Education and early career

In 1977, Cramer received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Harvard College. Cramer served as president and editor-in-chief of The Harvard Crimson while attending Harvard. In addition, Cramer was a National Merit Scholar.

Cramer, a college reporter, made $15,000 a year, and after college, he was an entry-level reporter. Cramer worked for the Tallahassee Democrat in Tallahassee, Florida, where he was one of the first to report the Ted Bundy murders because he was only a few blocks away. Richard Oppel, then-executive editor, said, "Cramer] was like a driving ram." He was an excellent at getting the tale." He later worked with the Los Angeles Herald-Examiner, assisting in the writing of obituaries. He was robbed and he lost everything, causing him to live out of his car for 9 months during this period. Jerry Brown, the governor of California, was also employed by him. Cramer was one of the first journalists to work at American Lawyer.

Cramer obtained a Juris Doctor degree from Harvard Law School in 1984. Cramer first started investing in stock markets while attending law school. He went from trading to paying tuition. Cramer began boosting his fortune by leaving stock picks on his answering machine. Michael Kinsley, a Harvard professor, introduced him to The New Republic's owner Martin Peretz, who asked Cramer to write a book review. Peretz gave Cramer $500,000 to invest after first profiting from the stock picks. Cramer earned $150,000 for Peretz in two years. Cramer served as a research assistant for Alan Dershowitz during his time at Harvard Law School. Even though Cramer said von Bülow was "supplemental guilty," he continued to support Dershowitz's campaign to acquit accused murderer Claus von Bülow.

Career

Cramer began work at Goldman Sachs in 1984, where he spent 1984 to 1984 in sales and trading.

In 1985, Cramer was admitted to the New York State Bar but did not practice. On April 2, 2009, his right to practice law was suspended because he did not renew his license.

Cramer & Co., a Goldman Sachs affiliate, established a hedge fund in 1987 (later Cramer, Berkowitz & Co.). The fund was operated from Michael Steinhardt's office. Eliot Spitzer, a former classmate, and Martin Peretz were among the early investors to invest. Cramer earned $450 million in $5 million increments and was charged 20% of the proceeds generated.

Cramer claims to have sold all of his stocks on Friday before Black Monday (1987). Cramer claims to have had only one year of negative returns from 1988 to 2000, a year when the S&P 500 Index increased by 29 percent. During 1998's disappointing results, major investor withdrawals were made. The fund returned 47 percent in 1999 and 28 percent in 2000, beating the S&P 500 Index by 38 percentage points. Cramer claims to have made a 24% average annual return over the past 14 years, with some "routinely [taken] home $10 million a year and more." However, his findings have been disputed.

Cramer resigned from running the hedge fund in 2001. Jeff Berkowitz, his ex partner, took over the fund.

Cramer was also a "editor at large" for SmartMoney magazine and was accused of unethical conduct after purchasing stocks right before his recommendation article was published.

Cramer and Peretz founded TheStreet.com, a financial news and investment website in 1996. TheMaven purchased the company in August 2019 for $16.5 million.
