He is on CNBC constantly, which is my drive time listening, and he's on all freaking day. It's nothing personal, but I cannot stand his voice. He furthermore dominates the conversation, is behind the curve on investments, is usually wrong, and likes the sound of his voice far too much. When he has the day off, I'm so happy.

I got sick of him the first time I saw him. Just annoying.
Cramer is all flash and no substance. If you buy based on his recommendation you will lose almost every time. I prefer the CNBC afternoon panel where they actually analyze and talk intelligently about stocks.
Love Cramer -- he makes stocks fun which is the way it should be.
As for the claims that his picks are no good - I would suggest otherwise -- his track record is likely as good as anyone else's out there. Some he gets right, some wrong.
I personally love Cramer's energy! Who I can't stand is when they have Austan Goolsbee on. He is so blinded by his far left political views that his answers and opinions have ZERO credibility.

I haven't found his advice to be bad.
Of course then I don't listen to a guy on TV and then spend my money blindly.
One of Cramer's mantras is "Buy and do homework." That rolls off the tongue better than Do homework and then buy if you still like it ...
There are people/sites that rate his recommendations and score him poorly. The problem with them is that they place the same weighting on something he mentions in passing and stuff like Apple and Salesforce he has pounded the table on for years.
Those ratings should be published on toilet paper.
I have heard names and stories on the show and done the research. With some, I've passed, but with others, I've purchased and done fine with. The thing is, the choice was on me. People that lose based on a showman's recommendation deserve to lose anyway.
Another of his mantras has been to NOT buy all at once ( once you have done your due diligence ). Also, don't chase and don't pay much attention to where a stock has been.

Yup. The only question is going to be how long before he urinates me off?
He's just another government career guy who has never worked in the private sector who has gotten rich off the taxpayer ( like Bernie Sanders and lots of others ( conservative & liberal )).
Cramer's resume is deep and he has encyclopedic knowledge of the investment business. He's also well-educated in other areas such as the English language and history. He's not a dummy by any stretch.
I'll be the first to admit that his voice can be grating.
I also like to DVR the Off The Charts segment and watch it again six months later to see how bad//good the prediction was. A lot of chart "stuff" makes sense as it is simply an analysis of human behavior and other stuff is just stuff that the chartists are "seeing" -- like cloud animals.
