I believe that the sec caught him in a financial trading scandal years ago so he was banned by sec to own any stock for life, it was hard to prove so no jail time but the ban ... so he has a family trust for which he can advise. The only ways for him to make money on the stock market is for him to sell his books and his newsletter oh dont forget speaking engagements. Please only use him for entertainment purposes, he is a funny guy back when kudlow and kramer were a team he stole the show, and i agree with him on some of his macro economic postions, but for the most part your picks are better than his, seriously.

Answer:

Cramer is under no such SEC ban.

Since 2004, CNBC policy is that no member of the news staff or management, as well as their spouses and dependents, may own stock or bonds of any individual company. They may, however, own mutual funds or ETFs. Part-time employees (including "CNBC contributors") are covered by restrictions in their contracts. When K&C was on the air, Cramer was considered part-time, but he is now on the staff.
