    Loss of Integrity - Cramer's Mad Money Recap (9/3/08) [view article]
    hey ray, i disagree with you especially on portfolio two..... they are not diversified as you think...VZ, BAC and ED are highly leveraged companies with their huge payouts and thus have tremendous exposure to rising rates if the dopey fed has anything to say about it.... the unpopular war and imminent troop pull out does not make GD attractive over the next two years....and as for GM...what can i say...the longer wagoner is there, the closer they are to bankruptcy....it's that simple...though not published yet inevitable, GM is third in line behind FNM and FRE for the government hand out.....
    starting from scratch a novice investor should consider the following portfolio...JNJ (or PG), GE (or MMM), MO (or UN), XOM (or SLB) and IBM (or CSCO)....here's two portfolios...the best of the best...and of course...completely diversified!     Reply

    Starting from scratch these might be good portfolios. At least they are diversified! Reply

    Right, the taxpayers get stuck with the bad debt and the banks get only the good parts? This is socialism pure and simple. Write your congressman and senator. If they don't respond appropriately then vote the bums out. Remember this is an election year and don't forget to VOTE! Reply

    Cramer's game (and portfolio approvals) illustrates the danger of overemphasizing diversity at the expense of quality stock selection. Reply

    As a retired Colgate employee who ignored financial advisor's advice and hung on to a lot of company stock , I feel vindicated.
    They are well-positioned globally to grow in all the emerging economies and so far have been able to offset the high commodity prices.     Reply

    A Better Place: Almost everything you said is utter nonsense. If you voted for Bush you are partly responsible for the current Bush Recession. Reply

    Bizonly, thanks for the outlook on fast-food. I don't like the industry for personal reasons but it intrigued me how it would stay steady. Your explanation clears that up. Reply

    Thanks for the question, 174242. I wanted to show the results without and without the worst performer, to eliminate a Single Companies operational issues from throwing off an entire sector's results. The other way that I could have done it was to use many more examples per sector (perhaps as many as 10), but that would have made the article too long. A good example is Wendy's which moved the entire sector down several spots on the chart.

    The results at the bottom DO include the worst performer....

    Cheers

    What is the rationale for removing the worst performer when calculating the results? Reply

    First of all, I am not a Democrat and will not vote for a Democrat.
    I think most investors had a strong feeling that between now and election time, the Republicans would apply extreme pressure anywhere and in anyway they could to boost the market. They are having some success it seems. However, they can do the most in controlling commodity prices. Getting them down as we see happening now. Low and high estimates as needed to influence commodity prices, along with personal pressures applied to those in most control of the targeted commodities. No telling how low we will see some go in the near, but hold on after 2008.     Reply

    I realize that IBM is not in the S&P, but it is a Dow component and near its 5 year high. It has had a great run. Reply
