      Did a monkey type this transcript?

      There are more "[ph]"'s and all together wrong words than I've ever seen in a transcript before.

      Shorting the Homebuilders as Their Stocks Surge
      Everyone thinks they are right. Half of you will be. Congrats.

      None of us knows where the market is going. I just like to get time on my side and average down with a safer index rather than individual stocks that might go to zero.

      If I have a specific view and am confident in it then I will take a specific position in a company. But I don't see any level of analysis here that convinces me that anyone is much more likely to be right than a coin is likely to land on heads.

      Isn't time better spent looking at the value of individual builders rather than guessing at which direction the market is going?

      Uncovering Apple's Missing 2M iPhones
      Why can't people accept that it is unknowable?

      All the numbers in the world can't solve a problem when the numbers are based on estimates that are based on little-to-no information.

      There is a tremendous amount if useless speculation on this point. Consider it unknowable, and uncertainty, and dedicate your time to a problem that can actually be solved.

      After You Buy, It'll Always Go Lower ('The Dick Davis Dividend' Book Excerpt)
      If stocks always go lower when you buy, then you'd always make money if you shorted instead of going long, and buying back once the stock went down (after all, they always go down).

      What a bizarre comment. I see what his point is but his statement that stocks always go lower is absurd.

      Fed Can't Engineer Business Cycles Away
      Nobody is claiming that the Fed is trying to "engineer business cycles away"

      I don't really know what your point is.

      There could be a surprise, or not.

      I feel like I just lost brain cells.

      Doubling Down on Continued Weakness in Real Estate, Financials
      Well done. I disagree but that's why markets exist.

      Apologies for coming across harsh.

      Doubling Down on Continued Weakness in Real Estate, Financials
      "...exasperates the inevitable"

      You mean "exacerbates,&quo... which means to "increase the severity."

      And it's not really "doubling down" that you are advocating here.

      When did you put this trade on? You would have made a shitload if you did it before this week's tumble but somehow I don't think you did.

      Is Smallcap Short-Interest Losing Relevance?
      Sounds like you started with a hypothesis then found supporting evidence, rather than looking for alternative explanations or contradictory evidence.

      Boo-yah! Barron's Shorts Cramer
      You miss the point.

      The calls are screened. I have NEVER heard a pissed-off person call the show. I have never heard anyone call the show who bashed Cramer.

      You are very naive if you don't think the calls are screened. The question becomes to what extent they are screened. And I believe they screen them to make Cramer look better than he is, by getting more people saying "thank you" than "I lost money."
