Having been a member of the “financial services” industry, I truly could appreciate where Jon was coming from. I became quite disenchanted with the industry because it was apparent that the industry was “self serving”. Yet I was appalled at the number of “talking heads” who were allowed to invade American’s homes with such “crap”. More significantly, I was appalled that so many Americans were so gullible in believing that guys such as Cramer truly had their best interest at heart. My advice to future investors is to understand the investment environment particularly the government’s role in allowing powerful financial interests to make money off of the backs of average working Americans.

While I enjoy watching Cramer every night, one must remember the show is primarily entertainment. The financial networks exist to promote their advertisers financial and investment products. Who would expect them to warn about the credit bubble or coming Washington national debt collapse which will destroy much of the remaining private wealth in America today or what this will do to the dollar, the stock market, bonds, gold or the real estate market?

China is now worried about their dangerous over investment in US Treasury obligations. Washington ’s long-term choice is either repudiation or monetization. For monetization to be effective, the depreciation in the dollar would have to be substantial and this in turn would dramatically raise prices of imports for American consumers which would mean a tremendous drop in foreign imports. Debt monetization would cause more disruption to exporting nations than selective repudiation of Treasury debt.

The Campaign to Cancel the Washington National Debt By 12/22/2013 Constitutional Amendment is starting now in the U.S. Ron with 30 plus years in the investment business and banking industry.

Stewart v. Cramer was worth waiting up for last night. Jon eviscerated Cramer and he demonstrated it isn’t necessary to be a jack*ss while taking a blowhard apart point by point. Oh, the power of humor, common sense–and timely video clips.

Jon Stewart is not just an insightful and hilarious comedian; he’s a brilliant advocate for everyman.
