[quote=Chris Scoreboard Johnston]Ironically the times I have watched Kramer I thought he was funnier than that little punk Stewart anyway. I do recall him telling people that if they did not need their money in the next 3 years to get out of the stock market, and that was at significantly higher levels than where we are now, so not every one of them was wrong. Another example of how nobody takes responsibility for their own lives, everything is somebody else’s fault.
Even you liberals know the only reason he went after him at all is that he criticized Barry ( Obama ). He is a lifelong democrat but he went against the cause when he spoke his mind and now look what happened. They are trying to suppress dissent as much as they can, we will see more and more of this as we move along.
[/quote]It was great for Cramer to come on the show. And he did tell people in Oct that if they needed money in next five years they should get out of the market. As my hedge fund manager I expect him to do whatever it takes to make me money, including wining and dining with execs, giving money to Rep Frank to stop regulation, and pumping and dumping on CNBC. Cramer handled that deftly, but then got soft and appears to want to become known as a statesman kind of guy like Michael F Price (the Mutual Series fund family), who is donating buildings to charity:
http://www.aecom.yu.edu/home/pricecenter.aspThat being said, why does everything denigrate to “you h** liberals.?” Regardless of his motives, the question being raised was do hedge funds manipulate the market at the expense of the small investor? Does CNBC facilitate execs who come on the show and lie? Cramer said yes. That is the real story.
The first two months of President’s handling of the appointments and policies has not been great, to be very charitable. Cramer could have just used these lines from “Michael Clayton” movie instead of his other plea:
“I’m not a guy you kill! I’m the guy
you buy!
Are you so fucking blind you don’t see
what I am? I’m the easiest part of
your whole problem and you’re gonna
kill me? Don’t you know who I am?
I’m a fixer! I’m a bagman! I do
everything from shoplifting wives to
bent congressmen and you’re gonna blow
me up? ”Instead of co-opting Cramer and getting him to their side, these dopes try to fight him. The Clintons would never have let that happen.
And that’s why last time I checked conservatives control 90% of the radio stations in this country. Rush’s ratings are soaring.March 13, 2009 at 10:32 PM #365959equalizerParticipant[quote=Chris Scoreboard Johnston]Ironically the times I have watched Kramer I thought he was funnier than that little punk Stewart anyway.

Stewart’s main premise…the main point he was trying to make until Cramer made it all about him was that we should expect more of our journalistic resources. If CNBC is going to tout themselves as the defacto standard for financial news then maybe they should spend a little time asking the tough questions. Don’t just ask the CEO’s “Is everything alright.”. Open the 10k’s, open the annual reports, READ THE FOOTNOTES (because that’s where all the REAL information is) and really push the people they interview.
CNBC does not do that. They are fluff programming with fluff information. They bring on a really smart contrarian to debate one of the typical industry shills and they give the two of them a minute 30 seconds to discuss. That’s what Stewart is trying to get at and I think he did an excellent job. CNBC is utter crap and he exposed them for what they are, Financial Farce wrapped in whipped cream.[/quote]
You’re buying into Stewart’s blame game. Sure CNBC didn’t do great reporting and wasn’t able to ferret out the problem before it happened. Guess what, nobody else was able to do it either.
I’m purposely missing Stewart’s main premise because that would be taking him seriously. You don’t take a comedian seriously right? I’m not buying anything from a self proclaimed snake oil salesman.
