Don't Be Fooled, We've Been Here Before

Considering that I've have yet to see a single acurate forecast for 2008, made beforehand, I have no reason to believe that anyone can forecast where the market is going.

Cramer's Stop Trading! China Saves the World (4/29/09)

Wow, talk about grasping at straws. You have to be insane to think that the Chinese are gonna replace American consumer demand.

The Chinese value prudence and thrift as part of their culture. They simply are not going to consume like Americans. Compare the sense of entitlement of the median American woman to that of her Chinese counterpart.

In addition, China lacks the social safety net we have, here. So, they can't use Social Security as a rationalization for not saving.

Ad Supported Satellite Radio Possibilities

Sorry kids, satellite is a dated concept. When it was first introduced, mp3 players weren't the prevalent way to listen to music. Now, we can listen to all the music we want, commercial free, and we can also do our own programming, as opposed to some random programmer ramming his tastes down our throats.

Cramer's Mad Money - The Bear Whisperer (4/24/09)

What successive rallies is Cramer talking about? The market has been completely flat for the month of April. And, he was very recently telling people to buy more on dips. Now, he wants you to take money off the table.

Cramer's Stop Trading! The Bears' Big Bluff (4/17/09)

Can someone point to a link or a clip in which this market clairevoyant, Cramer, predicted the crash?

What Cramer Did Not Tell You About Research in Motion Stock

Did Cramer tell you that gave this stock out in Aug '08 at 120?


Ride the Blackberry Bold Research in Motion (RIMM), Motorola (MOT), Apple (AAPL)

Cramer proclaimed that August will be Research In Motion month, ahead of the launch of its newest product, the Blackberry Bold. “The iPhone isn't the only way to show off to your friends,” joked Cramer, who called Research In Motion a steal at just $119 a share.

Hey, Dougie,

Are you Cramer's twerp nephew, the one who bashes this site?

Cramer was pimping financials in early 2008 and called a bottom in July, as documented on this page. These facts have been documented on this page and many other on the 'net. You don't have to watch his show every night to know this, fanboy.

So, Jim, It Is (Has Been) a Depression After All?

It's not about his stock calls. It's about his cheerleading the market on the way down, calling bottom after bottom until the market actually crashes, then, he goes on national tv and tells people to sell.

He's a duplicitous shill, who wouldn't know the truth if it bit him on the ass.

So, Jim, It Is (Has Been) a Depression After All?

I love how Cramer brags that he got his followers out of the market in October at 10.5k. Of course, he forgets to mention that all the times he got his followers back "in" the market at 14k, 13k, 12K etc.

By the time the market got to 10.5k, all his fans were broke.

Cramer's Stop Trading! This Is One of the Greatest Rallies in History (3/27/09)

Yeah, it's one of the greatest rallies in history. Citibank had never risen 200% in two weeks, before. This must be of great consolation to the mass of investors whose purchase price was in the 35-50 range.

Let's take a look at this rally, shall we? It came on the heels of a massive decline. So, to get in at the bottom, you would've had to catch a falling knife, or, in other words get lucky. More rational investors would've waited for confirmation which came in the low 7k range. The market, today (03-30-09), sits at ~7.5K. So, anyone who did jump in is looking at gains of less than 10%, in this, one of the greatest rallies ever.

Cramer's Mad Money- How to Invest in a Bear Market (11/25/08)

"Cramer says most of the time, it is not a good idea to try to predict a bottom, because it is quite difficult to get it right."

He should know!


"Stocks discussed in the in-depth session of Jim Cramer’s Mad Money TV program, Wednesday, July 30.

“It smells to me like something, in fact many things,” he said, “have at last changed for the better.” “I am indeed sticking my neck out right here, right now,” Cramer continued, “declaring emphatically that I believe the market will not revisit the panicked lows it hit on July 15.” With earnings coming in strong across the board, except in the financial sector, Cramer said the markets may finally be leaving the bears behind. He said the negativity in the market is striking. He cited an investor intelligence survey, which indicated that only 30% of investors are bullish, while 50% are bearish on the markets. "It's always darkest just before the dawn," he said."

Cramer's Lightning Round: Honeywell Is a Winner (11/24/08)

Have you seen the new clip on CNBC in which Cramer says to be wary of people who go on television and call bottoms?

If Barron's had any shame, it would close up shop. First, with their "Dow 15K
