IMO, most, like Cramer, succeeded by simply staying bullish in a 25 year long secular bull market. Buy the dips, buy and hold, 80 goes to 100 and 100 goes to 120, what else did you need to know to succeed in that environment? Now that the secular bull is over they don't understand the market anymore, ha! LOL! As if they ever did understand the markets.

It's really sad, you couldn't swing a dead cat on Wall St. and hit someone who'd be walking around w/o Life Insurance, or driving w/o Car Insurance, but 'Insure' their longs with Puts?? Ooo, That's Risky..Enhance their returns with covered-call writes?? O, Hey, what are you, Einstein? What's worse are the many dealz they stuffed into pension and 'money market' funds, for that gross breach of Fiduciary Responsibility, they should consider themselves lucky to walk away, even if penniless.. Don't me get wrong, I like a lot of those 'guys', many are tremendously talented, but many shouldn't be near anyone's "Money", including their own..Maybe one day, they'll figure out those figures..
