Rick Munarriz of The Motley Fool writes about CNBC “Mad Money” host Jim Cramer and how he finds him both entertaining but frustrating to watch.
“I’ll confess to being entertained — and on occasion enlightened — by the Mad Money star. However, there is nothing I hate more than when Cramer opens up the phones to kick off the Mad Money Lightning Round.
“In rat-a-tat-tat fashion, callers will swap booyahs and holler a ticker symbol Cramer’s way. They’ll get a snappy line or two in response, occasionally with a silly sound effect as an exclamation point.
“It may be entertaining to watch, but it’s the equivalent of nails against a chalkboard to me as an investor. After all, we’re all looking for stock ideas. It’s just not right to boil down due diligence to the ring of a cash register or a charging bull.”
