Movies and TV Jon Stewart vs. Jim Cramer

"A small but significant amount of people." What does that even mean? You really think that the major players on Wall Street with all the power and cash REALLY need Cramer to do grunt work for them? I think it's pretty obvious that they don't.

As much as people like to hate on Cramer, he was calling the failing bank stocks months before the shit hit the fan. Yet, he gets no credit for that. Or for saving people money by telling them to get their money out before the stock market REALLY tanked.

With respect, I know that you're angry, but I don't think you know what you're talking about when it comes to Cramer. Sure, the guy makes mistakes. Name any person in the world that doesn't. But it's ultimately up to the individual investor to do their own homework when investing on their own or with a broker (who will also make gigantic mistakes). There is a lot of anger about this floating around, but I think it's being incredibly unfairly directed at Cramer.
