David Swensen (and I) on Jim Cramer in ABC news

Posted on: October 5, 2008

In a recent ABC news piece, Dr. David Swensen, manager of $34 billion Yale Endowment had this to say about Jim Cramer:

On ‘Mad Money,’ Cramer promotes a mindless short-term approach to markets by encouraging frenetic trading of individual stocks. Such a high-cost, tax-inefficient strategy almost guarantees failure.

In the same article, my view on Jim Cramer was also mentioned:

Zhuang is no fan of Cramer. Like Swensen and Ehrenberg, he argues against frequent trades and says Cramer may be influencing investors to overreact to financial news.
