He checks out on the basic requirements of a hobbyist. He's a risk taker. Every trader is a risk taker. He has a boatload of disposable income, which is required to truly enjoy this hobby. Those things are just basics.

What leads me to think he would have no problem calling up a lady is 1) CNBC is not the most popular station. Sure, there are ladies out there who are aware of him, but the percentage may be low. His "fame" isn't a key issue here. Also, if he doesn't turn himself on to the industry, I'm sure a friend of his will who will gladly refer him to the lady he calls up. Making it able for him to meet without the girl really knowing who he is unless she tunes in. Which his buddy should know in advance if he cares about Cramer's discretion.

2) Not take the risk bc it will blow his career? The worst that will happen is that he will lose his job. The S&P isn't going to drop because of him being exposed. So financially, there's no loss. Would he lose his job though? Have you checked out the broadcaster profiles on CNN lately?  

3) He's a know it all. Mix that with a risk taker that has little to lose and we have someone who feels like he can do whatever he wants if he does it right.

4) Look at all the stress he carries. I bet his load is huge, seriously. A man with passion about his career usually does.

Back to why I invited him over in my response to Little Phil. I can't tell you how much I love guiding a man carrying that much stress and passion about his job down a path of euphoria! The ending explosion may as well be a Gold Star all on my (use your imagination).  Cramer can load off on me any day... He's definitely a jerk. However, being a jerk is a trait that is easy for me to look over as long as it doesn't personally insult me.
