I stopped watching CNBC awhile ago. They are all truly clueless. I used to think their demo was the financially sophisticated until I saw them advertising Video Professor, you know "try my product". Well if you are watching CNBC and you don't know how to use a computer, you have bigger problems than figuring out over/under sold markets.Cramer is a douche, always has been, so is Kudlow.

whats the takeaway from the first clip? buy oversold stocks when things are so bad it seems like they can only go up.he doesn't have a fucking time machine. how should he have known things would go lower than they had in whatever data he was looking at when he determined what the previous "bottoms" were?

48memorex - Nope. You are wrong. It is not billed as "entertainment". Jim Cramer is billed as a guy with "Billion Dollar Advice" who has "2000 stocks in his head" that he knows "exactly what to do with". Your comparison to SpongeBob may be accurate, though: You'd probably make more money watching Spongebob.

Another great video of how this con-man is getting worse and worse.

PISSEDOFSOL - No. You are wrong. I took nothing out of context. His words are what they are. The market did what it did. His later rewriting of history was predicated on the fact that his picks tanked. At the VERY least, he was so wrong that he should have at LEAST said, "I SCREWED UP," He's not even man enough to do THAT. Instead, he BLAMED HIS AUDIENCE for FOLLOWING HIS ADVICE. Sick.

I'm not a fanboy of cramer by any means...but, this whole video is slightly out of context. Why? it's missing 4 days in between.The market changes on a near hourly basis. comparing what was said a week ago is simply outdated.If you want to play the shorts, you need to keep up on it on at a minimum of a daily basis, 3 times a day m-f.

30percentplusreturns - Finally, you are just flat-out, horribly, "are you blind or just stupid" wrong. What do you think Jim Cramer means when he says to, "buy buy buy"? Lord, you Cramer apologists will do anything - even ignore your hero's OWN WORDS - to defend him. No, see, when someone says to "buy buy buy", that pretty much sums it up. But, you miss the real point: JIM IS A LIAR. Jim flip-flops. Jim blames his AUDIENCE for FOLLOWING HIS ADVICE. Provable. Obvious. And, sad. Booyah.

30percentplusreturns - 3) He does not do a "pretty good job". His picks suck. His "charitable trust" is down over 15% this year. The "featured" stocks on Mad Money are down versus all major markets. That's not "pretty good". That sucks. 4) He constantly says he is a SHORT TERM TRADER. You are wrong about the "long term". He says that's not what you do. "buy and hold is dead" is his mantra. 5) Unless, of course a pick he made 2 years ago moves up FINALLY. Then, he's mister long-term.
