Cramer's Mad Money - It's the Economy, Obama! (7/8/09)

As usual most of the comments are more to the point than this article.One thing not metioned here is that large corporations are begging for universal health care.Health care costs are the biggest reason for GM's bankruptcy.Every other first world country and some third world countries provide a type of health care insurance for their citizens,but we in The great U.S.of A. are supposed to buy into the premice that health care for our people is socialism,well at least to hear the republicans tell it.

This Government Can't Be Serious

I bought gold back in '04 and'05 when there was some room for profit.Buying gold and silver at these prices seem pointless.Not much upside,especially when the world economies recover people will be dumping metals for equities.I guess there is some hope for metals if inflation picks up,but I wouldn't bank on that.

S&P Still Considers This Market Cheap

Biriny,Lefkovich,Leuthold must all be idiots if one listens to this author.True that the economy is not going to the moon anytime soon,but I hate to remind the author that the market looks forward,not backward.We shall see.

U.S. Market: So Much Stupidity in Such Little Time

Gee,I hate to point this out,but the republicans have held the house from '96 to '06 and the senate for most of that time.They chaired every finance commitee,they held all the key positions in banking,the SEC,etc.To say they are no responsible is to say Clinton never cheated on his wife.Every time Greenspan tried to warn of excesses in lending practices,the Bush administration(includi... the president himself)kept touting the wonders of home ownership.Whether you can afford it or not.Yeah,the Dems should have made more noise before the bubble burst,but I'm sure they were more than happy to have George jr. hang himself.When Jr. took office Clinton left him a surplus of 1 trillion bucks.Within two years,we had deficits.Democrats to blame?maybe...

U.S. Market: So Much Stupidity in Such Little Time

Seems the Bush administration has left us this wonderful legacy.Thank god his regime is over.As usual the country turns to the democrats to try to get them out of yet another hole the republicans have put us in.You would think we would learn.

Demonic Short Sellers

Shorting is a necessary part of the market,but Chanos, Einhorn and others seem to always skirt the issue of naked shorting.It is illegal,but our lame duck SEC does nothing.It no doubt brings down companies.It was made illegal for that reason among others.When a group of hedge funds oficers can get together and throw darts at names on a wall and then go after that company whether there is any problems with that company or not.If you short twice as many shares as are outstanding,it doesn't take a genious to figure that this company is going down.Hurts honest investors,retirees.Nak... shorter are crooks,yet all you hear about is how bad ALD treated Einhorn.Did anyone bring up his naked shorting of ALD?If they lose money on bad bets,we shouldn't shed any tears.
