Cramer's Mad Money - Mutual Fund Monday (5/4/09)

Drini.. lots of doom and gloom. If the markets goes bust you hit it on the head, if not.. well... you lost more. As these stocks climb I protect with tighter stops. To not play this as a trader's market is just crazy. Over 35% in 1/3 of my portfolio and still going? You kidding me? I am still trailing up. If the mutuals are coming to play.. when will the bubble pop? It could go another 20-30%. Still doesn't match my downside but as I see it, taking profit and then coming back in after a 15 to 20% retracement will at least close the gap. I believe we have at least 5% more upside then will consider easing out. Not gonna be a hog. I would like to see it spread through-out the week as opposed to hitting in one day..like by Friday.. I will most likely be out the door or my stops will hit and I will be out sooner.

Bulls Take a Stand - Cramer's Stop Trading! (10/10/08)

Hounds,
We are in a Cramer hating phase.. these lemmings who hate forgot or do not want to admit how or where this drubbing started. Now the blame game starts. Let's drag Cramer all the way down for he is the culprit behind it all. There are people here much smarter than I but by their comments you would not know it.
Speaking of the blame game starting..Cramer did not start this mess. He, like the vast wilderness of folks have lost money in these markets. All you have to do is check his Action Alerts portfolio. If he could move the market as he has been accused of.. why is he losing that much money? Cramer is no dfferent than any of us in that sense. The market does not discriminate.
He is not responsible for the current shape of the financial markets.. hell ,it trickles down to the little guys, the homebuyers. The CEO's got theirs and Cramers gets blamed for the market. Little guy fell for mortgages and even knew they couldn't make that ARM adjustment. Who better than the buyer knew they would not be able to make the payment after the first or second adjustment of the ARM? There had to be some concern. Yet they still bought in under the constant barrage of false promises of the lenders. I guess that was Cramer's fault too. Haters listen up.. Cramer did not get us in this mess. I will cede there were some mistakes along the way like that WB debaucle but that was a facade by WB's CEO touting the solid balance sheets. You haters want to do something productive, ask for the money back from these CEO's that amassed a fortune.
Cramer bought into it like you and I did. He realized the wrong doing and reversed order demanding get out. And that was his fault for being told lies and believeing the company fundies? And that ws his fault for trying to do the right thing after he had a ton of egg on his face.. and he knew it would cost us in the end. You must n ot recall, he owned it. What else was he supposed to do. Go talk to those CEO's and blog that.
