1. because he correctly analyzed the mess in P&G stock today.

A big wall street trader had a staffer type in a sell order for a billion, not million, by accident, and caused the whole market to fall faster and steeper than Black Thursday in 1929.

6. and you believe that?

I sure as hell don't.

If this error was so simple, and so easily made---why is such an easy
error made like that more often. Human behavior in these sectors has
been nearly flawless, until now.

I ain't buying it.

11. Cramer is backing off from the "glitch" spin...

I am really surprised. Cramer is suggesting that this could be a
massive sell off. He even said that a "glitch" couldn't fully
explain a 1,000-point drop.

Isn't that interesting? At first...it was all glitch, all the time. They
were told to put their finger in the dam with the glitch theory.

Now, everyone is backing off.

Low volume could be the result of just a few larger/institutional investors dumping
stocks. Maybe even the government selling.

7. Massive spin from Wall Street requires butt kissing...

Cramer's show is geared toward the average, everyday investor. The show
is a dumbed-down circus that plays to the middle-class investors--some
of whom need to be told what to do and how to feel about the market, on
a daily basis.

Otherwise, they sell off and put their money in safer places.

Wall Street is trying to prevent a panic and further selling right now. They
are in full spin mode. MSNBC is leading the way.

Matthews butt kissing is evidence that this is all just one big scam--designed
to keep the sheeple's money in the market.

What a crock.

4. just seeing him on the show made me vomit a little in my mouth

And Tweety did everything *but* place his lips directly on Cramer's ass to kiss it. Disgusting pandering on his part.

5. Sounds like it's time for another Daily Show smackdown

for Cramer. Why so many people find Cramer viable is a mystery. He's another carnival act, like Beck. OK, not as crazed as Beck. But, still, another blowhard who doesn't know nearly as much as he thinks he does.

8. Actually the Daily show pointed out

Cramer when not on his act like a clown money show and in a more sane settings clearly knows the market. The question Jon raised was why THAT Jim Cramer doesn't appear on his own show. The answer would appear if that was Jim Cramers act no one would book him. Cramer is able to give non-sensationalized analysis. The problem for the viewer is trying to figure out if he's being honest that day or not. Since I can never tell.. I tend to ignore Cramers' analysis.

12. Cramer's got a contract--they have to use him on CNBC and MSNBC

they kept his genius under a barrel for awhile after his bad calls before the "Crisis"--now
he's probably backed up and they have to use him a lot.

13. if Cramer says something, DO THE OPPOSITE.

Cramer's job is to deliver suckers into Wall Street's gaping maw.
