Jim Cramer (b.1955) is an American television personality, financial analyst, and former hedge fund manager known for his energetic yet controversial stock market commentary. Critics argue his predictions can be overly speculative and influenced by market hype rather than sound investment principles.
Born in Wyndmoor, Pennsylvania, he developed an early interest in investing and later attended Harvard College, graduating magna cum laude in government. He earned a Juris Doctor degree from Harvard Law School (1984.)
Cramer began as a journalist before transitioning to finance, working at Goldman Sachs and later founding Cramer Berkowitz. In 1996, he co-founded TheStreet, a financial news website. His media career took off when he became a CNBC contributor, launching Mad Money (2005,) where he provides stock analysis and investment advice.
He has authored several books on investing and financial strategy, including Confessions of a Street Addict (2002,) Jim Cramer’s Real Money: Sane Investing in an Insane World (2005,) Jim Cramer’s Mad Money: Watch TV, Get Rich (2006,) Jim Cramer’s Get Rich Carefully (2013,) and Stay Mad for Life: Get Rich, Stay Rich (Make Your Kids Even Richer) (2007.)
