There's a Guy over here on TV by the name of Jim Cramer... He's supposed to be a financial wiz... At least that's what NBC calls him when they promote his ranting, screaming, going red in the face show on CNBC called "Mad Money." He's also the writer of several books about how to get rich in the stock market... Obviously by following his advice.
Personally, I've always wondered about, if these people were so good at making money, why don't they just quietly make a few gazillion dollars by keeping all that red hot information to themselves and not spreading it around... Well here's why... An article in the current edition of Barron's shows that over the last two years, in a booming market, Cramer's recommended stocks rose 12 percent, compared with a 22 percent rise in the Dow Jones industrial average and a 16 percent rise in the Standard & Poor's 500 index.
You'd think if the guy was such a financial genius, he could do better than that, wouldn't you?
