I know CNBC isn't the go to channel for television viewers looking for entertainment, but there is some there (if you know anything about the stock market). Jim Cramer, CNBC's most energetic stock market pundit, brings a new look to the often dreary description of the stock market.
His show, Mad Money, airs Monday-Friday at 5pm and 10pm CST. His goal is to tell viewers advise on investing in the market, but in plain English, not the normal Wall St. jargon that baffles the casual investor. Cramer goes to any length to make the stocks he is reviewing memorable, even wearing women's shoes, eating toothpaste, and covering himself in multiple food products.
Another tool in his arsenal is a huge sound effect machine that sits in front of him as he does the show, helping to demonstrate the points he is trying to make (these can be heard at the CNBC Mad Money Soundboard).
Viewers of Mad Money can feel Cramer's passion for what he is doing. He became a hedge fund manager and became a multi-millionaire from it, but now wants to be able to help regular people make money in the market as well. He has become famous from his "Market Meltdown" tirade at CNBC that has millions of views on YouTube. Cramer has many fans, but it seems he also has just as many haters, by the comments you hear about him.
Jim Cramer is great for investors and Wall St. He is what this industry needs to make things interesting. Not only is he a pundit, he is also a best selling author of five investing books. Cramer may act like a wild man on the set of his show, but his stock market advise is truly down to earth.
