    Cramer, the TIN Man - Cramer's Lightning Round (5/15/08) [view article]
    Remember the Cramer also screamed "Sell! Sell! Sell!" on First Solar (FSLR) last year when it hit $100/share. Then after FSLR had continued up and hit $200/share, Cramer starting screaming "Buy! Buy! Buy!". That's just one example of how clueless Cramer is.
    Another example is that last year Cramer screamed "Buy!" on China Digital TV (STV) after it had soared up to $55/share. Just earlier this month, Cramer said that STV was "risky" at $19/share.
    There are many more examples of this. Cramer only says to Buy after a stock has already soared up 30%, 40% or more, not before the stock soars.
    Cramer's "strategy" for the clueless investors who listen to his comedy show appears to be to tell his lemming followers to Buy at near the highest stock prices and to Sell at near the lowest price ranges.
    If Cramer would learn to do some real research into the companies behind the stocks, then he wouldn't have to constantly apologize to his lemming followers for being wrong on a company. Cramer's "research" is all about the stock price chart rather than research into the actual companies.
    Sad to see so many inexperienced investors losing money by investing based on Cramer's comedy show. Experienced investors and professional money managers must wince everytime they see Cramer's antics on his comedy show.
    The road to investing success is paved by doing your own indepth research into the actual companies, developing and sticking to a logical and well-organinzed stock-investment strategy, plus developing personal confidence and patience, not by investing based on the antics of a clown like Cramer.

    Pharma's troubles are more about an imbalance between new drug discoveries and expiring patents--and subsequent slow FDA approvals-- than who's in Washington (within reason). Barr had a SAFE morning after Pill they wanted to go over the counter with and the kooky REPUBLICAN FDA slowed it down-- not the Democrats. Reply

    If Hillary care had passed the pharma stocks would have been killed. The only reason they rallied in the 90's was the death of Hillary Care. Only Cramer thinks that the run in pharma would have happened if Hillary care had passed.

    If Obama care passes the pharma stocks get killed. If it doesn't there will be a run

    I agree with fxtrader. Cramer is an entertainer and a poor one at that. He is an extremely poor stock picker and investor. Nonetheless, government intervention does not help anyone but those on the government payrolls. Considering that Rev. Wright is Obama's mentor and hero, that seems to say it all. Reply

    "A CANDIDATE OF CHANGE--A HOLLOWMAN THAT RESEMBLES AMERICA TODAY- OUR SOUL IS BEING STRIPPED OUT OF US AND GIVEN TO THE ARAB FOR THEIR STINKING OIL"

    I hate to respond to "ALL CAPS" people, but 1) Obama is an expert in Constitutional Law. The national disgrace sitting in the White House right now probably can't SPELL "Constitution&quo... 2) Mr. Bush is a Texas Oil man 3) and an unsuccessful one at that. He recent begged pathetically for mercy before the Saudi Dictators and they laughed in his face. They understand that the immediate issue with oil prices is the direct result of Bernacke's irrational hatred of the US dollar (slashing interest rates).     Reply

    well, i couldn't care less what the scam artist and pump 'n dump hedgie cramer says.
    It speaks volumes of investors' education that they still listen to his predictions other than for pure (and poor, btw) entertainment.
    want a real money making recommendation in health care , no matter who wins the presidential election: generics, preferably (from a valuation point of view) Mylan (MYL). They will be the first to gain big time when healt care system starts to switch to less expensive drug alternatives. It has happened in Europe, it will happen in the u.s.. and it will happen in the emrging markets, too. sure, there are also generica prucers emerging - but they will have to build trust and confidence first, over a couple of years. until then people even there would perefer established, global players like teva and mylan     Reply

    bought UNH today $33, it looks bottomed, cheapest, cheaper than WLP. HMOs aren't going away. You think it's going under p/e 9? Reply

    I'm avoiding the entire sector. I'm willing to speculate on supply, demand, interest rates, exchange rates, and even the weather. But politics is just too goddamn random. If you forced me to buy a health care stock, I'd look at a non-US medical device manufacturer. I wouldn't even consider a US company, no matter what it makes or does, and I wouldn't consider a drug manufacturer. Obama, McCain, Clinton, makes no difference. I might as well call up Vegas and bet on black. Reply

    The problem that even Obama is not worried about is the Health Insurance industry. It is complete overhead. Put all the controls on that, or better yet, abolish it and start over. Reply

    After reading the first few comments, I would like to suggest that some of the commentators read book "The Squandering of America" by Robert Kuttner. "Free trade" in theory is unlike "free trade" in practice. Reply

    If you believe that repeal of the gas tax or more government regulation will bring the price of gas down,you need a lesson in economics.Only a decrease in demand or an increase in refining capacity will bring the price down.Refiners have been unwilling to make the capital expenditure due to the time and cost of building a new refinery without a guarantee that demand will remain high.

    Yep... whew! Cramer just escaped with his life on that FMCN sell. You hate to see those fantastic fundmentals, massive potential in an expanding Chinese consumer market, and recently discounted price hanging over your head. Yep, that'll kill you in the stock market every time. Reply
