Makin' (Mad) Money

I've recently been setting my DVR to a new show (since March) on CNBC - Jim Cramer's Mad Money. Since the market bubble burst 5 years ago, like many others, I've been watching less of CNBC than I did when everything was going up every day. In that timeframe, the network didn't help itself much, with what seemed like the boring advice of Suze Orman every day all day.

Well, with Cramer (formerly of the excellent Kudlow and Cramer) and Mad Money, they've got a high energy practical stock picking, commiserating, shouting, and sound effect show. Apparently it's acquired quite a following, including a fan's blog and a bunch of after hours traders that seem to jump on Cramer's picks immediately, if you watch the trade crawl on the bottom of the screen. If you're at all into stock-picking, check it out.
