Jim Cramer is a con artist - just another grifter. Don't ever listen to his advice. Jon Stewart exposed him for the "crook" that he is. No comparison with any PBS financial analyst, present or past, and losers like Cramer.

You know Cramer got out of the market over a year ago for his personal portfolio. I also got out 15 months ago.
IMO, everybody has an opinion, for example technical analysis, but a lot of the market ebbs and flows is emotional

[Ray Greene]

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

[rsmurano]

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.

I made $8k in one day by winning a lottery for TheStreet.com IPO. I flipped it the same day.

Oh how I wish I got in on the IPO craze earlier. It made many millionaires almost risk free.

For that I am thankful to Cramer.

Stu Varney is my go-to guy if i need to know what's happening. i don't watch or listen to too many of them, -my advisor says take Cramer with a grain of salt, & i agree.

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!

Cramer gave an infamous speech in 2000 about his top picks as the internet bubble was about to implode. It was a beauty.

They fired him in 2002 and replaced him with a Fortune Magazine based show.

I stopped watching Mad Money after about 5 months after I became more knowledgeable about stocks. Cramer is just "guessing. The better shows are Fast $ halftime and Fast $ afternoon......MUCH better!

Prefer Consuelo Mack's Wealthtrack.

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.

Index funds weren't available? These people are entertaining but that's the only reason I'd watch them, not for advice.

I remember the night a portfolio manger told Rukeyser off for being so full of himself on live TV. He had it coming.
