I've watched Jim off and on for a few years, but never actually kept track of his picks. He is very entertaining, but is there any place that keeps track of all of his picks ( for say 6 months or so), and records whether they were winners or losers, along with the percentages?

Booyahboy audit has mistakes/omissions, because Cramer was pumping SHLD form his first show right on into the autumn. I bought on his advice in April at $147.85, and when booyahboy claims to start covering him was July 28 forward. Well, by August, when booyahboy decides to start, his advice had already cost owners nearly $20 a share, and on July 28, SHLD was over $150.

Every night thestreet.com, Jim's company, posts a recap of the show.

People attempt to independently keep track of his stock picks on Mad Money, however, I think both the sheer volume of stocks he talks about, and the fact that his strategy prizes flexibility over everything else makes it hard to keep track of him.

At ActionAlertsPlus.com you can follow Jim's charitable trust--this is what he mentions on the show all the time, but it costs a lot of money. He has about 20 stocks at any given time on action alerts, and this is probably the best record of Cramer investing as Cramer; however, he's bound by a number of restrictions even with his charitable trust. For example, he can't really trade.

No, just people who pick up on his contradictions and bad calls, as well as good ones. It's okay to pay attention, it doesn't mean you hate someone. It just means you're smart. 8)

Cramer is a just a single tool in making your investing decisions nothing more. He has some winners and losers each week but generally offers sound informed advice on the market. I picked up 1000 shares of ATI (ATYT) last week just for a trade on his recommendation and I'm up over a point. I’ll sell my shares in the morning, don’t want to be greedy. I also did well on the oil stocks earlier this year but just about every analyst was riding that bandwagon.

Sorry if there was a little mis-understanding here. I'm not trying to bash or hate anyone. I was just looking for information. Nothing more. Just like the title of this thread clearly stated.

Just like the title of this thread clearly stated.

You can find records of his picks and pans from Mad Money on this website as well as thestreet.com. I think there are some others who keep track of percentages of gains and losses, but I don't know what they are and I'm not sure what good that would do, considering how fast the market can change on news and Cramer cannot always predict in May what might happen in September, like the hurricanes.
