  wha happened?

  I was surprised when Jim Cramer came in very sheepishly and from the start made it clear there wasn't a fight. He's a financial nerd and well nerds are ferocious in their own little world with other nerds but he was in a direct confrontation and clearly out of his league. I cringed through alot of it and I do thank Jon for backing up a bit.

  Things needed to be said and I think Jim got caught up in it like everyone else did. I did feel bad for him when he said that CEO's and others whom he knew personally bold face lied to him. Jim strikes me as a person that is too trusting and people know it.

  Santelli is a big fat coward and should have been taking some of the heat rather than letting Cramer get the whole load

  If I was Santelli you'd be watching the youtubes on Stewart's show for the next 5 years.

  Actually, I think the problem lies somewhere here

  but what became clear to me is that Stewart really doesn't believe in the idea of a stock market where individuals can go to invest their money and build wealth over the long term.

  The current thinking is more like become a millionaire quick. That is positively impossible for everyone who chooses to play. I'm curious why your posts have focused almost exclusively on bashing Stewart. Not even Cramer, just Stewart.

  That's why you have to be first and aggressive, and kick everyone else out of the way so you can get to the top of the pyramid to grab what you can before it comes crashing down once the people at the bottom realize they're not gonna get theirs. <-- mah money grabbin' face

  Too bad so many people felt that people like Cramer really had their best interests at heart and got rooked in all this mess.

  Yep.

  Anybody, and I mean anybody, who trusts somebody else to manage their money is naive. Sometimes Cramer is spot on. Sometimes he's way off in left field. People need to learn how to read the fine print and to think for themselves. It isn't that difficult to manage money without the so called "experts" telling you how to do it.

  I still say that there is money to be made in a bear market. Especially when you learn how to trust your gut and stop listening to the talking heads.

  Indeed. She is clad in leather armor which represents view that the selfish drive is good. In her right hand is a whip that she uses to keep away all the leeches that would take her capital away that she earned from the labor of her workers. It's a righteous poster.
