Television Personality, Journalist, Financial Analyst, Former Hedge Fund Manager & Best-Selling Author

Jim Cramer graduated magna cum laude from Harvard College, where he was president of The Harvard Crimson. He worked as a journalist at the Tallahassee Democrat and the Los Angeles Herald Examiner, covering everything from sports to homicide, before moving to New York to help start American Lawyer magazine.

In 2000, Cramer retired from active money management to embrace media full time, including radio and television. Currently, Cramer is a markets commentator for CNBC and TheStreet.com. In addition to his daily writing for TheStreet.com's RealMoney and Action Alerts PLUS, as well as his participation in various video segments on TheStreet.com TV, he serves as host of CNBC's Mad Money television program.

He has been featured on 60 Minutes, Nightly News with Brian Williams, Meet the Press, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Late Night with Conan O'Brien, NBC's Today with Matt Lauer and Meredith Vieira, and MSNBC's Morning Joe.
