Watch This...and decide if Cramer is either a Sociopath or Destroying Himself by Truth Telling

[KoKo]

Watching this clip (Hat Tip to DU'er Pices who posted it on another thread) I couldn't imagine why Cramer would go an expose himself and other Hedge Fund Traders on the very site "Street.com" that he co-founded. Either he's a sociopath who sees nothing wrong with what he's done and is continuing to do on his show "Mad Money," or he is suicidal in wanting to expose it to bring himself and the whole corrupt pump and dump system down?

Either way the guy seems to have some deep psychological conflicts and probably shouldn't continue on the air where he can continue to do great harm to himself and others. :eyes:

Any other thoughts?

Here's the Clip:

HuffPo Jumps On The Cramer Bashing Bandwagon

'Tis the season to bring up old Cramer clips. Jon Stewart has been doing it profitably, and now HuffPo jumps on as well, posting an old video from TheStreet.com, in which Cramer explains to Aaron Task how a hedge fund can easily manipulate the market. HuffPo seems to think it's scandalous, since the Mad Money host is talking about how easy it is to throw off other traders and evade detection of the SEC.

But actually it's great that he's talking about it. For one thing, day-traders don't have any right to not get manipulated. The stock market is a game, especially at the trader level. That's why people like it and are obsessed with it. Would it be scandalous if a poker player revealed that he bluffed sometimes and tried to psych his opponents out through chicanery? Duh, no. And to the extent that he thumbs (or thumbed) his nose at the SEC, well, as we know the agency was pretty much asleep at the switch.

Either it should enforce the laws on its books against manipulation or it should take them off, so that nobody is under the impression that they're being protected. Having laws that aren't enforced are the worst of both worlds.

Anyway, Cramer bashing is popular sport, and we've done it ourselves. Maybe you'll agree with HuffPo's take.

7. Isn't it illegal to manipulate the stock market?

Cramer brags about it.

[Oilwellian]

10. Yes, it's called fomenting and is highly illegal

Doesn't seem to phase this bunch of thugs.

[readmoreoften]

8. WOW. Sociopath. But this has got to be able to be used as evidence.

Holy crap.

[H2O Man]

13. Other.

I think that he is someone with an old-fashioned anti-social personality disorder. There is enough information available concerning him to say he appears that way, though there is not enough to say sociopath.

[KoKo]

14. He's so charming , though. I've met some folks with "ASPD" and they are not

charming.. :shrug:

Whatever...there is something very wrong with that man that he would reveal his "secrets" on a site he co-founded to expose what he and Hedge Funds do.

Reminds me in a way of Bush II. He always seemed sociopathic but would reveal the most terrible things in his "mis-speaks" that the press took as blunders and many of us laughed at...but a few pychologists who watched him over the years warned us that he would "blurt out" what he was really thinking and knew but it was disgused in BushSpeak so would fly under the radar to show how sick in his mind he really was.

Cramer's a different piece of work...maybe...or maybe not. Whatever...he should be removed from the public forum he has. He has gone to far, imho. He's harming folks who are so celebrity dazzled they don't get the snake oil he's selling.

[leftofthedial]

15. OF COURSE he's a sociopath.

you didn't need this to know that.
