    Merrill Raises Capital - Fast Money Recap (7/28/08 [view article]
    The best way I've found to make mad money on the market is to wait 3 days after Cramer touts any stock...then short it. He's wrong far more often that he's right. Check out www.yourmoneywatch.com... for proof. Cramer is a showman...nothing more. Like a moron, I actually believed me might be on to something with his claim that SIRI would double after the merger. I figured even if he was only half right, it would be a decent return on investment. Instead, I got my ass handed to me. Then the F'ing jackass acts like he was sour on the deal the whole time. Cramer is a worthless scumbag as far as I'm concerned. I know this debacle isn't his fault...all he did was try to put out the fire with gasoline....still..his hypocrisy is infuriating. The smug bastard scratching lottery cards...I almost threw my JW Blue at the screen.

    I'll hang on to what's left of my meager 25,000 share SIRI position and hope that maybe it will come back to even in a few years. What the hell else can I do? No point selling this crap now. This has been a very expensive lesson. I kill at Texas Hold 'em. I suck at speculation stocks. My speculation money will go to poker from now on. At least I won't have to worry about some jackass dumping $350 million worth of diluted cards into the deck in the middle of the game and ruin my pocket rocket hole cards.

    Hey, at least I admit it when I screw up. And man did I screw up on this company. Maybe I'll feel differently in 6 months...but for now I am so pissed at Cramer for rubbing salt in the wound and at Mel for diluting this sorry stock on merger day that I can hardly gather enough sputum to spit. And for you jackasses that like to rub it in. go F yourselves.

    Yes, I feel better now.     Reply

    Excellent report. I tried to follow Fast Money whenever I could, but the last portion (one next-day trade) was invariably too fast such that I could not catch what was said. So, that alone would make your summary valuable. One suggestion: create a new section head for this entry. I almost missed reading yours because of its being listed under "Cramer's Pick." Reply

    I found this company and they even train the government on these services.. check out their press release send2press.com/newswir...



    This company educates large companies and government on telecom and telephone billing errors and fraud. Their website is really informative too. Check it out at auditelinc.com.

    MER need to raise they managed account fees from 2 percent to 3 percent. Of course, at even 2 percent it is a big ripoff. Reply

    And the $1trillion questions is: who is that mysterious trader?

    Is it possible to agree with both Phil and Mmmark? Taxes should go where the oil is extracted, sounds logical. I don't mind stock buybacks because that money will flow where investments dictate and new energy will continue to be attractive at $100+oil. At the same time, oil companies are good at building large projects. As soon as one of them figures out that it is more profitable to invest in alternate energy generation then others will follow at increasing speed. I think the government can help by the proper carrot and stick tax policy that makes that stampede moment happen sooner.     Reply

    I tell you what BS, since anyone who read the last post where you turned out to be full of it yourself in the plays you claim I missed, why don't you try to explain how the AMZN or BIDU play are down big - I'm dying to see what line of BS you will need to come up with on those week-old butterfly spreads.

    As to AXP, the position was the Jan $45 calls with the Aug $40 calls sold against. It's called a bear call spread and AXP is supposed to go down, that's how we make the money. Perhaps first get a grasp of the basics before criticizing...

    Can One Profit From Poor Customer Service? [view article]
    I was fortunate enough to work for a company that was high on Customer Service, and I carry that philosophy with me still. I agree that it's really lacking, and getting worse.

    Recently I've taken a few trips to Japan and I was blown away at the level of service I received EVERYWHERE...and it's provided because it's their culture (one which we used to have but have fast lost) and people take pride in doing the best job possible. On top of that, it's a 'no tip' society.

    But also I think Consumers share some responsibility because they "reward" shops with the lowest price. Shoppers will tell you before their purchase that they don't care about service, they just want the best price. It's not until after something goes wrong that they expect the service that you would expect, had you not purchased from a deep discounter or a shady, fly by night store. But those stores that sincerely want to provide service find themselves having to cut back to compete with the low price stores that do not provide service - and guess what? They have to cutback somewhere, and eventually service is one of those places (can no longer afford to have a longer return/exchange, can no longer pay for quality employees, etc).

    If people stop supporting stores that provide lousy service, they will either have to start providing better service or go out of business. But that's the catch...most people aren't willing to pay for service anymore, and they show it by supporting the shops with the lowest price, regardless of service (then complain later).

    The way it's headed now, we might reach that point, because I agree that service in America has become almost unbearable at many places, and seems to be getting worse. Hopefully people will get tired enough to stop supporting those shops and business will once again demand excellence from their employees, and back up their services/products as they should.

    Target is Roadkill - Cramer's Stop Trading (7/28/08) [view article]
    today's market slump based on IMF comments about the continued US housing crisis, what is the value added of such comments ?, see Bloomberg
    the IMF since 1998 has had no value added , so we are paying for a bunch of highly paid ( tax -free ) bureaucrats, if they had any value they would not issue comments for the USD 1 trillion housing losses in their divine estimate, but rather it is a lot more challenging intellectually to offer solutions than to write about the past,
    what is the value of the IMF for the USA= zero !
    in a normal company , it is a lot more difficult to create revenues than to cut costs which is finite and easy     Reply
