Jim Cramer snaps on TV (again?)

[Apotheosis]

We know this guy can be intense, what are your thoughts?

[Skeeter]

his whole shtick is being over the top. Haven't you seen his show? this is par for the course.

[Bobmuhthol]

Yeah that's not unusual for Cramer.

[Apotheosis]

His co worker seemed a bit freaked out in dealing with him.

[Kranar]

I agree that for an ordinary human being, behaving like that constitutes snapping... but for Jim Cramer, a guy who throws chairs around on his set and yells at the top of his lungs regularly... this is just business as usual.

[Apotheosis]

Yeah, I really don't know much about this guy, I've caught a few of snippets of him in the media, and am aware that this is pretty much his mode of operation.

[Bobmuhthol]

She isn't so much his coworker.. it looks like he's a guest on the show, but I don't watch it to be able to recognize it. It's certainly not Mad Money.

[Apotheosis]

I didn't realize that wasn't mad money. his show should be interesting tonight.

[Bobmuhthol]

I should've paid closer attention to the big "STOP TRADING" on the screen. That's the name of the segment, it's part of the Street Signs program. Jim Cramer's on it, and the woman is the anchor.

[Apotheosis]

No wonder she was uncomfortable. He totally dominated her segment.. ROFL.

[Gan]

He reminds me of the guy on the street corner with the cardboard sign that reads: THE END IS NEAR

Any man who wears a shirt buttoned to the top and a tie but rolls his sleaves up is a man that cannot be trusted. Undue a fucking button dude!

i am forced to watch this channel while im at work and this is Jim Cramer's MO but he went a bit far on this one. He loves to instill a sense of urgency which does nothing for investors who watch him.

Analysts aren't watching him, traders arent watching him, only common people are watching/listening to his shows and when advisors work hard to explain a portfolio model and market movements to these people it is very damaging to everyone when they listen to this fool stir up the pot and get everyone worked up.

People who watch this garbage need to understand that Cramer and his analysts are very smart but to take everything he says lightly before you go out and start moving your portfolio to cash.

[Bobmuhthol]

Watch the stocks that Cramer talks about on Mad Money, and you'll see an immediate difference in after hours trading and when the market opens the next day. He can influence a decent in and out trade, but it's not worth paying attention to his picks long-term over anyone else's.

[Stanley Burrell]

He must have a really good cardiologist.

I don't know about analysts... but traders definite do watch him. Maybe long term investment bankers don't, but where I worked trading on a day to day basis, you would definitely listen to what he had to say because of the effect his show has on the market. It usually dies down after a day but you could make a pretty penny based on his stock tips.

[Ignot]

I agree with you about the penny stock markets. Sorry I didn't make it to clear as to what traders I was referring to but i wasn't referring to the small penny stock traders as no institutions will trade blocks of penny stocks.

Just curious, where did you work?

[Kranar]

During the academic year I worked for a company called Swift Trade. Just walk in at 9:15... get some trading in for an hour starting at 9:30 using their money, and then head to class at 11 AM. Nothing major like investment banking, it was a direct connection to the NYSE and some ECNs. Jim Cramer's word was gold for us.
