I have enjoyed and found valuable "Mad Money" since its inception, and I will continue to watch

Since I feel we are friends (this helps your Q rating (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q_Score)), I want to offer you some advice

First, drop the segment of you talking to the Big Shots, because it is out you can be had

Just as you say so often it is about making money, not friends, the same holds with the Big Shots' attitude toward you

Dropping this segment of your show is necessary, as you did with the old "Pimping Around the World" segment where you sent newbies into exotic stocks and foreign markets (remember your darn noddle segment :biggrin: ), so discarding this segment is nothing to be ashamed of, unless you continue

Therefore, fold this segment, dear friend...This could hurt your Q's

Okay, next this bail out you are screaming about

If your daughter rushed you, screaming, "DAD, DAD, I, I GOT TO HAVE THIS WIDGET--IT WILL SAVE THE WORLD--DAD, DAD, DAD, COME ON!!"

Dear Jim, please tell me you would tell her to slow down, take a deep breath, and let me read the small print for myself and not what the screaming news chatter is screaming, because the sky is always falling for them

Would you let your daughter succumb to the screaming car salesman on TV?

You are lucky in you have the legal and financial background to understand the small print , as well having a staff to help

You are rightfully always warning us to vet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vetting) (do homework) on a stock, but I never got the feeling you vetted this 109 page bill conceived in less than a week to solve something building for at least 3 years

Instant solutions are dangerous and vagueness only adds to the potential problem

You rightfully argue we should diversify, so shouldn't we, instead of one super dooper bill, have more targeted bills precisely aimed at specific problems? Do you really trust open ended bills full of vague points, that while helping today, could turn on us as exactly what was in the bill gets out

Again, I really like your show and only make my points out of respect to you as a Reality Check, for someone in your position can so easily get sucked in by sycophants with titles and positions

Sincerely,

-z

Excellent points........email it.........hopefully he'll have the cahoonahs to read it on the air. I'll admit it: I watch Cramer..........not to follow his stock picks, but just to listen to what he has to say, and he has a "teachers' mentality" for explaining trading terms/ideas to the general laymen or "average Joe."

However, I really think deep down inside, that there are exponential factors at work that are "pushing" Jim Cramer as well as the entire CNBC news media being too damn demanding of pushing this "bailout bill" through. They don't seem to want to hear anyone elses' opinions on the matter.........it's their way or the highway.

JMHO

Writing Master Cramer and getting anyone even on his staff to give my comments a nanosecond of thought would be about like buying a lottery ticket

Watching his Wed show (10-1), I sense we will see less and less of executives on his show

As I watched him discuss "kbr," I am thinking before I would invest in the stock I would wait to see if Cramer dares to have the CEO on; and if Cramer does, I will think: "What are you hiding or up to?" regardless how good the stock may seem, or how much stock the CEO has bought

On the bail out: Cramer is still screaming "THE SKY IS FALLING!! THE SKY IS FALLING!! WE HAVE GOT TO HAVE THIS BAIL OUT!!"

In other words, give this same slimmy Washington party of Democrats and Republicans more ways to screw us

Cramer says my type want nothing done, but I sure do--in a reasoned out way, firing precise "rifle" shots at the problems

It took us 3 years to get in this mess and now we will stop the mess in one fell swoop by giving this same group of slime an open ended contract and during an election year, gezz!

Cramer is a smart man. Not smart enough to cure the worlds problems or he would be doing it. He has gotten this market wrong all the way down. He has called numerous bottoms. He assumed the market would be down today and it would be a buying opportunity. However today he said to sell. What more could we have wanted than today. The guy from England may go down as the man who saved the world if this bailout stuff works. And if it does and we minimize our recession stocks are rediculous cheap. Stocks selling at 3 to 7 times earnings.

I am still amazed at how much Master Cramer still trusts those CEOs he has on his show

The latest one to put the screws on him his beloved Aubrey McClendon of Chesapeake Energy

Cramer's rationalization for McClendon doing this came across as lame to me by Cramer not being clear about why for us Newbies, particularly how much Cramer has raved about him

Otherwise, Cramer is not alone about understanding this market, e.g., every few minutes on daytime CNBC there is a Talking Head with a different opinion about this mess or a different solution

I suspect were I asked, if I was a Talking Head, I would say lie low until after the presidential election -- Many things will be clearer -- At present, things are too muddy

Well, ol' friend (and you feel like one after 3 years), I see you took my advice about CEOs and ran full-tilt in the opposite direction and now your show is half devoted to them not telling you anything, cue sera, sera...

I see, too, the "Lightning Round" has been cut in half and floats about so you can give more time to CEOs, weird, but okay, cue sera, sera

Viva your rants and "Wall of Shame" segments

I would request more email from viewers, but knowing you, if I suggest this, you will take it out of the show, as you no doubt will your rants and "Wall of Shame," so ignore I said this

Gots your ghost written "quickie book" ready for the Xmas season? I will, of course, check it out from the library and give it a read

My Master, excellent early call on Chris Cox of the S.E.C.

Thanks for your constant stressing DO-YOUR-HOMEWORK

Your Wisdom and Warren Buffett's work

However, more than ever, I do not trust those smooth face CEOs you interview, so kill this segment, really
