Cramer's Mad Money - 10 Stocks to Watch (3/23/09)

Obama's plans transcend hedge funds, and include pay reforms which would level the playing field, and may make the gigantic wages of executives at companies like AIG, Citigroup, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac a thing of the past.

This removes the incentive to work hard and to be paid based on performance. Like a sales commission, if you're only on salary, why try to excel.

Not Off the RIMM - Cramer's Lightning Round (9/3/08)

Cramer does not know the Shipping Sector. Neither do show hosts on CNBC. I heard one confuse bulk shipping with containers coming out of China. Either the sector is too small, or they don't have contacts to interview, or they don't have access to shipping analysts in New York. I sometimes wonder what other sectors are great investments but we don't hear about them because Cramer and his cohorts don't follow them.
