I can't believe nobody is talking about this...

Did anyone watch Jim Cramer on The Daily Show?

I though John Stewart was great.

What did you think?

Yeah I watched that video yesterday, Cramer should be locked up. Or at the very least not the host of a financial show. After watching those videos you wonder who he is really trying to help with his TV show.

But you gotta believe that much of the reason Stewart unloaded on Cramer, was because Cramer had been directing his rants at the Messiah. Do you really think he would have had him on his show if he was attacking Bush?

I'd like to believe it was because of the criticism some believed should be placed on CNBC and their role in the Wall Street failure and not who is in the Oval Office. But who really knows.

All I'm going to say is anybody that takes financial or psychological advice that is handed out on tv is pretty much asking for a bad time. jmo

It's amazing how many take it as the gospel truth though. They'd be just as well off buying the toys their kids see and want rather than taking stock advice. There is actually a chance those toys will be collectors items in 40 years or so.

No doubt, Im a long-term person like Stewart was talking about, I just have a couple accounts that are paid directly from my paycheck that are for my retirement hopefully. I dont watch Cramer or any of these financial shows really for advice. Im not buying stock on my own from a day to day basis, like I think the people who watch a show like his are.
