My Take
Jim Cramer is pure spectacle, and I mean that as a compliment. A Harvard-trained lawyer who passed through Goldman Sachs and ran a hedge fund, he could have stayed a buttoned-up insider. Instead he became the shouting, buzzer-slamming showman of CNBC's Mad Money. People love to score his calls, but I'm less interested in his hit rate than in his sheer commitment to making markets legible to ordinary viewers. He turned dry finance into something people actually watch. Whether or not you trust his picks, you have to admire a man who throws his whole body into explaining a stock.
