How to get on Mad Money with Jim Cramer? I want to ask him something about a stock.
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

General Tips for Jim Cramer:
1. Always mention something about one of his past shows that you liked
2. Plug his book, he always likes to know that you've read his book
3. Compliment him on his tie or something, he likes to be complimented, but do not over do it. If you start saying I liked your tie, your book, your stock pick, etc. he will think you are not serious about it.
4. Tell him you liked one of his previous picks or something he recommended.
5. Watch the show, study the show, and always ask a good and thought provoking question with a story angle.
6. Practice your story angle before you call.
7. Keep it short and to the point as he gets literally hundreds of questions.
8. Ask a question about stocks or industries you believe he has covered in the past or likes to talk about. If you ask a question about a stock that he has no interest in, it's likely he will call you.
9. You've got to be persistent! Don't stop with just one call or email. Keep at him, as one of these times he's destined to pick your call.
10. Never say, "Thank you," and do not sound like you are desperate to get on his show.
11. Wear a good luck charm, or something, as it's the luck of the draw.
Tips to getting on any radio talk show:
1. Listen to the shows, keep up to date with the shows.
2. Keep your angle and your pitch. Do not agree with the hosts position just to agree. Sometimes taking an opposing view point may make the
host interested in your call, but do not challenge the host to say they are wrong or anything.
3. Rehearse what you say before you call in.
4. Just make the call! Remember they usually screen the calls before. Sell your point here, not yourself as it is your point that will be of interest to the show.
5. Be patient. Some shows put you on hold, but keep waiting.
6. Be flexible. If someone has pointed something out before you, add to what they said previously. If it wasn't well received by the host but you still think it is a good point, offer to clarify the position. This can spark great dialogue.
7. Take a deep breath after hanging up, then listen to yourself on the air!
Good luck, Cherman! Hope you get on Mad Money with Jim Cramer!
Leave your name, phone number, and question for Jim. Say something like, "Jim, I really love your book, and I've got a great question for you."
Hope this helps, Cherman!

At what time does Jim Cramer starts? And the Lightening round? How can I follow it live somewhere on the web ( I am not in the US )?
SHOWTIMES: Weeknights 6 & 11p ET
I am not sure what time the lightning round starts. It's usually at the end of the show.
