CNBC’s Cramer: “Don’t you dare buy a home now.”

Good morning. We’ll say this about Jim Cramer: a few weeks ago he freaked out on live TV and begged the Fed to wake up and cut rates, and people made fun of him. Then the Fed woke up and cut rates. We consider him one of the most influential financial commentators in America.

So we think it’s newsworthy that he went on the ‘Today’ show this week and said, ‘Don’t you dare buy a home now, you will lose money.’

Naturally, the National Association of Realtors went batty, calling Cramer’s remarks “misleading, inaccurate, and inappropriate.”

If you’re reading this Friday morning, you can see a live rematch/grudge match/smackdown between Cramer and the NAR on the ‘Today’ show at 7:30 a.m.

Help us out: Who are the most influential financial commentators in America? More important: Can anyone explain to us how to watch CNBC videos on a Mac? We’re lost.
