text: is jim cramer suck? i own this xyz stock before cramer went on mad money at cnbc. he was recommend buy.  now, the stock is crash.  is this guy using the pump and dump scam or what? yes he does.    i suspect a pump and dump too.  there is the concept of a "cramer bounce" of stocks he recommend.  they don't stay up though.  i guess enough people blindly buy what he promotes.
