Wrong Again

I watched the show a couple of times and recognized it's just a bunch of planted callers with a very annoying gimmick - booya. Then it took me 10 minutes in google to find out Cramer's advice is almost always wrong. People are much worse off following Cramer's advice than if they researched things themselves or listened to someone with a track record of success.

Sorry dude but we've just had 8 years of jingoism from people who think they know squat but don't. Keep your weirdo audience but please for the sanctity and sake of The United States of American, stay away from people who aren't sheeple. You're on tv, have a loyal but moronic fan base and it's where it should stay.

Obama hires good people not infomercial spokesmodels. You're lack of success in giving advice is a huge sign to stay away from real decisions. Not enough love in your life? You can still order a wife from Russia.

Cramer

There isn't an oversupply of houses in California, exactly; there's an oversupply of OVERPRICED houses in California. The prices need to reflect the median income of the area in which the houses stand. That, my dear Mr. Cramer, would enable thousands of prudent buyers who have been sitting on the sidelines lo these many years (like me) to go out and spend our cash on a house.

Cramer has 3 solid points

While Mr Cramer with his prodiguous mind, and somewhat infantile and often irresponsible counselling is stretching things - the merits of his statements are dead on:
All three of his key suggestions would do much to change the downward trajectory of this economy, especially the first two - on the Autos, and Nat Gas replacing gasoline as the fuel of choice, the last will work too but the "blowing up the houses" part which is not his original idea, is also actually deadly logical. Dont knock the messenger till you understand his message. For once Crameri-pain-in-butt-ica (actually ear-ache-ica) is putting his considerable intellect to good use.

Listen to him this time

Jim, please be careful with your power.

Dear Mr. Cramer,

You recently told people that if they need money in the next five years, they should sell their stocks.

People who need money in the next five years shouldn't be in the stock market. It is too volatile in this time-frame.

But if they are in the market, the worst thing they could do is sell right when the market crashes.

Please be very careful with nationally televised advice.

Hey Jim, You're an Idiot!

Only a douche like you would have the nerve to ask to be the SEC chairman given your:
1) Completely infantile demeanor. Your show is a complete circus and you are the lead clown.
2) Demonstrably horrible investment advice. You've called just about every stock wrong that you've pumped during the last few years, not to mention your breathtakingly stupid advice for people to sell at the bottom of a bear market.
3) Totally compromised background. You are so in bed with Wall Street and so needing of love and attention from other Wall Street douche bags, that putting you atop of one of the key regulatory bodies is truly like putting the fox in charge of the hen house.

You suck.
Your show sucks.
CNBC has compromised its brand by keeping you employed.
Please shut the hell up and crawl back under the rock from which you slithered.
