Jim Cramer: NFL gambling is more respectable than Wall Street.
Tell me about it, Mad Money Cramer! The 2,000 shares that my father gave me in Lehman Brothers went from $67 to $0 in a matter of months.
Caveat emptor ("Buyer beware") is a fine doctrine, but I had no idea that Lehman was taking such risks with my money. Nor did I have any way of knowing. This is (so far this week) the worst bankruptcy in U.S. history, far worse than Enron and 15 times worse than WorldCom.
If I had bet six figures on a Cowboys game, it would have been a safer bet than putting my money in the stock market.
Cramer wonders why everything is melting down and no one is angry.
I'M ANGRY, JIM!

By the way, Jim Cramer is a huge Philadelphia Eagles fan.
Doesn’t make the loss any better. Nothing will.
Everybody got propped up, bought out, etc., except Lehman.
