Jim Cramer is on TV again
Amazing after John Stewart destroyed this guy he still has a job. I think this guy has been publicly right twice in his life.

6. Basically saying that executive pay on Wall Street is out of control
not tied to any realistic good they provide, and the government should demand more restraint from the institutions they have propped up. He also argued that if they're going around bragging about their profits and shelling out the cash to their execs, the government should demand faster repayment of TARP loans or jack up their interest rate.

17. No kidding, and it took him this long to figure that out?
My dad and I were bitching about it 20 years ago. All those millions to upper management represents dividends that aren't going to shareholders and money that's not being spent modernizing infrastructure.

It's robbery. There is no other name for it.

9. I was thinking exactly the same thing.
Who has been more discredited than this POS? And there's Tweety, taking it all in like it was gospel.

12. He wasn't saying bad things
Edited on Thu Oct-15-09 05:26 PM by AllentownJake
Hell Greenspan was saying big banks should be broken up today. Maybe they had the liar liar thing happen to them.

I just wince everytime I see him because I know suckers lose money off what he says.

14. Yeah, but if he's not saying bad things now that makes me wonder-
did he know what he was doing when he told all the lies before?

16. John Stewart covered that
and the answer is yes. He knew he was a lying sack of shit encouraging people to make bad decisions.

15. cramer's made some bold and correct calls
last September he was correctly bearish and the beginning of crash week Oct 2008 he was on the 'Today' show telling people to sell money they need for the next 5 years. He then started getting bullish under 7k. He's remained bullish all the way up to now as other analysts either missed the bottom or got off too early. His portfolio is also outperforming the index this year.
