Mad Money is a finance television program that has been running for 17 years on CNBC and is hosted by this man, Jim Cramer, a former Goldman Sachs trader and hedge fund manager turned reality TV star.
He was the OG personal finance personality.
Cramer has by all accounts had a very successful career, according to his own records his hedge fund returned 24% annualised returns over his 14 years managing the fund, which netted him around TEN MILLION dollars a year in take home pay.
His experience on wall street and strong personality made him a great pick to host a TV show which has performed very well over the years it has been on air, even if it’s not for the best reasons.
The show runners and Cramer himself have said that the stocks they discuss should not become a major part of a viewer’s portfolio and that people’s life savings should be made up of a low-risk diverse selection of stocks, bonds and real estate.
But this sounds familiar, doesn’t it? This is just the TV show version of, “hashtag not financial advice”.
It’s difficult to watch, because a confident looking man that positions themselves as an authority on the subject talking about how a stock is about to make everybody rich is going to make some people buy in no matter how many disclaimers are made.
His catch phrase is “I just want to make you money”

Bad financial forecast is not the one that correlates positively to poor outcome. The bad one is such, that has no correlation with reality at all.

[@xhelloselm]

How so? That would be randomly picking stocks, which is actually a winning strategy compared to most actual stock picking. If it loses you money, it does have a negative correlation (or it has none and the trades are so frequent that you lose purely due to fees).

[@PterippiGaming]

@@xhelloselm "randomly picking stocks" is a strategy that leads you to earning nothing from stock price change but spending all your money on brokerage commissions. "If it loses you money" - forecast does not loose you any money. Your actions do. And if you have a forecast that reliably has negative correlation and you trust that is will continue to do so you just flip it exactly as described in this video. My point is: if Jim Cramer's adivce is REALLY BAD trading both LJIM and SJIM will result in loss due to fees, so doing these "genius" funds is very much pointless. However, from the fund description it actually looks like it they are doing completely different thing and the actual target is earning money on people who overshoot price correction due to Jim Cramer's media impact.

​@@atharvaatre3273 if you just do your own inverse cramer starting back in 2016 today you would have realized over 800% gain, 171% without the netflix dump. I missed out on alot just analyzing what happens after he says to buy or sell something and ended up with a 610% gain. The gist is simple really. When he says buy something you immediately grab calls and get out at +20%. Split a reverse hedge with 40% calls just OTM and 60% Puts just ITM 2 to 3 weeks out. If its share price dumps sell calls and hold puts usually you easily get a 1.5-3x even if the puts exercised and you cover back T+2. If share price goes up take gains on calls and average down on puts. It will dump and your puts have a 70% chance 1.5-2x on the average price from the short pressure smacking it back down.

[@Palemagpie]

@@garethbaus5471 probably some measurable data points to it too. Say take the average age and stock competency of his viewer base, Layer in average portfolio size, Risk tolerance, Return Vs loss. Then backtest it against his past picks. Logically with a dataset as diverse as his viewerbase, there should be an average swell and dip that is calculable based on past results. When people took profit, or rode it into the ground, or when they bailed early in the face of a downturn. Pull all that together and youd logically see a pretty consistent spread of price / time. If you go further and separate not only what his takes are. But other factors such as his perceived confidence in a pick, the time of the segment talking about it in relation to the rest of the show. And how long he spends on a particular pick. You'd get even more actionable data. I'd imagine more impulsive or gullible traders might fall hard into a sudo Fomo mentality and have bought his first picks before the show is even over. Versus those who're more wary or might be seeking confirmation bias for a pick of their own that is widely known. But there isn't a general confidence around.

[@QvsTheWorld]

Here is a bit more context to hep you better understand the video (thought you got the gist of it right). Going long, means buying a stock in the hope of selling it for higher price later. You do this if you have reason to believe the stock is undervalued or if future event will make it more valuable. The maximum amount of money you can loose by doing so is 100% if the company goes bankrupt. The maximum money you can make has no real limit. Going short is a trick to make money out of the value of a stock going down. Here is a simplified example. Let's say I have pencil worth 5$ a piece now and you believe it will go down (could be to 4$ or 50 cents whatever). You ask me to lend you my pencil with the legally binding promise of getting you another in one week. So you get my pencil sell it right away and watch the pencil price during the course of the week. At the end of the week you give me back my pencil and you pocket the difference. Maybe you got lucky and somebody handed you a free pencil so you made 5$ (in real life it would be the company going bankrupt). If you got unlucky and resources for making pencils now need to be extracted from asteroid in space making pencils worth 1 Billion $ you are legally bonded to buy a pencil and give it to me. So here the maximum money you can loose is infinite and money you can make is capped at 100% of the value of a stock. With this in mind knowing that when Cramer tells his viewers to buy a stock, we can anticipate the value of the stock to go up because a lot of people are trying to buy, but we can anticipate that this rush to buy will be short lived because people will quickly move on to the next popular thing. So in about a week you have more people looking to sell the stock and less people wanting to buy, this drives the price of a stock down. So by shorting the stock here we essentially sell the loaned stock at high price during the buying frenzy and then we buy it for cheap during the selling frenzy. When Cramer tells you to sell then you know a lot of people will be looking to sell and fewer people looking to buy, thus lowering the price. So you buy now instead and a week later the amount of people looking to buy and sell should be back to normal. With less sellers and more buyers the price should then be higher. Of course if Cramer called it right and the company goes bankrupt the shares are now worth 0$. You could do this on your own, but it would be rather tedious, you would need to watch and follow Cramer for starter, make a list of the stock he tells his viewer to buy or sell and then make the transactions. You could hire someone to do it for you but it would probably cost you more. Instead we have funds (ETF which stands for Exchange-traded fund) witch are like publicly available stock portfolios managed by professionals. when you put money in a ETF you are essentially buying a fraction of it like you would buy a fraction of a business when buying a stock. The ETF managers do all the buying and selling so if you buy 100 shares at 10$ each and Cramer does it's thing and our prediction turn good, the fund and the value of your share are now worth more. If the fund goes up by 10% your share are now 11$ each and selling all of them gets you 1100$, which is a 100$ than what you put in. All in all it's not a really serious strategy, it's about betting on market trends instead of a company's fundamentals (like are they selling more, lowering their production cost, borrowing money to finance expansion, etc.). Being new it doesn't have a lot of history you can look at to see if it will be a good long term strategy. Cramer himself is also an unpredictable aspect of the strategy, maybe he'll sign up on skill share during one weekend and start making good strategy. Or he could just retire, get hit by a bus or get an aneurism, at this point the managers won't be able to make opposite play to Cramer and everyone will race out to sell their share of the fund, driving it's price down.

@@QvsTheWorld thanks a lot for the context, it seems I'm not stupid, just uninformed 😅🤣. So long term would just be normal investing (or at least what I always thought that people did in these environment). In that case, short term as I'm seeing from the context, would be a precursor of nft, meaning no one knows really anything (based on feelings and trends) and it's probably bogus and would not work for a pension retirement?

[@QvsTheWorld]

@@adrianhoraciosantanavaldes1908 What you might consider normal investing is buying and selling stocks of a company or share of a fund. You can buy and sell for short and long term, but shorting is more like a technique or process that combines buying and selling to achieve a specific result. You borrow -> sell -> wait -> buy -> give back to borrower. Thought those step are automatized so you don't have to personally find a lender. Shorting is a bit like parallel parking, some people can go their whole life without using it and some use it everyday. It's also pretty easy to burn yourself when you do it wrong. NFTs are another can of worm altogether, but the main idea is that they are unique digital assets that you can track their ownership. Oh yeah, maybe I did not made myself clear but sorting is ultimately about finding a way to make money when you think that things are gonna go bad. The economy can be trending down when things are bad, up when things are good or sideways when neutral and investor wanting to profit out of any situation, found many ways of making money out of any situation they can predict. I could tell you my personal opinion about how to invest for retirement (index fund / low fee ETF that invest locally and abroad), but at this point you would be taking financial advice from a KZbin comment. Personally, given that we live in a system governed by money, I find it somewhat shocking that most develop country don't include more economics in their curriculum. Especially since we expect everyone to manage the funding for their retirement. If everyone had a nuclear reactor in their home I would hope there would be a more structured effort to educate people about nuclear science. Maybe not PhD level, but enough to know what to do when Geiger counter level is bad.

[@cordovalark5295]

It's not that he is so bad that he's good so people do the opposite. It's that people are finally waking up to him being a charlatan. His statements on how he made so much money for himself and the partners when running a hedge fund are/were mathematically impossible, especially given the Markets at the time. So either he is A.) Talking out of his ass or B.) Insider trading etc. Take your pick.

I bet the reason why following Cramer is a bad idea has to do with the fact that doing so will always leave you a step behind the market.

By the time news hits Cramer's desk, it is over... A.K.A the opportunity is gone which is why investors, if wise, would study macro economics and do their best to understand how event A or event B may impact the masses and then from there make an investment decision before event A or event B turns into news' that hits Cramer's desk...

[@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley]

My stance is to just be skeptical of anyone saying "I just want to help you make money." My 8 to 5 job is the only thing I trust with those words. Always ask yourself WHY anyone would be so intent on wanting to help you make money. And those who shout the loudest about it are usually the ones who stand to make money when you inevitably fail or are scammed.

[@ghostnoodle9721]

It depends, there are some worthy investment opportunities to be had. But I mostly limit myself by who is offering it to me. My uncle is far more trustworthy with anything than some rando off the street or internet

I wouldn’t want to keep that mindset. Start learning to strengthen your financial literacy before you doom yourself.

[@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley]

@@diegoz4220 I said to be skeptical, investments will always have an air of risk. But there are some that are worth it and others that are pitched from the mouths of snake oil salesmen. I still feel it's wise to always evaluate why someone might be adamant about supposedly wanting to make you money, espcially if there's a dollar amount they want from you in order to supposedly achieve that wealth. You can have all the financial literacy in the world and still get suckered into a scam or a bad opportunity, nobody is immune.

just goes to show that there is a level of market manipulation going on here.

I find his show entertaining and it does get people into investing but like anyone he is wrong alot.

No, he's about speculating which is very different from investing.

If Cramer made 10M annually as a trader, why would he ever consider a TV show? Does anyone REALLY think he was handed a contract that guaranteed 10M? Especially at the start of his show? He MIGHT have been given a 2yr, 1M deal to start, and then maybe another 2yr 10M deal. He's totally full of it

[@williamyt6174]

Seems like an easy way for Cramer to manipulate the market...

[@joesoap8125]

He's good during a bull market, which a lot of people can do. I don't dislike his stock picks, but he does appear to try to time the market and says nobody can, which is correct of course. It's not an exact science and nothing is predictable. Have to do your own research as well. There's a lot of people who make fortunes from the ignorance of others. For example, a wealthy 19th century diamond trader made lots of money out of diamonds but he was never a miner, who he traded the diamonds from for things like food and mining equipment. The investment club thing is a bunch of good stock picks that don't fluctuate as would 20 stock recommendations a day, which is unfair because there's a lot of talk on the shows. The club stocks change a lot slower. He doesn't suggest things like shorting or weird ETFs, just stocks, and cycles them around based on market conditions. So in a bear market his investing club will lose - no doubt there - that's normal, but he's trying to drive a bunch of viewers who will freak out if he starts trying to teach them advanced trading strategies. In long investment only.
