It Could Happen - Cramer's Mad Money (9/26/08)

Unfortunately, Jim Cramer's "Mad Money" and Fast Money are part of the problem. Look at the names of the shows "Mad Money" and "Fast Money". They are telling you how to quickly screw the person who's not watching the show. It's a vicious circle. They say "sell" and everyone sells blindly. And if you really pay attention, there are no real timeframes for anything on these shows, so what was bad advice can easily be swept under the carpet by explaining some other aspect of the market.

Look who's on top - Warren Buffett AKA "Slow Money" - as soon as we as a culture ween ourselves off of the idea that making a quick buck by doing absolutely nothing is admirable, we will be in far better shape. I am a young investor, but I will not subscribe to these trendy misinformed shows or this greed. If any of these analysts really want to make a difference, get off your shows, work for the Treasury and put your money where your mouth is.
