At this point, Cramer has to know about the Inverse Cramer index. Like, he has such a following at this point that he has to know how much he sucks at his job. I think if you followed his advice in most cases, you'd be down something like 45% year-on-year.
I bet he's just constantly being played by people he's socializing with. Like, they feed him bad info in a way that helps them dump or buy up a stock. The inverse cramer index reflects what his social circle is doing.
Why are we assuming he isn't just in on it?
Because he is a moron, and being in on it would still require him to have the right predictions.
Being wrong as consistently as he is by accident is statistically improbable
he's the judas steer for rubes
I think the funniest thing is that both the Cramer and the Inverse Cramer have done really poorly for most of the existence of Inverse Crame, worse than the market at larger. Ignoring him completely is the play, apparently.
I think he is an arm of the oligarchs useful for getting the poor to buy up the stocks that the wealthy are trying to sell off.
No one listening to him is supposed to make a profit, just help the stocks do what is desired using others money.
Someone tested it and Cramer/inverse Cramer are both just about average/a bit below average. The main effect Cramer has is a short-term pump of stocks on his show. This is somehow not market manipulation
