Let it be known! Anyone daring to impugn on the integrity of Jim Cramer by, for instance, claiming he’s paid to act as a public relations specialist for Goldman Sachs (JC’s former employer) will be booted from the airwaves, and shamed by Erin Burnett.

    who just blasted Cramer!

    Did that Sylvan guy even have a point or did he just go on TV to take shots at Cramer?

    @1 some guy who’s last name is sylvan. hopefully they’ll post the clip.

    Well the man can’t beat S&P even before that pesky “risk adjustment” nonsense. I’ll just keep on buying CROX for my 401K so I can my own million dolla portfolio challenge.

    When you work for the company they own your success, your soul, and never forget those who turn their back on the cult. I am sure Jimbo at some point may want to come back to the Deathstar to feed off of the teat of wealth and destruction.

    His name is Sylvian Raynes from R&R Consulting.

    He apparently has a phd in aeronautical engineering from Princeton and his a huge douche.

    He did, however, have a point that Cramer was mispronouncing abacus as a-back-us.

    Not a huge fan of Cramer, but the Sylvan guy was being a douche. Shoot Cramer down with good debate, not by petty (and shallow) personal attacks.

  19. Posted by Guest | April 16, 2010 at 3:21 PM

    @6 only explanation is he was between Prostie #2 and #3 when Erin got him….or #2 was still under his desk. Do you think he had his black socks on too?

    Sylvian rocked it. Screw Cramer. He is a clown who participates in most TV shows for comic entertainment.

    Sylvian literally tore Cramer instead of sucking up to GS and Cramer.
    Any one who cant digest that can go kiss Cramer’s ass…

    I thought the bigger issue was allowing Cramer to go out live with the bullshit about GS investing in the fund itself. There was probably hundreds of other trades made to more than make up for the 90 million. It was a clear conflict him sellling the point. With all the talent they have why allow 2 ex GS hacks on the air. As usual CNBC is worthless delivering actual news without putting their slant!!!

    CNBC is so stoopid — they could bring in huge ratings during the day if they showed guys telling the truth squaring off with idjits like Creamer. That was probably the best 30 seconds of CNBC for an entire week.

    THE BEST BY FAR ON CNBC! People are tweeting/twitting about it and the video is all over twitter. This guy will only become famous.

    CNBC is so unethical! Erin and Cramer used to be and are still puppets of GS being former employees..In my opinion they should not even talk about GS or be gagged; they should let others.

    For the nth time, that was also the most unethical attitude of Erin Burnett. It’s their turn to be kicked ass.Not fun right Erin and Cramer?

  56. Posted by Kurt Heite | April 17, 2010 at 12:55 AM

    Burnett, Cramer and the rest of CNBC make themselves look like nothing but cheerleaders.

    I do not trust or like any of them except for Faber. If they were all so smart they would have predicted what was going to happen years ago.

    This guy Raines has balls!

  57. Posted by Equivocation | April 17, 2010 at 5:45 AM

    Bravo Sylvian. I love how he calls a spade a spade. I also love everyone who claims he offended Cramer. It is funny how the sell-side wants everybody to talk in a permanently upbeat permabull polished tone. You see, we guys on the buyside, know that when you take the expensive suits aside, you know absolutely nothing about finance (except what you get from insider information and front-running us)

    Cramer insults CEO’s left and right every night, and further sells crap to millions of middle class gullible investors. He desesrves a jail sentence not deference.

    PS: The guys arguing the pronounciation of abacus… only in IBD would anybody ever, ever think that spelling is the key component for this video. (let your analysts sleep a bit, it is not the end of the world if Cash flow is miss-spelled in page 42 of the deck)

  59. Posted by Anonymous | April 17, 2010 at 1:31 PM

    I really don’t understand how everyone is railing on CNBC in this particular instance and saying Raynes killed Cramer. I think Cramer is a useless idiot just as much as the next guy but if I hadn’t read Rayne’s bio I would have thought he had absolutely no idea what was going on. All he said was that things were complicated, he wishes he could say something useful, and then offered some speculation that really didn’t make any sense and at the beginning there I thought he was going to have a stroke while trying to collect his thoughts.

    This guy is a douche.

    Birds of Prey

    Their shadow dims the sunshine of our day,
    As they go lumbering across the sky,
    Squawking in joy of feeling safe on high,
    Beating their heavy wings of owlish gray.
    They scare the singing birds of earth away
    As, greed-impelled, they circle threateningly,
    Watching the toilers with malignant eye,
    From their exclusive haven–birds of prey.
    They swoop down for the spoil in certain might,
    And fasten in our bleeding flesh their claws.
    They beat us to surrender weak with fright,
    And tugging and tearing without let or pause,
    They flap their hideous wings in grim delight,
    And stuff our gory hearts into their maws.

    Cramer did the same stuff GS does. Tout when u want to get out. Doesn’t anyone remember Cramer recommending stocks on cnbc so he could get out of his positions? That is why analysts now need to disclose if they have an invested interest in a recommendation. GS has been doing the same stuff for years. Examples- Resent buy EURUSD rec right before the EUR collapse. How many times did they come out saying oil was going to 200 as they sold into the rally? Anytime the market starts to tank out comes Abbey Joesph Cohen telling everyone the markets going to the moon. I

  65. Posted by MattS | April 17, 2010 at 10:55 PM

    Erin Burnett is surrounded by people who are bad influence to her. Consider that immature and loud Cramer and all talks,conservative Republican Joe Scare-borough (spelling changed) and most likely a coward boyfriend. These are the least descriptions I have of these people, it can be worse.

  66. Posted by whaterrr | April 19, 2010 at 9:57 AM

    @ 64. DITTO!!!! I love the way CNBC rewards criminals by giving them their own show. And why would Erin not want to keep Sylvan on that debate? What a ratings boost that would have been, instead of listening to the CNBC lemmings regurgitate the standard Goldman anal-aperture licking commentary…

  67. Posted by 67 | April 19, 2010 at 10:12 AM

    I want to know who booked Sylvian Raynes on the show; and did they know what he was going to say. If not, Raynes sandbagged them; therefore = douche. Of course, Cramer’s also a douche, so, they’re even.

    If they did know what he was going to say, then, CNBC is sandbagging all of us; so – what’s new there?

    Either way – great TV. Evil clown Cramer getting bashed on his own network = +1000

  70. Posted by Manatthetop | April 21, 2010 at 12:21 PM

    Everyone wants to be the man at the top. But Cramer is wind bag at this point. Syvain was correct in directing comments against CNBC for bringing on pro Goldman guest. And a program director had Erin to pull this guy off ASAP. CNBC is trying to incorrectly give a set of new wings to this fledgling market instead of being more objective and honest.

  73. Posted by Anonymous | April 21, 2010 at 8:13 PM

    Cramer is not a GS PR, he is for CNBC. CNBC is full of non-sense news and similar to Fox when it comes to the content of the actual news. The entire broadcast is a sham and works in favor of Wall Street.

    You all remember a week before Bear Sterns went down, he received a caller asking what he should do with his Bear holdings, Cramer told them they were totally ok and he should not worry… I guess things can change after a week since it went bankrupt.

    Also, CNBC had the CFO of Lehman a month before their collapse.. no other channel gave her airtime but CNBC. They are sick and disgusting people so they have a sick man like Cramer during their half time recommending stocks.. I feel very bad to those new to investing, they have to learn the hard way and get emotional while watching this broadcast.

    for those who have not watched all of Cramers BS, I highly recommend you to search for “The Daily Show” w John Stewart featuring Cramer’s best calls.

    @ 73. My friend called me the moment Cramer said Bear was ok and told me to go short as he shorted 1k shares immidiately, well, I should of listened, he made off 90% gain in the coming week and made a down payment on a new condo. Oh well, Cramer will be calling more shots so I am glad he is still on tv, got my money ready.
