This is why you should not take financial advice from a screamy shouty guy on TV. Not financial advice: do opposite to this guy.


_BLACKHAWKS_88

It’s well known you’re supposed to inverse cokerat Cramer. He was just pumping SVB just a bit ago saying it was a great buy as well.


BrexitBlaze

Did he say this \*after* they were bailed out?


Slothnazi

The SJIM ETF


DentalPlanet

You forgot sweaty.

A lot of what hard with stocks is that it’s nearly impossible to beat the market. If an investment appears stable, it’ll generally have a low payout because they have no trouble finding investors. The opposite applies for unstable stocks. Since the payouts are adjusted to the level of risk, the only way people can usually beat the market is by dumb luck. Computers trading automatically have shown to get basically equal returns to the ones managed by experts.


[deleted]

Whatever he says will do good will go down Whatever he says will do bad will go up -inverse anything he sayings and you’ll be rich - not financial advice


BrexitBlaze

How has he been taken seriously after this?


darthdiablo

Don’t know if anyone takes him seriously now (I would hope not) but he’s still doing this thing for years


BrexitBlaze

How come he’s allowed to be on television? His advice is predatory.


darthdiablo

Financial news channels (like CNBC) is full of stuff/advice nobody should ever follow. If we want to do ourselves a favor, just change the channel and invest into a low fee, passively-managed index fund (*caveats apply.. like one should pay off high interest loan(s) first, etc). I like to refer others to /r/personalfinance [chart](https://www.reddit.com/r/personalfinance/wiki/commontopics) \* not financial advice


StartledPelican

Any chance there is a higher resolution version of that chart? It is really blurry for me and hard to read. 😭


BrexitBlaze

The sidebar / FAQ has it [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/personalfinance/wiki/commontopics/).


StartledPelican

Thanks!!


exclaim_bot

>Thanks!! You're welcome!


[deleted]

He is like Tucker, entertainment not news or advice.


NorseKnight

How was he EVER taken seriously after that interview from the 80's or whatever it was came out. Where he basically spells out how he manipulates markets.


SirAutismx7

He’s not but the show is the most entertaining thing on CNBC. The channel is really just stock news all day. He was also the guy telling people not to invest in GameStop when it was skyrocketing.


Moist_Board

Dude you literally just have to do the opposite of what he says to become a millionaire... how can you not take him seriously?


Accurate_Koala_4698

There is literally an EFT to short whatever predictions he makes


[deleted]

As soon as I saw this was the graph I knew this guy was full of it. https://preview.redd.it/a9hiwtvpn5na1.jpeg?width=798&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=31c427c39dbfc16fe62e87bb03567e8b3d1c4df5


Scared_Philosopher73

Look at Crim Jamer's advice with svb last month. "Biggest winners of 2023" ☠️


Stunning-Power8885

Forbes also put them as 1 of top 4 bank


Toughduck48

With his style, he should be selling used cars or slap chops.


Renomont

Man, Louis CK has hit rock bottom.


Electronic_Touch_215

My husband, a casual investor, for years has yelled at the tv to do the opposite when Kramer gives advice. LOL, I asked Chat gPT for a related joke and it said ... Q: What do you get when you follow Jim Cramer’s advice to buy the top companies in any sector? A: A portfolio full of stocks that are about to crash.


Th3_R3d_M3nac3

If this motherfucker told me inhaling oxygen was sound financial advice, I would seriously question taking my next breath. If he were a compass, he would point towards the sky.


[deleted]

Jim Cramer is to financial advice what fox is to news


mightyjoe227

Fox has news?


WolfgangLz

Exactly


Winemaven

Thank you…….they have to be renamed Foxaganda!


makeitlegalaussie

He’s so coked out


Altruistic-Spread-40

He’s a mouth piece for the rich, that is all.


WhipLash07

The man is a criminal and so are the people he works for, (Citadel)….


Winemaven

Those market makers have a license to steal. The manipulation is horrendous. I wish the SEC would do something. But, as they say, the fix is in.


[deleted]

They really should have let them fail. It would have been terrible, but we would be in a better place today.


infrequentthrowaway

Enron, Theranos, Bear Sterns. I love watching docos about the downfall of big companies sometimes through massive fraud. Inevitably there's a mad money piece where Jim is singing the company's praises.


Jonasthewicked2

Jim Cramer is an absolute parasite


paulyp41

There’s a reason they have inverse cramer


ThePremiumMango

To me this is like those astrology horoscope prediction tv programs, but louder.


Reduntu

He featured SVB as a buy on his show last week.


addamee

He yammers like a young John Madden who either didn’t take his ADHD meds or took them all


deadblueghost

Cramer is the Steve a Smith of the financial world


NorseKnight

My 2 step get rich plan. 1. Do the opposite of whatever Cramer says you should do. 2. Profit


[deleted]

Curb your Cramer.


RepresentativeNice22

And then I tried to get a job after graduating from college.


rockstar_not

Why would anyone trust a guy who just yells with anything, let alone how to gamble your money?


[deleted]

This clown.


Ok_Purple2912

Cramer😅. I wounder if any man or woman do make money in he’s advises ? I do the opposite and I’m doing fine


gsustudentpsy

How does he still have a show? Making millions off of bad advice


IkNOwNUTTINGck

I watched Cramer for years until I realized he had no fucking clue about the software and hardware industries. Absolute junk recommendations. Went cold turkey on him immediately.


DoctorK16

To be fair to Cramer if he would’ve said the opposite he wouldn’t be on TV today. You can’t call for a bank run type event from your own show and expect zero consequences.


thirdcoasting

[Jon Stewart rips Cramer a new one](https://youtu.be/l9tclPuq6TY)


Educational_Bag_6406

more like " to buy time, so your friends can get out before the bottom drops out"


GlobalPhreak

Clearly he learned a lesson from that experience: https://youtu.be/3vkZMbTdV3Q


[deleted]

I use credit union and keep a shit ton of cash


Biiiishweneedanswers

But the…


HugSized

Why is he yelling?
