"He sounds like a cross between Leave It to Beaver and Peter Brady." Are you kidding me? He doesn't sound like either of them and that is a horrible thing to say!
Who he really sound like is Bobcat Goldthwait from the "Police Academy" movies! Except he needs to start grunting and snorting. Then he would make for very entertaining radio.
Either way I enjoy listening to "Jim Cramer's Real Money" show simply for it's entertainment value. I am a poor 30 year old man who has never bought stock & probably never will (have the money to do it) & have sold more Wallstreet Journal's than I have read words printed on them, so I think it's fair to say that Jim Kramer is doing something right if he can get the attention of someone who will never earn anything from his advice.
He may not be providing any financial gain for you, but he often reminds his audience that the business he is in isn't about making friends, "It's about making moneeeeey!" & if that includes making it from you the listener, then so be it.
