Why is this loudmouth still published? Why don't we simply get a list of his "tips" that went wrong? Or will the list just be too long?

NMAU, you hit the nail on the head.Cramer has lost more money for investors than he has ever made.He comes off as a loudmouth crackpot in my opinion.I have always felt if investors are are basing their portfolio on his opinion they get what they deserve.I guess if you are loud enough,people pay attention regardless of the message,but it is typical of the sorces ALPHA uses.
