Joan, Did you have a message here? First, Cramer is a jerk, if we listened to and followed his recommendations he would have all our money in his accounts. The best contribution he provides is in keeping us away from those stocks he recommends. Seeking alpha needs insightful, intellectual ideas based on the most current and flexible thought processes of the day.
If your article is going to head the list, at least give us a little inkling of complex imagination or stay home.

Cramer once lived in his car. Cramer then began working at GS where he learned how to manipulate stocks and the markets. I have researched many of his stock picks and have concluded that he is often wrong. I don't think an educated individual as he (he holds a JD from Florida State) would make so many misjudgments accidentally. His striped are still there.
