Eu não conhecia este Cramer até ver, na semana passada, o tipo na CNBC (não tenho tv por cabo e só por acaso tive acesso ao canal). Bom...o que posso dizer...ele estava com a pivot de tv que cobria abertura dos mercados americanos no dia em que o INDU passou os 13.000 pontos e alegava que isto vai para lá dos 14.000 pontos e no fim presentei-a-nos com um sorrizinho de idiota!!! 
Pensei será este o Cramer de quem teanta gente fala
Mas depois deu uma apresentação do programa "Mad Money" em que o tipo aparecia dentro de uma banheira de legumes para defender a compra de acções de empresas que produzem bens essenciais.
Era o mesmo tipo, as primeiras impressões não foram as melhores, não sei se devido ao facto do tipo de atitude dele não se encaixar no analista "sério", mas pessoalmente não o encaixo em analista e sim em showman.

Random Musings About Mad Money
I'm a pretty independent thinker when it comes down to trading decisions. I generally try to gather up as much information to make the best possible decisions, then let the chips fall where they may. But there is a wealth of information out there on the web, so that's where my focus lies.
From time to time I find myself catching Cramer's Mad Money program on CNBC, mostly for entertainment purposes (and that's mostly what it's for....getting ratings and entertaining). I get a kick out of the noisemakers and the rants and raves, watching Cramer do weird things on the program...pure fun. He knows a thing or two about the market and trading, though....and while his on the record trades may be marginal at best, it is the educational area of doing homework and being patient as where there is hidden value. Market calls are not to be considered 'advice' or 'educational'.
Which brings us to last Friday's show. I watched Cramer carving up bears in his meat slicer to start the program, and it occurred to me that it was possible he would carve up his finger from the giddiness...but probably not feel a thing. He complimented himself heavily for calling this recent rally, showered himself with praise for calling sector by sector like some seer with a crystal ball. He claims to have not been shaken by the Feb 27 drop, but rather reinforced the vigor of a permabull. Congrats to you, Cramer....what do you have for an encore?
This is where it gets disturbing and downright frightening. New highs for most indices, right? Strong volume, lower rates...all good stuff. Commodities, gold, up...not so good...dollar down, not good at all. So what does Cramer say? 'Get in the market, NOW...for the best is yet to come'. Good timing, Cramer! Get everyone in at the top before the bears take another swipe. He was practically begging on his hands and knees to the viewers to buy buy buy. In fact, he mentioned this numerous times during the program and ended the lightening round promoting his giddiness.
In my opinion, such gibberish is not only fodder for criticism but downright irresponsible, as the last of the bulls will get sucked into an overbought market. What month are we in anyway? A seasonally WEAK market period is at hand...remember last May? Market near new all-time highs?
Statistics from brokers have shown recently a drop in retail trading. From E-trade to Ameritrade to Schwab, the small investor has mostly 'sat out' this rally from early March....mostly too scared to jump in on any 'fakeout' move.
Well, in my experience...it's when this crowd gets pushed into the market is when the market run is on its last legs. It is precisely THIS crowd that Cramer is talking to, isn't it? Maybe he has no other agenda other than garnering high ratings for his program. Let's face it, sensationalism and absolute denial makes for interesting TV...hence, more viewers. That's what keeps Cramer on the air.
