How sustainable is sustainable investing?

If you are a long-term investor, the chances of losing money in sustainable investing are very slim. Out of the 10 years, you would have lost money compared to the S&P500 ONLY if you had started in 2014.

Have you ever wondered if you should listen to stock picks made by Jim Cramer on MadMoney (@jimcramer, @MadMoneyOnCNBC )?

Well, wonder no more! I have analyzed 20,000+ recommendations made by Jim Cramer during the last 5 years.

First, some stats!

@jimcramer has made 21,609 stock picks in the past 5 years! Here is one person, making buy/sell/hold recommendations on more than 2,200+ different stocks across all types of industries.

On average, he was making 20+ picks per episode of his show!

2/12
While we can all argue about his expertise in making such a wide array of recommendations, what I wanted to know was:

1. How accurate were his predictions?

2. Would you have made or lost money if you followed them?

3. Finally, can you beat the market using his picks?

It's about FOMO and gloating over "I told you so"s for every right decision.😏
Avoid the "us vs them" game. 🚫
