  • Cramer's Mad Money - A New Cycle (4/20/09) [View article]
    When following Cramer, you have to keep in mind that he is a generalist. He doesn't fully research stocks. And, he uses the information from companies too heavily so he gets caught by executives putting heavy positive spin on their company. Thus, he can get caught off guard by negative changes that he did not foresee.

    So, in my opinion, use Cramer as an additional source of information about a stock. He is very useful in this role. But, do not use his advice as your sole source of information and advise.

    Also, it seems that Cramer's advice is good in an up market but bad in a down market. He'll get you into stocks that are rising faster when all stocks are rising. But, in a bad market, he gets caught by downside surprises.
