DvsJ | Is Jim Cramer from Mad Money on CNBC as good as he says he is? |
I've been watching Mad Money for awhile. I've read some of Mr. Cramers books also. I was really starting to think he's a guru of sorts. I figured asking the question on here might be interesting. |

He is an entertainer and that is all. He gives an opinion and people think what he says is golden.
I still don't understand why people rely on his word rather than doing their own research. Rather than looking deeper into a few stocks, he spends most of his limited time trying to get an overall rounding of many stocks.
I like watching him when he is on but to me he gives just an opinion and I have never bought any of his recommendations |

I watch the show for entertainment, and some general market information. I lost money on 3 out of 3 of his recommendations. |

He was very good when he was at his hedge fund. Generated 24% annual returns for 15 years. However, he isn't doing what he did at his hedge fund anymore. He is trying to be an expert on every stock. He himself says that you need to spend an hour a week on every stock in your portfolio. There has to be 1,000 - 2,000 stocks in the universe he follows...he can't humanly cover such a large field, and do it well. I follow two industries closely, and it seems like every pick he makes in those two industries is wrong. Most of his picks these days are based on superficial analysis (he isn't alone in this). I read his books, and it is clear to me that the guy does know what he is doing. But he has spread himself too thin now, and his advice seems to have slipped accordingly. I'd stick to the books and stay away from the TV show. |

History shows that gurus only last for four or five years. That's the amount of time it takes for their luck to wear off.
Don't believe me?
Some facts and details are provided in the book "A Random Walk Down Wall Street". |

Well in my opinion, the TV show is the lecture while the book is the information. |

When taken with a few grains of salt his advice is worth listening to. And he is entertaining. That is worth something. |

I am the exact same as you maybe watching him a little longer, people really tend to bash him and say things like he is an idiot or even sabataging the market some how. I personally feel he gives pretty good advice, he doesnt claim he can make anybody rich over night but he reccomends some good ones and some bad. you should really just see which of his suggestions you agree with and roll with it. Yamana did pretty well for me but agian six flags and rite-aid didnt. just done stay to long at a loss remember you can buy it back. |
