Market manipulation
In March 2007, a December 2006 interview from TheStreet.com's "Wall Street
Confidential" webcast stirred controversy after it appeared on YouTube.com.[
25] In the video, Cramer described activities used by hedge fund managers to
manipulate stock prices – some of debatable legality and others illegal.
He described how he could push stocks higher or lower with as little as $5
million in capital when he was running his hedge fund. Cramer said, "A lot
of times when I was short at my hedge fund...When I was positioned short—
meaning I needed it down—I would create a level of activity beforehand that
could drive the futures." He also encouraged hedge funds to engage in this
type of activity because it is "a very quick way to make money".[26]
Cramer stated that everything he did was legal, but that illegal activity is
common in the hedge fund industry as well.
He also stated that some hedge fund managers spread false rumors to drive a
stock down: "What's important when you are in that hedge-fund mode is to not
do anything remotely truthful because the truth is so against your view,
that it's important to create a new truth, to develop a fiction."[26] Cramer
described a variety of tactics that hedge fund managers use to affect a
stock's price.
Cramer said that one strategy to keep a stock price down is to spread false
rumors to reporters he described as "the Pisanis of the world". The comment
was a reference to CNBC correspondent Bob Pisani, who reports from the
trading floor of the New York Stock Exchange. "You have to use these guys,"
said Cramer.
He also discussed giving information to "the bozo reporter from The Wall
Street Journal" to get an article published.[27][28] Cramer said this
practice, although illegal, is easy to do "because the SEC doesn't
understand it."[29] During the interview Cramer referred to himself as a "
banking class hero."[30]
