Re: Jim Cramer
Asked my Dad about Cramer and what he thought.
I know nothing about the stock-market or investing but my Dad certainly does and I respect his opinion as he has done extremely well for himself over the past 25-30 yrs or so I guess.
He watches CNBC for god-knows how many hours everyday (even records it when he goes out golfing or whatever) as well as reading, reading, reading.
Anyway, I asked what he thought.
He doesn't follow Cramer religiously or anything, but does believe the guy actually does know what he's talking about more often than not unbelieveably enough.
He also mentioned how much Cramer built himself up from very little as has already been mentioned (conclusion: so he's probably doing something right).
My Dad is fairly particular. So for him to say the guy isn't completely full of it is significant.
My favorite financial-analyst is probably Wayne Rogers when he's on the Fox News Channel.
I'm not a big fan of any of those other guys on the financial shows on Fox. But Wayne Rogers (the guy who played Trapper John on MASH) seems really sharp and I just wish everyone else would shut up so that he could talk more.
Interestingly enough, my Dad and Wayne Rogers live just a few miles from each other in the Destin, FL area (might just be a 2nd home for Rogers though).
