Jim Cramer is an entertainer. That's not to say he doesn't know a lot about the market, but it's important to realize that to make money in the market, you have to know something that most people don't. Plenty of people blindly purchase whatever stocks Cramer recommends, and smarter people make a lot of money shorting those stocks for a couple weeks following the recommendation.
I believe there is value to watching Mad Money. You can learn a few things about investing while being entertained in the process. But it might not be wise to let it be your only guide to investing.
