In Cramer's "Real Money" (don't be impressed by the idea I have read it, sort of, as I buy and read a ton of financial and investment books, probably like a lot of you guys) he says right from the get go that he's providing "the trading and investing secrets that enabled [him] to retire at an early age . . . ."

Well, I would like to ask Mr. Cramer what percentage of the "fortune" he has earned, enabling him to retire wealthy, has been from these techniques or secrets and what percentage has been from "thestreet.com," his, at least, two books, TV appearances, and investment advisory fees and commissions. I don't know.

I will say the show is very entertaining and, as others have observed, based on an articulated startegy about each stock and a general observation about market direction. As stated in another forum, I have a "CMM" portfolio and intend to take up some of his recomendations which I'll track until I crash and burn or am able to chuck my law practice and invest full time.
