Instead I'd rather learn to analyze my own stock picks. I want to become more familiar with the stock market before investing in <a href="http://www.breastcancerinvesting.com" rel="nofollow">Mentor Capital</a> (MNTR). I am confident the investment is solid, but I'd feel better with more general knowledge about investing in the stock market. I don’t listen to Cramer, I have heard only negative things about him.

Ah well. I have taken some of his stock advice before and it's been a mixed bag. You're right though, he is a lot of fun to watch. I think the problem is that his show is on every night of the week, so just by the law of large numbers, he ends up recommending a lot more stocks than there are actually stocks that do really well. If you focus on only his highest recommendations (like the ones he makes at the beginning of every year), I think he does better.

But I love the idea of tracking any rating system in any field. We have the power now to hold our gurus accountable. Another small point: Whether Cramer can or can't beat the market, he's entertaining to many viewers. I watch occasionally just to see him, not necessarily to follow his advice. Also ... go Terps!

It'll be months before I get any rigorous data out of this. So far I’m up 3% on Jim’s advice after just a day, but then again, the market did exceptionally well today, hitting an all-time high.
