Perhaps I am dating myself. Jim C obviouly make big $$ for the show but viewers need to heed the buy beware disclamer, i.e SVB collaspe.

Cramer was entertaining to watch. Years ago, I made 1 trade for 1 day from a recommendation that he gave on his show and made $10k. He does have a following. I prefer other shows like mornings with Maria, varney, cnbc’s halftime and fast money, not for picks but for the mentality/emotion of the market.
Did Powell say this/do this? Did Russia do this or China do this? Did the jobs report or cpi come in hotter/colder than expected.

Rukeyser died in 2006 that may be why the show is gone?

Hey Ray,
Perhaps someone on this thread can provide more insight as to the history for cancelling the show, but it is my understanding PBS pulled the rug out from LR. Did not consult with him and cancelled the show. He was very upset and hurt the way it was handled.
Anyone with more details please provide,
Good point Ray!

I started watching Rukeyser back when I was in college and enjoyed it. My investment information sources were scarce at the time, mainly the Journal/Barrons and Value Line. Probably not fair to compare him to index funds which were not readily available at the time.

I like Cramer's morning show on CNBC (usually via podcast) for the entertainment value. You never know when he will go on a humorous rant. You can find some of those online. Numerous people track his investment errors.
