Mad Money Drives Jim Cramer Crazy
I'll be totally honest and admit that I'm not exactly a financial expert. In fact, half of the things Jim Cramer shouts during this clip from Mad Money make absolutely no sense to me. But after shouting out most of his frustration (and taking the rest out on the surface of his podium), Cramer eventually settles down a little, admitting: "Sometimes I wish I didn't know anybody so I could say just go buy some Washington Mutual and take that yield. Unfortunately, I know too many people and I'm too darn old."
And despite the fact that we don't speak the same language, I feel an odd sympathy for the man. It must be rough, knowing so much and yet never being understood properly -- my heart aches for him and his Cassandra-like understanding of the world. At the same time, never have I been more grateful for my inability to understand economics. For if this is what knowing words like "annuity" does to you, then my own financial ignorance may truly be bliss.
