Barron's vs. Cramer (Yet Another Round)

Cramer is an entertainer with market experience and a good resume: albeit one that can also provide some level of education on the market in general. He's often funny, sometimes over the top, and sometimes too eager to pass off his whiffs with a weak 'mea culpa'. He does occasionally gets things right.

No one should make financial decisions based purely upon what Cramer says, anymore than they should make them on the basis of what ANY talking head says on CNBC, or in Barrons, etc. These media 'experts' should stimulate trading/investing ideas that individuals must further research and understand before deciding to take any positions, short or long.
