Jim Cramer: I Get Death Threats From Irate CNBC Viewers

HE'S NOT AN ANALIST OR AN EXPERT!!!!!!!!!! HE'S JUST ANOTHER MOUTH FOR CORPORATE CRIMINALS"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, THE TRUTH IS THE GREATEST ENEMY OF THE STATE." -- Joseph Goebbels, German Minister of Propaganda, 1933-1945

If you're getting death threats, its due to your personality and looks. You are a pool of catsick, nothing more. Your crappy advice is not enough for you to receive death threats. Again, it is because you're an over-animated troll in personality.

It's no surprise that people are angry with Cramer. Here is his record from Jan 2007 as provided by Seeking Alpha:

"The research is straightforward enough. I looked up the recap of Mad Money Lighting Round at Seeking Alpha and tabulated Jim Cramer"s bullish and bearish calls. I then calculated one-year returns from the second (market) day he made the calls.

Bullish: If a bullish call has a one year return higher than that of the S&P 500, it is a right call. If not, it"s a wrong call.

Bearish: If a bearish call has a one year return lower than the S&P 500, it is a right call. Otherwise it"s a wrong call.

I calculated the accuracy of his calls by this formula: Accuracy = right call/all calls. I also determined what return a loyal Cramer follower would have made if he/she had bought all of his bullish calls and sold all of his bearish calls.

In January of 2007, Jim Cramer made a total of 194 bullish calls and 123 bearish calls. Out of the 194 bullish calls, 60 are right calls. Out of the 123 bearish calls, 53 are right calls. The accuracy of Jim Cramer"s bullish calls is 30.93% and that of his bearish calls is 43.1%. The combined accuracy is 35.6%. "

Even a coin flip will get you 50% right. Cramer is without peer as a contrary indicator.

Hey, Cramer! I saw a huge stack of your book in the bargain bin in B&N this morning. I suggest you get used to that.

Why waste any anger on this loud mouthed cretin? Folks who lost their shirts based on his "advice" may take care of this *rick with suitable legal action, meantime the rest of us can eliminate his noise with a simple click of the remote.

By the time investment recommendations hit the internet and the cable shows, it's already too late for the average person to profit. Blowhards such as Cramer can sustain hundreds of thousands in losses and not have their portfolios terribly threatened, whereas the average person can be drastically affected by losses of a couple of thousand dollars. Getting good information is virtually impossible.
Oh, sure we get the diversification crap preached to us, but the reality is a consistently tanking stock market offers no security. But my favorites have to be CNN headlines such as "How the Economy is Affecting You" or programs such as Gerri's Tips. Just in case you didn't know, shop around for lower priced gas, lower rate credit cards, pay-off the high interest loans and cards first, cut back on going out to eat...... Wow, thanks for the good advice. Who knew?

It would nice to get news without spin and economic advice that is meaningful.

Cramer is no more full of it than any of the other business pundits----and no less. They get emphatic about hunches which are often misleading out of ignorance or a desire to steer the market in a given direction. Do not listen to these monkeys.

I'm surprised that anyone would threaten a comedian.

Free advice is usually worth every penny.

SO!

I am shocked at the posts on this page.
It is quite clear that nobody actually knows squat about Cramer and his history in investing.
People saying, "I can't believe people listen to this idiot."
I question these people's knowledge of the lexicon, because idiot is not apt.
And just an fyi, it is advice not advise.

And he still bald-facedly gives bad advice knowing it's messing with people's life savings! (Bears Stearns, anyone?)

Death threats are wrong, of course. But he's an idiot too if he doesn't admit that the reason he even has a show IS because he's giving investment advice for people to take. Like it or not, there IS some responsibility there.

If this is true,all I can say any moron who would follow this idiot's advice isn't very stable to begin with.

He's almost always wrong on his predictions. He's the Glenn Beck of the financial world.

Personally, I doubt he gets death threats.

Jim is a poster boy for what's wrong with TV. He's smarmy, in-your-face, obnoxious, and over the top. It's done to mask that there is actually no substance whatsoever to the guy. He's like a tacky, obnoxious car salesman you would see on a late night TV commercial.
