Mad Money, which airs Monday through Friday at 6 PM and 11 PM EST, has now filmed at 10 business schools since early 2006.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EShow host Jim Cramer is known for his manic hosting style involving sound effects, props, and frequent use of the catchword \u0027booyah!\u0027\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003ESeveral hours before filming began, Cramer engaged management students in a question-and-answer session in which he explained the origins of \u0027booyah.\u0027 He said that prior to Mad Money\u0027s debut in March 2005, he once took a caller on his radio show who expressed gratitude for Cramer\u0027s recommendation of Kmart stock by using the New Orleans colloquialism \u0027boo-yah,\u0027 which refers to making money.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EAfter Cramer transferred into TV, callers remembered the expression and would use it. Exclamatory use of the word has since become synonymous with Cramer\u0027s show.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EDuring taping of the show, Cramer said he frequently hears criticism of his larger-than-life hosting style. \u0022I do some entertaining, and I do some educating,\u0022 he said. \u0022Some people say it\u0027s wrong to do stocks and entertain. I say I\u0027m a showman in the tradition of Jack Benny and Bob Hope.\u0022\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EManagement students enthusiastically supported Cramer\u0027s performance in pep-rally style by wearing Georgia Tech t-shirts and chanting school cheers from the bleachers set up in the courtyard. Georgia Tech mascot Buzz and cheerleaders were on stage to get the crowd pumped.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EMad Money also taped a segment of the show at the World of Coca-Cola museum, where Cramer praised The Coca-Cola Company\u0027s recent performance. \u0022Coke is not only back, it\u0027s also better than ever,\u0022 said Cramer, who interviewed Coca-Cola CFO Gary Fayard.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003ECramer had harsher things to say about other companies students asked about in the \u0027Lightning Round,\u0027 a showcase for the host\u0027s knowledge of stocks. \u0022This show is not making friends,\u0022 Cramer says. It\u0027s all about making money, he stressed.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003ECramer defines \u0027mad money\u0027 as funds available to invest in stocks - not money people would invest in retirement vehicles like 401Ks or IRAs.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EIn another segment of the show, he fielded questions from members of the Georgia Tech Student Foundation Investment Committee. He praised their performance investing endowment funds in recent years. The student-run group has consistently outperformed the S\u0026amp;P 500 Index Fund, distributing earnings to student organizations.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EJonathan Clarke, associate finance professor at Georgia Tech, said he\u0027s a fan of Mad Money because it \u0022gets students interested in finance and investing and that helps bring some excitement to the classroom. Cramer\u0027s very passionate about what he does.\u0022 \u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003ERandy Lambert, a master\u0027s student in quantitative and computational finance (QCF), said he appreciates Cramer\u0027s attitude toward trading. \u0022I don\u0027t think his stock picks are necessarily what\u0027s important,\u0022 says Lambert, whose studies focus on trading. \u0022It\u0027s how he picks them. He\u0027s got a very specific understanding of how the market works and how business works, and that\u0027s what\u0027s really important\u0022.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0022I\u0027m not trading very much yet, but I really enjoy watching his show,\u0022 Lambert adds. \u0022There are all these boring shows on all day, and then Cramer comes on, and he\u0027s so exciting.\u0022\n\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":[{"value":"Georgia Tech\u0027s College of Management played host to Mad Money"}],"field_summary":[{"value":"Cries of \u0027booyah\u0027 echoed through Technology Square October 18 as CNBC\u0027s Mad Money with Jim Cramer filmed in the courtyard of the Georgia Tech College of Management building.","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Georgia Tech highlighted on Mad Money"}],"uid":"27304","created_gmt":"2007-10-19 00:00:00","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 03:01:05","author":"Matthew Nagel","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2007-10-19T00:00:00-04:00","iso_date":"2007-10-19T00:00:00-04:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"71821":{"id":"71821","type":"image","title":"Mad Money at Georgia Tech","body":null,"created":"1449177405","gmt_created":"2015-12-03 21:16:45","changed":"1475894644","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:44:04"},"71822":{"id":"71822","type":"image","title":"Mad Money at Georgia Tech College of Management","body":null,"created":"1449177405","gmt_created":"2015-12-03 21:16:45","changed":"1475894644","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:44:04"}},"media_ids":["71821","71822"],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/id\/15838459\/site\/14081545\/","title":"Mad Money"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.gatech.edu\/gallery\/v\/events\/madmoney\/","title":"Photo Gallery of Mad Money Visit"},{"url":"http:\/\/mgt.gatech.edu\/","title":"Georgia Tech College of Management"}],"groups":[{"id":"1214","name":"News Room"}],"categories":[{"id":"129","name":"Institute and Campus"},{"id":"133","name":"Special Events and Guest Speakers"}],"keywords":[{"id":"2242","name":"CNBC"},{"id":"2008","name":"College of Management"},{"id":"109","name":"Georgia Tech"},{"id":"2241","name":"Mad Money"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EGeorgia Tech Media Relations\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ELaura Diamond\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:laura.diamond@comm.gatech.edu\u0022\u003Elaura.diamond@comm.gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E404-894-6016\u003Cbr \/\u003EJason Maderer\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:maderer@gatech.edu\u0022\u003Emaderer@gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E404-660-2926\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":["matthew.nagel@comm.gatech.edu"],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
