    Sorry Michael. I now saw that your entry was February 8th 2007. The annual return figures are now more relevant to me. Reply

    Michael, you are right. Cramer frequently changes his opinions. But I went back and checked. Seeking Alpha does not have any references to Cramer discussing MPEL between January 25th and February 8th where he would have announced a change in his opinion. Reply

    Peter Lynch: No, it is only one month. Beside, he had a dismal performance on Jan.

    neverenuff: The data is from seekingalpha. Jim Cramer does change his mind often.

    sniper6: Leonard the Monkey should do better over the long run than most people including Jim Cramer, because he is not emotional. I have no data to support the above statement though.

    ED: I am indeed in trouble if I only write about Jim Cramer. That's well taken.

    Steve: You can do that research and enlighten us. However, it is probably not worth your time if you are a serious investor.

    Cramer rarely advocates such a blind "buy and hold for 1 year" strategy. His usual holding period is much less. What does his record look like when measured over just a few months? Reply

    How did Leonard the Monkey make out? Last I checked he had the upper hand on Cramer. Reply

    Are you sure of your facts? I do not have a transcript of the February 8th broadcast but the week of January 25th Cramer was advising viewers to "sell, sell, sell" MPEL. Reply

    It is one month out of 12 in one year. Does this mean that I should only listen to Cramer in February? How about a study on his overall record since the beginning? Reply

    Jim Cramer's 10 Predictions for 2008 [view article]
    Stop bashing on this Cramer guy. It's pointless and not contributing to any direction on how to treat his stock predictions. If my opnion about him helps, I see him as someone who is simply motivated by his fearlessness of the markets. He survived hell when he was working professionally as a hedge fund manager, and now, he lingers around as a quasi semi-retiree because he feels that this is the kind of enjoyment (for him, at least) that he should have had in the first place when he worked on wall street. He also seems to have some kind of obsession with trading, which he readily would admit to. If you read his book "Confessions of a Street Addict", he will formulate to you $ by $ on how he made his millions. He gives you all the trades (generally by sector, or the maket as a whole), the time, and even the payout $$. This guy had a lot of guts (or the stupidity of a dare devil). He would borrow VERY heavily and cash in on big one or two day payoffs. His timing of the market was everything. Plus the fact that he is probably crazy helps him. Reply

    Jim Cramer's 10 Predictions for 2008 [view article]
    I find it amusing that anyone would be tracking the Lightning Round as if it were presumed that it would be anywhere near accurate. Maybe I am missing something, but I thought the whole purpose of the Lighting Round was not to make accurate predictions upon which any sane individual would make an investment, but rather to give off-the-cuff advice within a few seconds, from which one might start to do some basic research. As much as Jim preaches homework, I take the Lightning Round to be pure entertainment and not much more.

    I would suspect that if he had the time to research each Lightning round stock thrown at him as he does other stocks which he has spent time researching, his hit rate would rise considerably. But then, we would actually be researching his real advice, as opposed to his entrertainment, off-the-cuff remarks, wouldn't we. And who knows, maybe we just wouldn't have as much ammunition with which to take pot shots at him, would we...

    I am sure there is ample room for anyone to stand up in public and advise us poor simpletons of better stocks to invest in that Mr. Cramer; instead of taking shots, let's here your choices; then we can take shots at you, instead of simply letting you sit back and sound so wise by denigrating his comments.

    You getting all excited about Cramer's predictions. You might want to check our how his stock picks panned out. I studied the accuracy and one year returns of his Jan 2007 picks. Reply

    I would think that both stocks should trade by year end at roughly a resonable 25x 09 earnings or 160 for AAPL and 600-620 for GOOG - Cramer I am sure has since disavowed his predictions! Reply

    whr profit margins were exaggerated by Brazilian tax credits. The conference call did not mention this. According to Herb Greenburg, the tax credits are about 26%. The stock price does not have this priced in yet. Reply
