Washington Post business columnist Jerry Knight writes in Monday’s newspaper about the differences between two well-known TV business journalists — Jim Cramer and the recently deceased Louis Rukeyser.
Knight wrote this about Rukeyser watchers: “As former ‘Wall Street Week’ guest Jim Grant recalled in the New York Times last week, columnist Russell Baker once described himself as a typical ‘Wall Street Week’ viewer, sitting in a Louis Quinze armchair sipping ‘a calming infusion of brandy.’
He had this to say about the typical Cramer watcher: “The young men who watch Cramer’s daily ‘Mad Money’ on CNBC seem to have slammed a couple of shooters, chased with a calming infusion of Budweiser, before calling in and shouting ‘Booyah!’ — Cramer’s not-so-secret password for getting to ask a question on the air.”
