-
Font Size:
Jim Cramer made 185 bullish calls and 86 bearish calls during the Mad Money Lighting Round program in February 2007. 102 of his bullish calls and 50 of his bearish calls turned out to be 'right' calls. A right/wrong call is defined by the following criteria:
- Bullish: If a bullish call has a one year return higher than that of the S&P 500, it is a right call. If not, it’s a wrong call.
- Bearish: If a bearish call has a one year return lower than the S&P 500, it is a right call. Otherwise it’s a wrong call.
The accuracy of Jim Cramer’s bullish calls is 55% and that of his bearish call is 58%. The combined accuracy is 56%.
The return numbers look even better. During the one-year period after Jim Cramer made his calls, the S&P 500 fell an average of 5.66%, his bullish calls on average fell by 1.64% and his bearish calls fell by 11.22%.

neverenuff: The data is from seekingalpha. Jim Cramer does change his mind often.
sniper6: Leonard the Monkey should do better over the long run than most people including Jim Cramer, because he is not emotional. I have no data to support the above statement though.
ED: I am indeed in trouble if I only write about Jim Cramer. That's well taken.
Steve: You can do that research and enlighten us. However, it is probably not worth your time if you are a serious investor.
