Cramer critiques Warren Buffett's stock picks

I have to admit that every few weeks I will watch 10 minutes or so of Cramer. But I find him to be a joke. When I trade I want to know my entry point, my exit, what my stops are, my time frame, is it a swing trade, a day trade, an investment, a news trade, earnings trade, long term, 6 months, 1 month, longer then a year, etc. Never do you get all this info from him. Yet successful trades require (at a minimum) this homework. Anything less and you're just following a clown.

Surely you know by now how I feel about anything "Fireball" Cramer says. He will never be in the same league with Warren Buffett and him reviewing Buffett's holdings is a real stretch. I quit listening to Cramer on any level several months ago and I can sum Jim up by my old saying:"allow fools to be fools as long as they are happy".

I watched Jim Cramer for years and now believe him to be nothing but a showman; certainly not a credible businessman. He is simply a big joke.

Agavemail's comments are worthwhile addresssing:
He is right in wanting the information he needs to trade seriously. But he can hardly expect Jim Cramer to do all his homework for him. If one takes away that naive criticism by agavemail, I would say Jim Cramer did a creditable job in comparing his stock picks with Mr. Buffetts.

Apparently agavemail, Billy Martin and Cynthia Aiken have never read Cramer's book Real Money....otherwise they would recognize that Cramer's show is just that a show, like every other show featuring investing, but the man behind the show has credibility few can match.
Buffet is an expert at certain types of investing; he is not the panecea for all investing. Cramer is good at what he does; perhaps as good as Buffet is at what he does.

From a business investing standpoint, Buffett's purchase of JNJ was spot on. It has a ton of Free Cash Flow, it does a great job of increasing its Shareholder Equity, and management is maximizing its invested capital - generating $0.21 a year for each $1 of assets and borrowings.

To top it all off, JNJ is at a 25% discount to its intrinsic value - a discount that will provide Berkshire with a handsome return even if growth slows in the future.

There is a full analysis (from a business perspective) here: http://www.fwallstreet.com/blog/00000004.htm. Buffett doesn't care about tomorrow's stock price, but can reasonably expect to double his money in four or five years with JNJ.

Cramer and Buffett are on opposite sides - Cramer trades stocks, Buffett buys businesses. Anyone who thinks the two are related is nuts.
