Cramer's Mad Money - Fatal Assumptions (11/11/08)

Learn to use hyphens, as well as ordinary adverb clauses or phrases, properly placed. I gave up on trying to read this article as I tried to make sense of its opening sentence. Glancing at the rest, I saw, for example, "Cramer thinks all other tanker companies . . . would invest only in Nordic American." Learn to place verb phrases in the same clauses as their subjects; learn parallel structure: Cramer thinks THAT all other tanker companies are risky, SO he would invest only in Nordic American. He added THAT Nordic is levered to tanker prices and not to crude oil prices." Cramer has literacy skills--he writes clear standard English--and literacy skills inspire readers' trust in writers. You should try to acquire that set of skills before publishing your thoughts.
