Mad Money is an American finance television program hosted by Jim Cramer that began airing on CNBC on March 14, 2005. Its main focus is investment and speculation, particularly in public company stocks.
I have backtested Jim Cramer's Mad Money buy recommendations since the beginning of 2021 to the end of Nov.
Market Stats for the period
For simplicity purpose I was buying whole number of shares within $1,000
Strategy: buy next day (after the show), hold 5 days and sell EOD
