China Quake Increases Market Uncertainty

Construction companies will see increased business from the earthquake due to the massive amount of reconstruction that will be needed. One such is the Xinyuang Real Estate company (XIN), which specializes in housing and business construction and sales.

Cramer, the TIN Man - Cramer's Lightning Round (5/15/08)

Remember the Cramer also screamed "Sell! Sell! Sell!" on First Solar (FSLR) last year when it hit $100/share. Then after FSLR had continued up and hit $200/share, Cramer starting screaming "Buy! Buy! Buy!". That's just one example of how clueless Cramer is.
Another example is that last year Cramer screamed "Buy!" on China Digital TV (STV) after it had soared up to $55/share. Just earlier this month, Cramer said that STV was "risky" at $19/share.
There are many more examples of this. Cramer only says to Buy after a stock has already soared up 30%, 40% or more, not before the stock soars.
Cramer's "strategy" for the clueless investors who listen to his comedy show appears to be to tell his lemming followers to Buy at near the highest stock prices and to Sell at near the lowest price ranges.
If Cramer would learn to do some real research into the companies behind the stocks, then he wouldn't have to constantly apologize to his lemming followers for being wrong on a company. Cramer's "research" is all about the stock price chart rather than research into the actual companies.
Sad to see so many inexperienced investors losing money by investing based on Cramer's comedy show. Experienced investors and professional money managers must wince everytime they see Cramer's antics on his comedy show.
The road to investing success is paved by doing your own indepth research into the actual companies, developing and sticking to a logical and well-organinzed stock-investment strategy, plus developing personal confidence and patience, not by investing based on the antics of a clown like Cramer.

Deutsche Treat - Cramer's Lightning Round (5/6/08)

Cramer;
While your show is amusing much like other comedy shows, you should really consider doing just a little research into companies before you scream "Buy!" or "Sell!". First I would recommend that you research the definition of what a "telco" company is (it's a telephone company):
education.yahoo.com/re...
2nd, before you recommend any stock, you should do just a tiny bit of research so that you know even the basic fact of what sector or industry a company is in. China Digital (STV) is not a telephone company. Before you say it was a typo, and that you really meant to say "telecom", China Digital (STV) is not a telecom either. (Btw, you recommended AT&T, Verizon, and Deutsche Telekom above, which are actual "telco" and "telecom" companies, although you say "telco" companies are risky). China Digital is in the tech product/software sector: their primary product market is developing and selling conditional-access smartcards and associated set-top boxes, in which market they currently control 52% market share in China. The 2nd market they recently expanded into is development and sales of PC cards which allow PC's to receive, decode, and play HDTV subscription TV channels. They have several other market products in R&D that they will be expanding their business with in the near future. China Digital has consistently exceeding earnings estimates and issued positive forward outlook guidance on every earnings report since the STV IPO, with very high revenue and net income growth year over year and quarter over quarter. Not to mention the strategic partnerships China Digital has formed with Intel, Microsoft, Panasonic, and other leading USA companies. Hardly a company that any investor doing just a little research would call "risky". While your show is entertaining, for serious and successful stock-investing I rely on indepth research into companies, investment planning, confidence, and patience.
