Ah, shit, guess that means we're having a recovery.

Yep. Oh it will open down bigly. But I expect the day to end up sideways or marginal. If Cramer ends up being right about anything, then I'm certain I've switched timelines.

Jim Cramer is a...Market Analyst? I'd call him a media personality. More like Kim Kardashian for old white people.

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 33 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Jim Cramer is a market analyst as much as Fox News is news.

Jim Cramer is █ ██████ ███████ as ████ █s ███ ████ ██ ████.

FTFY 🤣

Cramer was always a sucker. This became obvious in 2008.

"Fanny Mae and Freddy Mac are fine!" *obnoxiously forced funny-sound from one of his props*

And when called out in this, his defense was that he never would've thought that the CEOs he had on as guests were willing to lie to inflate their share price.

I hope Jim hops out a window in despair.

Then one day in the far future, I'll feel like I can visit the US again, solely so I can find his grave and piss a stream of hot, asparagus-scented piss on his headstone.

gotta respect a bro who loves his asparagus

[–] Alterforlett@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago

Everything else aside. Asparagus are delicious

Cramer is a mouthpiece for the investor class, which is probably like the top 5%. He'll say anything a CEO wants him to say and basically supports massive deregulation. While the billionaire class isn't really concerned, the millionaires don't like this.

So what you're saying is that him speaking up about Trump is a clear sign that his bosses wants him to?

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 5 points 5 days ago

A lot of investors are coming out of the woodwork, either with timid public comments or via reporters. Kramer is likely being used as a mouthpiece for these comments.

They probably thought Trump was going to given like his first term, not really doing anything except pushing tax cuts and gutting regulators. That the S&P500 is down over 12% from last month can cause major issues for some investors. Not every investor is Warren Buffett.

Didn't want to link xitter but couldn't find another source of clip. I'll replace if anyone has alternative

[–] AlecSadler@sh.itjust.works 15 points 5 days ago

I...think inverse Cramer might be wrong this time?

I don't know. This is new territory.

Go home guys orange monday has been called off.

When the coke rat speaks intelligibly then you know the world has gone to shit.

[–] superb@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 5 days ago

If it’s true, my company goes in the shitter. C’est la vie y’all!
