You Know Your Company is Dead or Basically a Pyramid Scheme When Jim Cramer Keeps Promoting Its Stock

posted by Roy Schestowitz on Feb 03, 2026

Did I ever tell you about the smart quantum AI cloud products of IBM?

This was 18 hours ago, an 'article' (seems as shallow as slop, merely relays what "person sez") by Syeda Seirut Javed:

Jim Cramer Says 'IBM's the Rare AI Winner With a Fairly Low Price-to-Earnings Multiple'

Remember that IBM literally pays the mainstream media to recommend itself in "AI".

How much does IBM pay for "puff pieces" or "fluff" about QC?

IBM Showcases New Vision for Quantum. How Nvidia and AMD Fit in the Computing Future.

Posted minutes ago (about the above): "IBM is trying to "milk" the Quantum interest with yet more hype and hot air from it's worthless CEO. If anything, just look at IBM's past successes (or is it failures) with cloud, Security, AI, LINUX and more ? It's a fruitless exercise in waste of money and resources; it achieves little or nothing but more layoffs of US and European resources. Other companies succeed, but IBM just fails miserably."

For those who don't already know (we habitually make fun about this in IRC), Jim Cramer isn't a financial adviser or an expert, neither by trade nor past profession. His commentary is classified as "entertainment" for legal reasons. Jim Cramer is basically a paid shill in TV programs that pretend to give financial advice but are more like corporate advertising. Jim Cramer probably became most famous (or infamous) after he recommended the most notorious companies that collapsed ~18 years ago. Jim Cramer would literally recommend Enron if he was active in those older days (of showbiz slash Wall Street).

That Jim Cramer is the "go-to" person of Red Hat's CEOs (past and present) and IBM's CEO says a lot about their incestuous or financial relationship. The role of Jim Cramer is to sell worthless, toxic assets.

As shown above, Jim Cramer is again shilling IBM. Is this a badge or a sign of legitimacy? Or a giant red flag?

Does Jim Cramer know anything about "Quantum" or does he get paid a grand for each instance his lips move and say/utter that word (or "AI" or "cloud")?
