He has been such a successful trader that the SEC has effectively banned him from having a personal trading account. Instead he has a Charitable Trust where he donates the money he makes. As for his performance...the only fair way to determine that would be to have him pick 10-12 stocks quarterly and track their performance. No matter how intelligent someone is they can't possibly remember EVERY stock in the market. Most people call in on the lightning round with completely bogus stocks that are frankly, junk. I'll bet half the people don't even want an opinion, they just want to hear cramer say buy or sell to get the stock to move the following day. Some people are basically trying to manipulate trading. (Cramer buy recs pop in after hours trading) Records might prove me wrong, but I would guess cramer gives MANY more sell recs than buys. When the overall market is rising these sell recommendations go against him. (He has knowingly been doing this even when he has publicly stated how incredibly bullish he was on the overall markets.) Hope these points make you think twice about Cramer - because I believe he is truly a financial genius. -calven -http://www.Chartsetups.com No matter what anyone says I will always have a deep respect for Jim Cramer.

Jim's show is great, but you shouldn't make your stock picks solely off his advice. Especially not the lightning round.<br/><br/>And in my opinion, the lightning round should not count in his performance. His performance should only be based on the stocks he does in-depth segments about (like when the show first starts off). I agree.

If you watch his show to get quick tips to try and make a buck on --you wll lose. If you pay attention to his picks, do the homework and trade/invest wisely, Cramer is a great resource.
