A long time ago, Jeremy Siegel was the Guru and in his book The Future for Investors he fretted about how when the baby boomers retire they will pull all their money out of the stock market.

Jim Cramer said the following on Mad Money last Friday, 4 August 2006 (a repeat from 5 July 2005):
Got a prediction for you. If you dont’ have your portfolio set up the right way, if you’re not diversified — crystal ball — I see nothing but devastation in your future. Look, before you even get to the point you have the luxury of making the moves I mention on this show, you’ve got to have the dough. Don’t play with money you need! Don’t play with retirement money! We need discretionary funds to play around.
OK hot shot you got funds ready to go? [Plays horse racing theme.]
Here’s how we build — really start building our portfolio. Remember I’m talking about discretionary funds. So called Mad Money. And I’m talking about investing in stocks. Now of course you need to be more diversified than just holding stocks. This is a stock show.

I have a couple of friends who just bought MP3 players and who are also fans of Bob Brinker. Since he’s always touting the no-brainer investment technique of index fund investing (specifically the Total Stock Market Index), your show makes a lot of sense for them to get hooked up with, too. I’m sure they’ll be registering very soon! Keep up the good work.
Paul,
I really enjoy your show and make an effort to listen to you every week. I must be honest in saying that I have done a poor job advertising your show. I have mentioned it to one fellow worker, but that’s it. I will definitely make a better effort. Nonetheless, I do look at your sponsored links regularly, so hopefully that helps. Good luck with your show and I looked forward to your next one.
Hi, Paul,
Good show again. Nice variety of musical interludes – I tend to favor the less “hard rock” variety, but those have their place too – wake you up if nothing else! .
I’ve mentioned MMM and the podcasts on Investors’ Hub discussion board for Automatic Investment Management. AIM User’s Board Not sure how many have checked it out beyond my posting but hopefully some have and will spread the “good word” further afield across the ‘Net. I look forward to the next show! Take good care.
I have spread the word about the MadMoneyMachine via messenger sessions with friends on the Internet. I send them the link and ask them to check out the downloadable programs or look for it via itunes in the business section.
I just listened to the Cramer podcast on the 10 things to know–I came away with some new information. Trading is not investing. Don’t hold any looser if you are trading. Sell soon after they begin to loose money and look for better prospects. Never buy down when you are trading. When you make a buy write down if it is a trade or an investment. Don’t talk about how much money you have made on a trade if you have not sold it yet to take a profit.
Holy Cow–this is great stuff if you are in the broker business and you make your money on commissions from trading.
Looking forward to your next show.

Hi Paul,
thanks for another good show, albeit slightly lengthy (could I ask you to possibly combine the musical interludes or put them all to the end, would be much appreciated?)
I was one of your early listeners, I remember quite a while ago, I introduced the very concept of podcasting, along with MMM and a couple others to my less web-savvy friends. I’m sure they all gave a listen to MMM, and (hopefully) remained just as religious
Hey Paul
I’m new to the website but have been listening to your podcasts via Itunes on my Ipod at work for about a month now. (I know that was last week’s question but I’ll throw both of my answers in there for you). I have been advertising your show to a few of my friends who are obsessed with Jim Cramer and believe he is a stock-picking God. They now have started to see that there are two sides to every story.
Thanks,
Kevin
I have mentioned your podcast and site to friends who are interested in investing as well as on some of the Yahoo! Finance message boards.
I would like to suggest adding George Fontanills to the Guru Roulette wheel. He is the co-founder of Optionetics (http://www.optionetics.com) and author of numerous books including The Stock Market Course, The Options Course, and The Volatility Course.
Keep up the great work!
Hi Paul,
I have recommended the podcast at my NAIC investment club meeting and just posted info about it in the Morningstar.com ‘Vanguard Diehards’ discussion group. Best regards!
It’s kinda funny that you asked about how we have advertised the MMM podcast now. Just yesterday (I listened to the show today) I posted about podcasts and other user-created media that I subscribe to on my personal blog. I explicitly named MMM as a non-technology podcast that I enjoy. I’d rather not post the link here, since it’s my personal blog, but you can trust me. 🙂
Good show Paul. I have a link on my website for the podcasts that I listen to on a regular basis and you made the short list. Check it out at: http://dovinvestmenttips.tripod.com/
Keep up the good work. One suggestion though. How ’bout some tools in the crib that do not involve retirement calcs. Your best tool to date was the microsoft stock plug in for excel. More like that would be helpfull.
Thank you,
David from Raleigh, N.C.
I advertise MMM by secretely subscribing them to the podcast and then telling them about it later. They ask me how to get it after I tell them about it (usually to Cramer fans) and then I explain that they already get it…get it?
All I have done is tell my friends…
Hey Paul,
Unfortunately, I am not really in a position to promote Mad Money Machine on a large scale, but I have reccomended it to several close family and friends. I also try to click on one of your sponsors whenever I’m on the site. It is one of the few pod casts that I make sure to catch every episode. I also love the music selection. Keep up the great work.
