    Common Size Comparisons: Coke vs. Pepsi [view article]
    Misleading is too kind. Also when comparing beverage co's you have to ascertain whether they've retained bottling operations or have spun then off into controlled but minority owned (non consolidated) subsidiaries as Coke and Pepsi have. Reply

    Common Size Comparisons: Coke vs. Pepsi [view article]
    This article is misleading because Coke is almost a pure beverage company while Pepsi has a large snack food division. There is no analysis as to the effect that those differences have. Reply

    Throw Everything At It - Cramer's Mad Money (10/1/08) [view article]
    i have a better idea than handing out billions of dollars to people that have already proved they can't balance their own checkbooks. let's suppose there are 380 million people in this country and the government gives each and every one a measly one million dollars. instead of giving it to the top teir and letting it "trickle down" let's let it trickle up. this would end a multitude of government assistance programs such as unemployment, child support from deadbeat dads,and welfair to name a few. all the while allowing people to buy the houses they have dreamed about, the retirement trat has been stolen from them etc.etc. etc. this as they spend them money it would "trickle up to bankers, insurance brokers and yes wall street. this plan is not foolproof but it would be cheaper and easier to fix and help those who had nothing to do with the original problem to start with. think of the money the government would save just on public assistance programs alone. just a thought. any other suggestions?

    Sorry.......i was talking about KBR above. I am a supporter of the free market system. But with the mess we are in right now the people that just say let them fail are morons. People will lose the rest of their nest eggs, 401 Ks will evaporate, people will lose their jobs, things we must avoid. I think this bailout plan is horrible but I don't think we have a choice. What I do want is an effective bailout without all the extra crap that I have heard them trying to put into it. This pork has got to stop! If they need more time then its worth it to get the bill right. But the way the democrats and republicans have been its really hard to think they are able to do anything right. But again I don't think we have a choice. Both parties let us down AGAIN.....people need to start taking this stuff more serious. Barney Frank needs to go....Christopher Dodd needs to go......Chris Cox needs to go.......Bush will be gone.....Pelosi is a joke as is Harry Reid.....the Dep of Energy needs to go.....the guy who leads the transportation department needs to go.....not mentioning a whole lot more of the republicans and democrats in the congress and senate that act like they are looking out for us when all they care about is keeping their jobs and the power that goes with it. Until people stand up and start getting rid of these cockroaches these things will continue to happen. The people of this great country will continue to suffer because who is looking out for us?......not many I tell you that. Reply

    I think its a pretty good long term investment. But I would wait just a little bit. I think it has more to fall. Reply

    The rescue-bailout bill has been loaded with pork in the Senate. Now it is up to the House to vote it down and try to let the market operate as it should. This whole thing has been fear mongering by Paulson, the ex-Goldman Sachs executive. Reply

    Also consider the Global ETF version - KXI
    There are lots of great consumer staples companies outside the US as well.

    The Bailout Bill is a joke. Over 100 billion dollars have been added. And these are real dollars, not just guarantees that might not end up being actual expenditures. Cramer has turned into a pimp for Wall Street banks.

    Regional banks are doing business. The big car dealers that are in trouble are the ones that expanded too much. Let them fail.

    Cramer is a good fellow. He always has an edge in the Market.
    Investors need advice now not next week. His advice is as good
    as any in the WSJ. Assuming you only have so much to spend!

    The word Cramer is bad news. Wasn't DOW supposed to hit 15000 last year, ooops, we are under 11,000 10 months later. This is what is wrong with the system, guys like Cramer are still around, babbling. Ultimately, DOW will hit 15,000, may be this year or 10 years from now, and he will be saying told you so. Cramer - Get a real Job... Reply

    Really a little goodie is it not, the dividend stocks are nice, but that hardly makes up the whole market or the economy for that matter. Having a portfolio that includes dividend paying stocks is a good idea, comes under diversification. Wholly unconnected is the clap traddle about mark to market: either we know the value or we don't, if we do not we say so. It is the truth and avoiding it is dishonest. As for your FDIC approval, it is only to help the banks hold on to deposits. But when a bank weakens the depositor who watch price know when its time to leave. You like hiding your head under bushels when the view is not your liking. That is not reasonable or supportable. Reply
