Pundit

Categories: Education

Cramer. He's on TV all the time (CNBC), squawking about this stock or that. He likes being quoted as to his stock opinions, but doesn't seem to care that so many of them are...wrong. (And if he were actually good at picking stocks, wouldn't he just quietly do that for a living and make billions? But no...he likes being a pundit, looked to by other self-unaware journalists who look great under soft lighting, as he explains abstruse concepts in layman's terms.)

That's what pundits do. They opine with no culpability for being right or wrong. But their name is attached to a headline. So they're happy.
