25 Big Companies Worth a Look

This isn't the type of market where a "buy and hold" strategy necessary pays off, but it can be if you combine building a core position with a trading strategy. I have build a core position with BUCY at about 13 dollars a share, but have been trading it between 12.50 and 13.50, bring my actually cost basis down to around 8.50 a share.

There are a lot of great companies out there that appear cheap. I used to think that MOS was a steal at 60 dollars. Perceptions change along with the prices.

As long as the market continues to act this way, I think the only way to make money is to buy stocks that you don't mind owning over the long run ---- provided they pay a dividend ---- and trade around the core positions.

Cramer's Lightning Round - We Need a President (2/19/09)

We need a president with a game plan. What happened to the concept of transparency? As long as the details remain murky, the market will continue to flounder.

We need a president that instills confidence, especially after all the botched deals and the scandals. How does one invest in a market that overlooked Madoff and a forty year Ponzi? Until confidence is restored, money is going to move to the sidelines or under the mattress.

We need a president who understands that Wall Street isn't just bankers and brokers. The markets include our kids college funds and retirement accounts. Again, when you see those accounts cut in half after years of saving, it's a bit hard to swallow the stupidity.

Change you can believe in? I'm waiting.

Renewable Energy Reality: We're Dependent on Coal

RTK is using a similar technology right now. Interesting company. Just signed a deal to produce synthetic jet fuel to the US Air Force. It's clean and green, which is a step in the right direction.

Interesting conversation ----- what say we burn another log and toss GUMBY on the fire?
