Funny Man Jon Stewart Shorts Jim Cramer

Funny man, Jon Stewart shorts Financial Guru, Jim Cramer. Stewart pulled no punches and claims that Jim Cramer along with a bunch of other morons was giving the whole country bad advice for stock investing this last year. Yup, Jon Stewart claims that Jim Cramer doesn't have a financial crystal ball after all.

Now, if you aren't familiar with Jim Cramer, he is loud and obnoxious and claims to be your friend. Hmmm, sounds like the familiar era of the "snake oil" salesman. Even though he has wild mannerisms and you know he is obviously full of it, you can't help but like him if you are the type that likes to try to time the stock market. He definitely brings some excitement to "bland TV", for that reason alone, I think Jon Stewart should lay off. (nah, not really, I like the comedy better)

So what is this feud about? Jon boy said "the "mad man" Cramer and the financial industry was guilty of the sin of omission." (I guess that is like when a guy tells his girlfriend he is sterile because his last girlfriend didn't get pregnant the one time they had unprotected sex. ) We aren't hearing the total truth from these gurus, are we?

At the end of their recent meeting, the two kissed and made up. They agreed that the financial industry needs to be put through public scrutiny by the so-called press. So now Cramer can go back to comedy and Stewart can go back to financial reporting or is it the other way around?
