Woah, absent-minded professor moment. Untenured just took the express train to flakesville. Toot toot.
I watch Cramer. I can't tell if the guy is giving us real analysis or belching out what the corps want him to or analyst PR.
If he can deliver real content while being interesting at the same time, all the better!

Back in the summer of '05, I was carrying on about a job I wanted in the Leaving Academe section of the fora. The job was actually with Cramer as the show's writer.
I had written him all these emails trying to get his attention, and evidently I did because they called me in for an interview. I went through 3 interviews with flying colors and then got to Cramer and his producer-at-that-time, who obviously didn't want any other women around. I didn't get the job, but the thing that pissed me off the most was that Cramer used every single idea I had from my emails.
Anyway, probably just as well. He really is manic depressive. Sits in his office all day depressed and then is manic on the show, but I heard also very hard to work with--as we types often are.
He has a research staff there, though. He doesn't do all the research himself, and sometimes he comes up with his ideas the day of the show. That said, I think he knows a lot about the fundamentals of trading stocks. Also, he introduces people to stocks they may not know about. His stock of the year, ATI, really was a blockbuster.
