just being lazy.
March 26th, 2010 at 12:33 pm
@oldmansnots - Wait… Hold it. Please find the video where Jim says to sell any of those. When you get that video, let’s talk about Jim’s predictions.
March 29th, 2010 at 3:07 pm
I totally agree that Cramer tends to flip flop but he was right in his prediction. First off u have to realize he was recommending trades(short term) not investments(long term). If u look up the historical prices for his picks starting on June 13th, you will see his technical prediction would have made money on a short term trade. RIMM on June 13th 2008 closed @ $132.96, the stock then bounced to an intraday high of $148.13 on June 19th, around an 11% gain. GOOG,TOL,WFC also bounced.

I wonder if he has ever watched his own show, this was great work, thanks for the video.
This just shows us once again, you cant trust anything on tv, its all made up bullshit, and with the case of this show, criminal manipulation of the market.

wall street of course… he just described Bernanke as a friend of main street and not wall street just awhile ago at a morning show. If Bernanke will be appointed for the second term … Ithen its now obvious that this whole thing is just one damn big show., ran by a bunch of snakeoil salesmen

Aren’t you suppose to do your own research before buying a stock including read the annual reports and listening to conference calls? Understanding the entire sector and the underlying commodities are also a must-do before investing.
April 24th, 2010 at 2:03 am
if i had parents who watched his show and lost heaps from that advise. I would go to all ends of the earth to sue Him and the network. I wouldnt care about disclamer. i would sue, sue, sue. Id take it to end of the earth man. Id rally such embaressmant and shame. Pure ARSEHOLES. Anyway NO intelligent persons would watch his show. Its mum and dads. The very people the pros want to ROB. Again The bankers are thieves and so ironic. The jails. Bankrupt a nation heres your job back with big pay. lol

They way they make money, is buying lots of stocks over a fair amount of time, then announcing on TV that it’s time to start buying, people do, the price goes up, and then the one telling people to buy, start selling, making a great profit.
April 28th, 2010 at 8:07 pm
There is no bigger buffon on TV than this guy…except maybe for Larry Kudlow who referred to the US economy as being in a Goldilocks state from dow 14,000 all the way down to dow 8,000 when he finally stopped using that term. The 2 biggest buffons on TV…and they started off with a show together called Kudlow & Cramer.

Jim is the all time CLOWN OF WALL STREET.
That should be his new name and the name of his show. “The Clown of Wall Street” Show.

gee i wonder why jim cramer was said to be worth 50 million in 2005, and his charitable trust is up so much this year
May 2nd, 2010 at 4:05 pm
I’m not suprised at all..you really think Cramer would have said on air the following week “I was way , way off”..he’s gotta maintain ratings
May 3rd, 2010 at 11:51 pm
This is one man with a huge megaphone called CNBC. He’s entertaining and that’s why he’s on TV. As for his advice, it’s easy to sit here with the benefit of hindsight saying he’s got it all wrong. He’s academically guessing like the majority of us. A more accurate voice on CNBC is that of Bob Parker. He’s succinct, straight talking, but leaves out the hype - correctly predicted a temporary lowering of gold, rally in corp credit and a rally in Euro equities (since beginning of 2009).
