That bald SOB scammed his way to big money in the 90's as evident by the book "Trading with the enemy" in which a hire of his exposes all the bs he did. Now Jimbo thinks he can repent all of his sins by giving sharing his "market knowledge", and he is causing much more damage to the individual investor who sees jim as a "guru". I wish I had a link to his stocks for the 2000's he wrote shortly before the tech bubble burst in which 8 of the 10 companies went under. Cramer is absolutely killing the little guy.

I have gotten so much useful information from Rick that has molded my markete views. It's a shame he doesn't have more airtime to amplify his views; maybe Fast Money could give him some regular appearances on that show. A few people mentioned Ron Insana, and I think that guy is pure genius. They bring him on for a few minutes after the close and the guy is so honest in his views. Insana is one of those guys who knows markets inside out, best of the best. Cramer...just ridiculous. And, I'm sorry but Erin Burnett seems to have never ending praise for Cramer. She has no credibility with me because of it. Didn't Cramer go all bullish on Thursday nite now declaring the bear market dead? And didn't he rec Bear Stearns at 88, just two days after it was 68, alluding to the ''cache'' of the Bear Stearns name?...unbelievable....

Atleast some pleasure looking at them instead of Kudlow and Cramer... who look like prunes. Erim Burnett and other pretty air heads need to stay.

Rick Santelli was off on Friday. Others have disappeared from CNBC mysteriously (by CNBC gestapo's) Rick Santelli, not only speaks at a normal rate - but has an above normal intelligence!

Rick Santelli is the only one on the CNBC US crew that is able to make sense of the market he covers and the linkages to other markets. Erin Benett is sharp and make sense sometimes. The rest - all airheads, paid to look pretty and sprout 'apparently' sensible comments. I don't even want to get on to some of their guest presenters and/or 'experts' - some of this folks come from Planet Mars. I live in Asia I would even bother to rate CNBC Asia or CNBC Australia! You are better off watch Circus de Solique if not for the need to watch CNBC for market prices and data. Anyone who watches Cramer for his views and stock recommendation ought to seriously have their brains examined. The guy is just paid (handsomely I am sure) to sprout words, often accompanied high drama theatrics to fill his daily allocated airtime slot. He does not need to be held accountable for what he sprouts and neither does CNBC the network who will promptly display their disclaimer right everytime right after Cramer's speech. I have seen a lot of blog readers refernce CNBC - does no one really watch Bloomberg TV? Yes.

Yes, he has the ability to influencialy manipulate more important people (say in politics) to his way of thinking. Way worse! “really think Kudlow is even worse than Cramer.”
