Stephen Colbert’s Bears And Balls. Jim Cramer Can Eat It!
Did you see last night’s Colbert Report? Stephen Colbert ran a great segment satirizing financial pundits, and even utilized some Jim Cramer-esque props! If anybody can point me to a video / link of the segment, I’d very much appreciate it. Here were Stephen’s topics as I remembered:
- Real Estate
- Oil & Gas
- The ridiculous anti-trust history of AT&T
- Soy Milk!!!
My favourite part was when he kept hitting the button to get a prediction but getting the reply to “ask again later …”. He finally got a “yes” and his priceless reaction was “There’s no substitute for research”. Get it yet, Cramer fanboys?
Update: I found some nice quotes put up by NoFactZone.net.
- He just runs around like a maniac yanking investment advice out of his portfolio.
- Buy gas, as many 10 gallon containers as you can get.
- You’ll be fine as you don’t smoke, or cook, or invest in flint and steel.
- Cingular is changing its name to AT&T. It is a crushing blow to those of us who have come to love the Cingular trademark. Whatever the hell that is.
- In other words, thanks to America’s anti-trust efforts, America has gone from this [AT&T] to this [at&t].
- u can girl, a chain of stores for the self-empowered female pickler.
- Should I buy stock in Soy milk? [No! Ask again later! Ask Again Later! Ask Again Later! No! Yes!]
If you want to see more quotes from the same episode. It’s here.
Update: I found a segment where Stephen Colbert attempts to explain Cingular / AT&T relationship.
