The trouble with Shemp is he believes the Fed is not bankrupt and that the credibility of the institution remains intact. This, however, is a serious flaw at the foundation of Cramer's contemporary macro analysis. Though he recognizes credit expansion is a necessary element for cultivating a bull market in stocks, it is the collapse in confidence in the quality of credit and in the credit market's capacity to infinitely expand in a manageable way that he fails to acknowledge. Big mistake. However, I don't imagine it'll be all too terribly a costly one. He may be a macro idiot, but he does know how to trade.
