This guy is purely an entertainer, far closer to a clown than an investment advisor. I don’t see him crying after saying the sky was the limit for Ford at the beginning of the year: https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2022/01/04/cramer-says-sky-is-the-l...

He acts like an oracle for investing but anytime there’s economic turmoil, he’s like a fish out of water. He’ll shamelessly keep on making 1000% confident recommendations though.

I actually used to listen to him until he made disastrous call after disastrous call during the Great Recession. I watched him make similar mistakes when the pandemic started. Always way too optimistic and calling “the bottom” way too early.



He's pretty much like every other investor out there that tries to beat the market picking stocks. Spends the entirety of a bull run deluding himself that he knows what he is doing and then totally confused and confounded during a bear market.

In other words, everyone is a professional stock picker in a bull market.


He's a total clown and has been a pawn and shill for wall street.

You can watch this old video where he brags about he subverted SEC laws and regulations at a hedge fund and fomented stories in the media and told lies because it was a lucrative game:

Why do you think people take him seriously? No one does. There is a tired meme about him. He is obviously doing it for entertainment.


Yes I’ve seen the memes but tons of people take him seriously. I’m sure many of the people who call into his show to ask for advice do. I personally know a handful of people who do as well.


One trick is to play with fake monopoly money until you stop losing to the Wall Street wolf reporting.
