What It's Like To Work With Jim Cramer

James Altucher has an excellent post on his site about 10 things he's learned by working with Jim Cramer.

Altucher first met Cramer when "Mad Money" was first starting on CNBC, despite having worked for TheStreet.com (NASDAQ: TSCM) for years writing articles, and creating and ultimately selling Stockpickr to the company.

I'm not going to reprint what Altucher has already eloquently said, but it is interesting to note that Altucher and Cramer are almost polar opposites in their approach to the same industry. Many would consider both of these men extremely intelligent, yet one shamelessly self promotes, and the other doesn't do it at all.

Altucher takes a look at what has made Cramer so successful in this industry. Sure Jim has his critics, but what pundit doesn't? He's made himself into a brand, but working tirelessly and working more hours than anyone in the industry. 100 hour work weeks are nothing uncommon for Cramer. He has made some bone headed calls, and has taken abuse for some of his picks, but in the end, he provides openness to an industry that has long been known for its opaqueness.

Have you learned anything from Cramer, or for that matter, Altucher in your years of investing/trading following the markets?
