Jim Cramer, CNBC Mad Money Host
Don't Buy! Don't Buy!
The CNBC star and blow-hard loves to make predictions, and one of his biggest predictions for 2008 was a just a tad off the mark.
He was confident that his former employer, Goldman Sachs (GS), would rise above the credit default and subprime mess to finish 2008 as the only super investment bank left. Guess again.
"Goldman Sachs makes more money than every other brokerage firm in New York combined and finishes the year at $300 a share. Not a prediction -- an inevitability." -- January 2008
