Jim Cramer Finally Gets Called Out

I have never really liked Jim Cramer or anything that he says because a.) I don't trust him and b.) he acts like a maniac and expects vulnerable people to follow him.  The sad truth is that in this time of economic trials and tribulations, many of us feel vulnerable and so Cramer has become increasingly popular for all of the wrong reasons. At least our good friends at the Daily Show finally took the chance to call his ass out:

The logic that most people default to in times of high volatility and unstable expectations about the future is to listen to anyone who convincingly pretends as if he has the answer. Instead, we should approach such individuals dubiously as they are probably out to profit from our vulnerability. I would argue that anyone who is publicly sharing a scheme to "get rich" is actually planning on making themselves rich at the expense of the public's collective naivety. Case and point, Jim Cramer and his show Mad Money. On the other hand, there is a class of "get rich" advocates who offer up a much more solid and practical methodology at the cost of time and patience(things we don't have much of!). People like Dave Ramsey , who tell us to get out of debt, save for rainy days, and invest wisely for our future are the ones we should be listening to. Anyone who is obviously not making a play on the compulsive nature of humans and the weakness of economic vulnerability should probably be trusted far and above the Jim Cramers of the world.

Kudos to John Stewart and to all of you down at the Daily Show who finally stood up and called this man out publicly.  I would almost argue that he should stand trial with Mad-dog Madoff for the way he has manipulated people with his "snake oil" sales pitches.
