It Could Happen - Cramer's Mad Money (9/26/08) [view article]
Did Jimbo called the July low the market bottom barely a month ago? See what happened. Now that he is calling Dow to go down to 8000, I feel a lot better about the market. He is the best free contrarian indicator out there. ReplyBuffett's Berkshire: 14 Stocks That Have Gone Up [view article]
agree with a lot users here all those numbers are not up to date and don t correspond to the buying prices.I have a lot of respect for mr Buffett but please do not write false information about his returns. ReplyBuffett's Berkshire: 14 Stocks That Have Gone Up [view article]
What happened to BRKA friday with close at 147, then open Monday at +/- 133? Any thoughts appreciated. Also, I had the misunderstanding that BRK got cheaper after Warren buys "stuff". When does the sale start ? Does Wrigley, Constellation and GS not constitute a spree? ReplyIt Could Happen - Cramer's Mad Money (9/26/08) [view article]
Sounds like daytrader trades on Cramers recs, instead of being entertained and educated by him.. I would never buy stocks as Cramer recs.. That would be obsurd. ReplyBuffett's Berkshire: 14 Stocks That Have Gone Up [view article]
I bought some CNB @ 3.50 and some @ 3.80, still up so far. look for small stocks with a future. ReplyIt Could Happen - Cramer's Mad Money (9/26/08) [view article]
i,as most if not all people,have lost all respect for cramer.he is a whore for the big brokerage houses of wall street.he says he donates all his money to charity.ok,but how much money has he cost people.perfecr example,a couple of years ago,he said nyx would hit $240.that was his pick of the year.then a little later he changed his price target to $200.
the bs goes on&on!
how about the july 15th bottom?now he hust said the dow will drop another 2500 points.wahat a phony bastard!

Oooops... Should be spelled "restaurant."... I don't want to be associated with those who follow Cramer's advice. ReplyIt Could Happen - Cramer's Mad Money (9/26/08) [view article]
Forgot the most important thing...Cramer will lose his job at CNBC and will be found washing dishes at a Chinese restraunt (in China!). Reply

Cramer is an idiot. Who would listen to somebody like that is beyond me. I think he must rely on people who went to public schools in the last decade for an audience.Well everyone... The House of Representatives did the right thing for a change and voted against the Wall Street bail-out bill. Thank God.
So everyone, I guess this means that we are on the other side of the "abyss" and that we will soon be in a "dire situation" as we have been told. I guess this means:
1. Paulson's buddies at Goldman's won't be getting their $10-20 million bonuses this year.
2. Corporate jets have been grounded.
3. Nancy Pelosi had to cancel the appointment she had to get her nails done.
4. Barney Frank is looking at the "help wanted" section since he might need a real job soon.
5. George Bush is in a meeting telling everyone that, "Gee... The American people aren't as stupid as I thought!"
6. We will withdraw from Iraq since we can't afford it.
7. Credit will "freeze-up" and people can only spend what they make or save.
8. Wall Street will take responsibility for their poor judgment.
9. FDIC will be pulling a lot of overtime.
10. CEO's and Wall Street sharks and "analysts" will do some manual labor.
On the other side of the abyss... The world still turns. The sun will rise. We can build a better future...

The article misses the whole point of BRK. They don't look at one month returns. They look at decades of ownership...THAT is the lesson! Replyapple

Unfortunately, Jim Cramer's "Mad Money" and Fast Money are part of the problem. Look at the names of the shows "Mad Money" and "Fast Money". They are telling you how to quickly screw the person who's not watching the show. It's a vicious circle. They say "sell" and everyone sells blindly. And if you really pay attention, there are no real timeframes for anything on these shows, so what was bad advice can easily be swept under the carpet by explaining some other aspect of the market.Look who's on top - Warren Buffett AKA "Slow Money" - as soon as we as a culture ween ourselves off of the idea that making a quick buck by doing absolutely nothing is admirable, we will be in far better shape. I am a young investor, but I will not subscribe to these trendy misinformed shows or this greed. If any of these analysts really want to make a difference, get off your shows, work for the Treasury and put your money where your mouth is. Reply

Very disingenusous to show USG up 10%, when BRK bought their position in the mid to upper $40's ReplyIt Could Happen - Cramer's Mad Money (9/26/08) [view article]
Cramer said:1) "We are truly in dire straits here people,"
(Finally he's said something that's actually so, though his remedy is less desirable.)
2) "failure of Congress to pass the bailout plan is causing the banking system to fall deeper into trouble"
(and this is a bad thing? Seems like the 'banking system' is what caused the problem in the first place. IMHO the best solution would be to scrap the current banking system and start over again from scratch.)
3) He "can’t emphasize enough how important Paulson’s plan is to boost the credit markets – the economy’s fuel – force money back into stocks, bonds and the like, and get economy moving again."
(Here Cramer displays his complete ignorance of all things economic. Building an economy which requires borrowing to function is the heart of the problem and the main reason why our 'banking system' got us to this point initially.)
The best thing to do would be to let them all fail and then pick up the pieces and start again. It would be very painful, but better than the bailout over the long run. Brace yourself for a very long and miserable 'slowdown'.
Spend less, save more, and make an effort to help your neighbor when you can. Our country will get through this at the local level, despite what the moneyed elite do in Washinton.

The BRK-WTM deal is to close in the third quarter I think. Reply
