Wall $treet Week With Louis Rukeyser Vs Mad Money with Jim C
I miss the Friday night PBS show of "Wall $treet Week With Louis Rukeyser" and many of the quality guest he used to have and the intellectual dialogue which was intriguing. I found it to be informative.
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. Anyone else miss Wall $treet Week With Louis Rukeyser? (or even remember the show?) Last edited by HandyGrandpap; 03-10-2023 at 08:33 PM. |

While his show and its elves were certainly entertaining an index fund investor did better.

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. |

I recently read about a couple of new etf's that are going to track Cramer's recommendations, here they are.
The financial firm Tuttle Capital Management has launched two new exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that allow investors to bet on the daily stock picks made by CNBC’s Jim Cramer on his show “Mad Money”. The SJIM ETF (BATS: SJIM) is designed to perform the opposite of Cramer’s recommendations, while the LJIM ETF (BATS: LJIM) backs his picks. |

I was pretty young when I happened across Lou Rukeyser’s show. I did not have much of a frame of reference for investing — and I did not have any money to spare then either. But I was intrigued with Lou, so I stuck around.
I can’t take much of Cramer. Once in a while, I might look at his show for a few minutes, but other than that, I don’t bother. He is too clown-like for me. I know. I know that’s his shtick and has made him famous, but I find the frenzy of the show to be tedious. OP, if you don’t know about Consuelo Mack, you might want to give her PBS show a try. She interviews interesting, big-deal investment people each week. Her show is called WealthTrack and you can find previous episodes on wealthtrack.com, along with more information about her.

Cramer touted SVB last month. Frankly, I can't stand to watch him. He comes across as way too hyper.

One can discount most of what the business guru's are saying. If you want to know what the market outlook is, i.e. what the S&P, QQQ, IWM, etc. are doing and the geo/political outlook watch A. J. Monte Weekly Market Report on YouTube. This is the link for his Friday report: https://youtu.be/iYjNxTTFzSI
If you don't want to see the market portion skip forward to the geo/political last part. He is usually right on with what the market has in mind. You can sign up to watch this weekly report for free. As a background for my recommendation I taught in the Option Club here in The Villages for several years and am an active trader. |

Cramer is a blow hard. Lou was the man.

Technical analysis is all you need. The market runs on algorithms and momentum. Pundits say they think, they don’t know.

March 11, 2008. "Should I get my money out of Bear Stearns"
Cramer's answer, " No, No, No!". Tesla IPO, "Not a good investment" If you want a good laugh, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uucOEYHIbCc Cramer's biggest problem is that he gives recommendations on thousands of stocks a year. There is no way his research on most of those was anything but superficial. |

difference
Louis brought in experts to say what is happening now and educate you Jim entertains you and kinda says whats happening now period.
I bought Jim's personal portfolio stuff he wasn't even close to the s& p 500 index. I've heard a monkey throwing darts at a board picks pretty good sometimes maybe that's what Jim uses |

I watched Louy R and in freshman year in college, my economics course taught us about stock market options. . . Then I subscribed to the Zweig report and Ned Davis research report on trading futures, then i had a blast trading on and off and made my grad school tuition on the Oct 87 crash being long puts . . I sold a few on the Friday before as well . . . I kept the checks for grad school, so cheap, but lost the trading statements in the great paper purge of 2021
All because of the show Wall Street Week, and Marty Zweig, I even have a hand written note back from him that said the banking stocks are a leading indicator of the economy. . whoopsies this week! Last edited by CoachKandSportsguy; 03-12-2023 at 08:29 AM. |
