Career

Goldman Sachs

In 1984, Cramer embarked on his financial career in sales and trading at the esteemed investment bank, Goldman Sachs.

Hedge Fund

In 1987, Cramer’s journey led him to leave Goldman Sachs and establish his own hedge fund, initially known as Cramer & Co., later evolving into Cramer, Berkowitz & Co. This fund operated from the offices of hedge fund manager Michael Steinhardt and attracted significant investments from notable figures like Eliot Spitzer, Steve Brill, and Martin Peretz. Cramer’s adept investment strategies contributed to the fund’s substantial growth.

SmartMoney

Cramer also served as an “editor at large” for SmartMoney magazine, although his practices were questioned when he made a personal gain of $2 million from stock purchases before his recommended articles were published. Nevertheless, he was open about his stock ownership in his articles, which led to debates regarding ethical obligations.

TheStreet

In 1996, Cramer and Peretz co-founded TheStreet, an influential financial news and investment website. The company later changed hands in August 2019 when TheMaven acquired it for $16.5 million.

CNBC

Cramer frequently appeared as a guest commentator on CNBC during the late 1990s. He co-hosted “Kudlow & Cramer” with Larry Kudlow from 2002 to 2005. His popular show, “Mad Money with Jim Cramer,” first aired on CNBC in 2005. The program’s goal is to equip DIY investors with knowledge and tools to enhance their investment capabilities. Cramer abided by a policy that prohibited him from owning stocks discussed on the show.

Other Media Appearances

Jim Cramer’s influence extended beyond CNBC. He hosted a one-hour radio show, “Jim Cramer’s Real Money,” until December 2006, which eventually led to the creation of “Mad Money.” Cramer also made cameo appearances in various television shows and movies, including “Arrested Development,” “Iron Man,” and “Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps.” His media presence ranged from interviews with prominent figures like Dan Rather and Jon Stewart to appearances on popular talk shows and late-night programs.
