Well here ya go:

Jim Cramer openly bragging about how easy it was to manipulate the market when he was a hedge fund manager.

Jim Cramer is a character on TV. I would take his opinion on finance about as seriously as I'd take Saul Goodman's opinion on the practice of law.

Jim Cramer ran a hedge fund from 1987-2001.

A bygone era, my friend. Cramer would get eaten by the sharks today. He knows this, which is why he stays out of the water.
