    Back Room Deal? - Cramer's Mad Money (10/10/08) [view article]
    All I hear these days is *kill the messenger*

    I take the time to watch Cramer's Mad Money show every day. I gained 83% / yes i said 83% gain / last year on my portfolio mostly due to Cramer's advisory comments and my own research. From what I've learned most Cramer-Critics don't even watch his show. They read what the NegBlogs rant and draw conclusions then repeat the hate. It's an amazing phenomenon.. Cramer seems to be hated enough you would think he's running for some elected government office.

    Chill... listen, think, research, make your own decisions and don't kill the messenger.

    BHN,
    That makes sense. I am beginning to see one or two folks with it in every blog. Common sense is not so common. That is the exact way I saw Cramer's plight as well. His direction was not unclear but it is getting spun that way. I read an article earlier that was screaming for Cramer's head. There was blood in the water and eyes were rolling back into that protective sheath ,4 rows of teeth showing. Cramer was chum.
    He is some of the smartest chum I have ever seen when commenting on the markets. I listened and I am better off for it. Obviously many here are not. Are they pissed because they got smacked down and lost money? They could have done their homework. I did it and I will make it though, not unscathed, but I will survive this market.
    Holding Cramer's fingers to the fire over this is like blaming Remington, Springfield or Guarrand for the guns made during the reign of Hitler. I am using a gun analogy.. not a manufacturer's analogy of them so do not ridicule my lack of exact name brand guns of that era.
    I will say it again, go after the CEO's of these big companies that made so many millions. Leave Cramer to do his bidding and help the little guy.

    Crazy P/E Ratios [view article]
    "The data covers 1871 - 2008, and shows that as of 10/7/2008, the S&P 500 PE is ~16"

    Where do you get the data for the P/E for the SP500? I just calculated the P/E of SPY (based on NAV) which tracks the SP500 and as of Friday's close = 10.45. Of course this is trailing P/E, so even if earnings for the 500 stocks correct downward next year I just don't see much downside left. Shorting SPY seems like more like buying CSCO or something at the top of the dotcom bubble.

    Investing is dynamic. Facts change. Cramer informs us of what's going on. He warned us all about the mistakes that were being made by the fed last year and he was right. He's warning us now about continuing to invest in this insane market. He's telling us to get out if we can't take the heat. If we stay in, then be cautious. His approach is quite sane. Cramer's no clown. Reply

    Good article, but a small correction in your table. Come next week, Morgan Stanley might have a PE of zero: Price=0/ Earnings=Some number => 0 Reply

    Why should Goldman Sachs be given a free ride at taxpayer expense. The cronyism and backroom dealing is unbelievable. Taxpayers are getting ripped off. These bozos couldn't see the problem coming and now we're expected to believe they can solve the crisis. No, you all need to be exposed and put out to pasture. Reply

    But if people are listening to his advice, then PLEASE make sure they also have in place an Exit Strategy approach for their investments. One that is unbiased, intelligent and continually adjusting itself to the stock's behavior and market conditions. Don't just follow Jim blindly. Reply

    Hey Jim , whos gonna pay for this behind the scenes deal? Have the taxpayers not been bled enough? First the 401k and pensions were stolen away and then 2 trilion + in bailouts and now give em more money ?
    Ya gotta be kidding me .. Give every american 1 million dollars and let the AIG's and banks mark to market their bullshit ponzi based synthetic positons and let em go bankrupt. How about supporting our currency while you are at it.

    Cramer tells everyone to sell the farm, then two days later is saying to get back in again. 25%, yada yada, whatever. Bottom line is he's a clown. And usually a very good contrarian indicator.

    Question: Why does this joke of an 'expert' get so much publicity on SA? Did you see the most recent Fox Business commercial exploiting his ridiculousness?

    NUCOR is a diversified company. The stock may have not hit it's final low yet. But this I know, buy now, buy soon. NUCOR will rise again. They are a rock solid company. Everyone still needs the Steel. The demand will rise again, as will this stock.

    Crazy P/E Ratios [view article]
    GKM doesn't seem to know what he really meant. low PEs become so because the E is based on expected earnings for next year are assumed to be higher therefore PE seems low at current prices . But what happens is that by end of next year the E will go down because of recession and companies collectively will make much less E than was forcasted at this time so if E goes down by 25 % then your forcasted PE of 12 suddenly becomes 16 Reply

    The market "may have priced in" anticipated 2009 earnings, but based on long term PE's, we're still in a bubble. see

    The stock market correction is a reality check for those stocks commanded high price but no real growth.

    Every so often the market corrected to re-evaluate the valuation of each stock.

    As the market start to recover, some will recover 50%, some will recover 100% and some will recover 1000% depending on future growth potential.

    Not all stocks will recover equally, now it's the time to look for the next growth leader of each sector...it's always a stock-picking game after each correction.

    My pick for the next winner: Thermogenesis(KOOL), I think it's the early CSCO of stem cell therapy/regenerative medicine.
