Why Not? - Cramer's Stop Trading! (9/19/08)

Recap of Jim Cramer's comments on Stop Trading! Friday September 19.

“I’m feeling so bad for the shorts,” said Cramer. “It’s such a shame.” Cramer went on, “Cox has an aversion to the uptick rule. I think it’s because he’s never been on a trading deck.” "I haven't heard anybody say anything good about this plan all day today," Jim Cramer said, referring to the government's plan to bail out the financial industry. "All I've heard is that everything's artificial and it's all bad," said Cramer. "I think the confiscation of Fannie Mae (FNM) was bad. Honestly, I mean, nothing's worked. Why not try this?"

Next we'll roll tanks into Canada to take over the oil sands. This is sickening...ban naked short selling and reinstate the uptick rule...I'm net long, but a free a market place should not allow this intervention. Great day for my portfolio, but a sad one for capitalism.

everyone who had FNM/FRE stocks should be reimbursed, everyone who had LEH stocks should be reimbursed, everyone who has a mortgage loan should be reimbursed... so what's the worry? Cramer got shot in the leg after parading the 'socialist' type bailout and market intervention boosting shortsellers profits? what goes around, comes around...Paulson just intervened again from Central COntrol before the waves could reach his beloved Goldman...
