Natural Gas Will Stay - Cramer's Lightning Round (7/15/08)

As many amatuer or better said non porfessional Investores I watch
CNBC and therefore the Cramer "show".
I would be unfair to say that he has not given me some "good ideas"
However ..... The other day his comments to get rid of the banks in any portfolios where they may still have been must have cost some people a LOT of money in light of todays happening. While i swallow does not make spring....It once again makes us aware that paying to
much Booyah to "Jim" can be dangerous.

Fannie & Freddie: Myth vs. Reality

The disgraceful actions of the Fed and the government with regards to
the literal collapse of the dollar make these discussions silly.
Untill the US does something about it currency all bets are off.
Investments in German Gilts are a much better idea than all of these discussions. The less exposure to our dollar the better.

Fannie & Freddie: Affirmative Action for the Rich and Stupid

I agree, well thought out.
Reality dictates that the government at this time has no choice but to intervene and guarantee the Bonds etc of these organizations. By inuendo they are in no position to do otherwise. If they intervened for Bear Stearns this is a no brainer.

Dividend Stocks: Watch Those Yields

Dividends on the financials are by any standards very high.
If the large banks cut their dividends by any major amount they can expect,and rightly so a further major exodus by the retail public from their shares. While the people who gave us this "crisis" are aware of this they may take the "easy" way out. It took years to get the investing public back into the market.They will be playing with fire.
