Cramer, what happened to Google $850, or the Google $1000 that you actually valued it at but were being conservative with $850? Internet advertising has slowed a touch, so google is now valued nearly 50% less than your price target only 4 months ago? Wow

disclosure: no position.

Cramer has many bad calls, e.g., ARNA, CWTR, CROX, GOOG, ...
RIG is good, but many other drilling stocks look good too, e.g., DO and NE. You can learn by watching his shows, and his recopmmendations are good to follow if wait and buy them at 70-80% of the price from the day oc Cramer's recommendation.

Cramer's calls are WORTHLESS!!
A day late and many dollars short he is.
Buy in after a double, and short after 50% decline. That's just great advice. Jump out a window...jerk.
