Jim Cramer’s Flip Flop of the Century

This is really just too hard to believe.

At 7:10 on Fed decision day CNBC’s Jim Cramer have an interview and said a 50 point Fed rate cut would “be catstrophic” and signal “things are much worse than they have lead us to believe” See the full interview here

Then, after the 50 point cut later that day Cramer was on CNBC the same day acting like a 17 year old virgin in a whore house with a suitcase of cash. Watch this video here. To quote him “This is what we wanted”. “It is good, these guys get it”, he continued.

What? What is it Jim? “Catastrophic? or “just want we wanted” or did we want a catastrophe?

He has lost all credibility after this one. He has been famous before for his flip flops and has been called out on them but was alway able to explain it away by saying “things have changed since then”. The question now has to be, what the hell changed this time in the 7 hours between this interview, the Fed action and your exuberant “Stop Trading” segment? Answer? Nothing………

We just cannot take him serious anymore as person we should listen to for advice. As a freakishly spastic TV persona that my kids laugh at he has value, but as someone who’s advice we should heed, not anymore…

This is the problem when you stop trying to be an honest analyst and enter into the entertaining character mode, you cross the line from saying what you may really believe into doing stunts for ratings like his famous “they know nothing” rant about the Fed.

PS Jim, We were laughing at you, not with you on that one. I give it 6 months before he is on the next “WWF Smackdown”with Vince McMahon, the only difference between the two is their topics covered.

I have to agree with you. I want to give Cramer the benefit of the doubt. He was a hedge fund manager, I am not. He has a Harvard degree, I do not. He has a widely popular investment website, I do not. But I have had the impression for quite a while that he is pandering to the audience. He’s spastic and obnoxious for the sake of the audience. He’s not a professional trader anymore, but I am.

I think Jim Cramer would be the perfect peanut vendor and your local ballpark.

Can’t you just see him, “GET YOUR PEANUTS HERE, PEANUTS, FRESH ROASTED, GOOD AND HOT!! GET YOUR PEANUTS HERE!!!!”

He’d be great at tossing them to the fans and getting people all revved up for the games. Can’t you just see him with his in-your-face attitude sassing you to buy some peanuts.

Give it a few more years and at this rate…Cramer the Peanut Vendor, coming to a ball park near you.
