I just felt like I had to say it: SHUT UP JIM CRAMER. YOU ARE ANNOYING.

GODDDDDDDDDDDDDD.

(Jim Cramer is the stockmarket/money guy from CNBC. He is extremely obnoxious and unapologetically pro-capitalism-at-any-cost)

edit: wrong network. oops.

I assume you have about 100+ other channels to choose from, so turn to something else.

C'mon, humor me. Bitching is therapeutic. :P

ps: cable here in the OC is exorbitantly priced. I had to cut back to basic.

It's like watching a rabid dog pacing the room, howling at the top of his lungs about MONEY, MONEY, MONEY!!!!!

"Calpurnia, get me my gun!"

he does not CARE that our jobs are being sent elsewhere. At all!

money money money money money!

Jim Cramer is a committed Democrat. Ive heard him attack the flat tax, and other republican ideas.

Oh yeah and http://www.newsmeat.com/media_political_donations/Jim_Cramer.php

Thats right, $264,000* Democrat

... doesn't make him ANY LESS ANNOYING!

I live in Toronto, and there is no escaping this guy. His show is carried on CNBC here, and no matter what time of day you're trolling through the channels, you ALWAYS know when you've hit CNBC, because he's ranting at a volume far surpassing any other station.

Honestly, I think they carry him 24/7!

I just watched him yell about how he couldn't care less that our jobs are going elsewhere. He sticks up for the corporations EVERY TIME, at least that I've seen. Am I supposed to be happy that he calls himself a Dem when he doesn't care about thousands of people losing their jobs right before Chrsitmas? People this extremem are liabilities IMO.

All the money he makes on the show goes to CHARITY.

What do you expect him to, personally bail out GM?

i said he's extreme and annoying. He doesn't care that all these people are losing their jobs. Complete lack of empathy, and totally in the corner of corporations. Maybe you missed his rants about how the oil industry could do no wrong. That disgusts me.

Always has been. What you see as extreme and annoying, I see passion and enthusiasm.

But I've seen him, too, and he could've cared less about the little guy on those specific occasions.

He does it and gives it away for free.

I'm sure we could co back and forth all night.

And..I mean freak in the freaking Game Show Host!

Sheesh....As if we didn't all know the Stock Market has been nothing but a "Casino" since the DOT COM Bubble and throughout Bush with his "Plunge Protection Team."

What REAL Stock Market wouldn't have gone way down with Katrina and the Gas & Oil Prices through the roof? What REAL Market wouldn't react to 30,000 GM workers being laid off? (even if their contracts have to be paid for a couple of years...what does that mean to our American Economy? The strength of our ability to pay interest on all those bonds the Chinese and Japanese are buying to support our debt?

What news has really affected this Bush Stock Market as manipulated as it is with the "Silent Hand of the PPT" holding it up whenever there's bad news?

But....hey...follow Cramer's advice and he will make you a "MILLIONAIRE!" Until the bottom falls out eventually...but it's nice for the ride if you are savy enough to figure what he promotes will get a bounce and you can "trade" in and out. Sort of like when Oprah tells us females what bra to buy and the department stores sell out by Noon the next day.

:puke:

Then criticize him. BTW, I have made money off some of his plays.

he's just obnoxious as hell.

You'll learn a lot. He gives the little guy all the big secrets he learned at Goldman Sachs.

He is very admirable, IMO.

I can't stand him. lol... did you miss the OP?

He can teach you how to make your own plays and outpreform the market.

I have no intentions of watching this guy's show on purpose. Thank you for caring about my portfolio (and I do say that sincerely), but I cannot stomach him.

I'll watch the show for you.

:toast:

:toast:

:grouphug:

he's just so abrasive. if it changes my mind, i'll admit it. :grouphug:

money.....at first. As long as you know to keep your hand on your back pocket at all times. You sound savy enough to know that...but the guy is a freaking maniac on coke or speed or something.

I'm invested in the Market...have watched him for years...when he used to be "real" and wore a suit and give Maria Barteromo tips (which got him into big trouble on CNBC) way back during the 90's. I've watched him morph into a wild man since then.

He gives you tips so you can trade. If you are happy with that and have made some $$$'s then good for you...but just beware that at some point you don't get left holding an empty bag when his Carnival Act wears off or you find out the tips he was giving were bogus...

As I said...you sound savy enough to know...but what about the rest of the folks who watch him who aren't. Those are the folks I worry about.
:-(

I dont think he expects anyone to be all in on a hunch.

I suspect you think that Donald Trump can help you learn how to "swim with the sharks" and not be eaten by them, too.

Even though "The Donald" is just about bankrupt.

I'm just saying here...watch it for fun...and if you have extra dollars you don't need and want to invest in some of his tips...then do it. But, beware of having belief in this guy. He's selling. And, with the way the market it today the folks he's promoting are making him money everytime the folks watching his show put in a "buy order." It's great theater, entertainment and it keeps Jim and the companies he promotes stocks up. That's good for everyone, isn't it? Until the the day when it isn't. And, it isn't going to be THEM left holding an empty stock...but YOU. :shrug: just my 2 cents..and I'm a market player, too.

Well, say it aint so.

:D

Right now working on an econ degree.

hope he doesn't give himself a stroke

and he's right more than he's wrong.

:D Trustworthy "Screamin' Jim?"

But when you read this article, you will see he's a lot smarter than most econo/pundits (like Ben Stein).

How the US Stock market became the worst in the world

He's still annoying.

I don't have cable, but I've seen him at friends' homes. The last time I saw any of him, I imagined what it would be like when he goes home at nite -- "HI! HONEY! I'M! HOME!" at top volume. :evilgrin:

with him and Pat Buchanan, and they were both in agreement that the salaries and bonuses paid to corporate executives are WAY WAY out of line and should be substantially reduced.
