Jim Cramer's Engine of Success: A Day in the Life of the Stock Market Guru

Jim Cramer, known as the charismatic host of the show 'Mad Money,' provided insight into his tightly scheduled daily routine during Bloomberg's 'Odd Lots' podcast. Cramer, famous for his enthusiastic analyses and bold stock recommendations, starts his day at 3:15 a.m. With a usual bedtime of 11 p.m., he allows himself only four hours of sleep per night. The first 45 minutes of his day are strictly planned to begin his workout promptly at 4 a.m. Beforehand, he thoroughly examines the current market situation by scouring prestigious publications such as the Financial Times, Bloomberg, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and CNBC. Cramer's inbox is filled to the brim: daily, he analyzes about 700 emails in search of relevant information and intriguing stories for his newsletter 'CNBC's Investing Club,' which he describes as a central guide. Throughout the morning, he appears on CNBC's 'Squawk on the Street' and works on his main show, 'Mad Money.' The rest of the day is also spent studying company news and quarterly reports. At 5:45 p.m., Cramer's recording of 'Mad Money' concludes before he finally goes out to dinner at 10 p.m. The evening 'good night' to his wife takes place around 11 p.m. Cramer emphasized that his demanding work routine does have an impact on his married life; however, it is necessary to keep up with the dynamic stock market. Even in 2015, Cramer followed a similar routine, which included early rising and the use of social media.
