You forgot the real-estate advice he gave to then girlfriend Barbara Walters in the mid-1970′s.

“Even Barbara Walters poked fun at her old boyfriend, scoffing at Al’s real estate record on “The View” this week. Walters recounted how Greenspan convinced her not to buy a Fifth Avenue apartment in the mid-’70s because it was a ‘bad investment.’”

I understand what the gaps are, and that TA theory says they “need” to be filled. I’m just wondering what the actual theory behind it is. Or is it just purely observational that that is what the market does? i.e. correlation that works well enough to trade on without knowing what’s behind it.

Any ideas on that?

As more evidence of just how out of touch that dude is… I was flipping through the channels one afternoon last week and stopped on cnbc just long enough to hear Cramer going off on how all the banks were a great buy and were “underowned”. BAC specifically. Great call there Jim… thanks for providing the juice for my FAZ to make some coin this week.

What a load of shit… I actually feel a bit sorry for the viewers who actually go out and “invest” based off of what that buffoon says… but then again, I guess they deserve what they get if thats the game they’re playing. Kind of sad really.

Cramer wont be fired until the last low of this bear… then he’ll be carried out on his shield.

I guess we must ask CNBC. last night I was watching a video from Jim Cramer on how Krugman, Roubini and Stieglitz are preventing a recovery. Not that I was ever a fan of Jim, but this is one of the most absurd pieces of commentary that I have ever heard. How could a group of economists that have no official government position and no influence over industry or productivity or housing supply “prevent” a recovery. And despite his many dumb predictions, we are forced to not watch CNBC for an entire hour every evening. Can anyone tell me why this guy can’t be fired?
