Jim Cramer openly discusses how "fomenting" is quite lucrative
and lots of fun. There's only one catch, it's highly illegal.
In his own words, "there was just so much money to be made,
frankly you stopped caring about your client."

3. Thanks
I'm creating a shorter version...there might be too much babble to hold the viewers interest so am cutting it down to 3:30 mins. I'll add the link to it when I get it up on YouTube. I was absolutely stunned when I found these clips. How can anyone trust what this man has to say?

4. I like the shorter idea
But I enjoyed this one at this length.

What you might want to do is add in more caption screens that can explain some of the concepts they're referring to.

I got the general gist, and I think more explanation would give me a clearer picture of what is/was going on.

Thanks for posting this.

5. Hi Beli, that's a good suggestion
Edited on Wed Feb-25-09 12:44 AM by Oilwellian
I added more captions in the shorter version and it's looking much better. I'm kicking myself for jumping the gun on this one.
Lesson learned. (Will be posting the short one tomorrow.):hi:

7. sounds like a "confession' to me....but he's also illuminating 'holes'
in the system. This information/direction to "look at" is probaby more important.

11. Thanks...I'm doing the finishing touches on a condensed version
I'm bringing in some professionals who are helping me hone it down and make it more understandable.
This particular video is good raw material but wasn't used in a way for the average guy to understand.
I'll hopefully be posting the new one tomorrow. It's soooooooo much better. :hi:

12. It amazes me there are still chumps out there that take him seriously
He's the most neurotic public figure on the airwaves today. Giving him a megaphone
to manipulate stocks is criminal complicity.

14. "it's blatantly illegal, but when your company is in doubt..."
it's important to do it. He actually says that. He also says it's illegal but you do it anyway because the SEC doesn't understand it.

The incredible thing is that he feels comfortable enough to talk about it on TV. I'd say there's a problem with law enforcement here.
