Cramer's Stop Trading! The Caterpillar and Deere of the Banking Sector

Stated in article:
Cramer thinks criticism of Bank of America CEO Ken Lewis is undeserved and believes the chief executive has put the bank in a good position to recover from the economic slowdown. In addition, Bank of America's stock is being bought "hand over fist."

"Isn't that what matters?" said Cramer.

No, Mr. Cramer, it's ethics that matters, which is lacking both under this BOA leadership and also in your assessment of what life and investing are all about. Learn from Suzi Ormann's motto, which doesn't put money as the idol on the altar. She ethical relationships between people first. You "just want to make money." Your show's credo sums up your Achille's heel, Mr. Cramer. That's your hubris and the intrinsic fallibility of your otherwise informed views. However, even brilliant people make bad mistakes. Welcome to the club.

Last Thursday Was the Bottom - It's Time to Get Back in

Right about the facial recognition software, but who knows whose visage got published here, in as much as the moniker is not the true name? Is this the real, eh hum, I mean the new Tacitus, himself? I mean...oh, it's all too confusing...The real identity would have simplified it all.

Last Thursday Was the Bottom - It's Time to Get Back in

Agreed: Reading a "pseudonym," "pen name," or "alias," one can't really evaluate the seriousness of the author when the identity behind the stance isn't presented. The possible hubris of choosing the name Tacitus may be indicative.

Young Jeezy's 'The Recession': I Think We’ve Bottomed Out

Nice article, Terence. The commenters on your article have points worth considering, too.
Sharksm makes a point which harmonizes with Terence, buy and hold quality dividend stocks. Even with DRIP's one can still buy at approximate lows. Let the dividends accru until in retirement. Then have them pay out a living income--or help other retirement payments while the stocks continue growing in value.
Wpdragon's point is valid, too, to avoid the sin stocks. Why profit on someone else's misjudgment? Suzi Ormann's mantra "people first" has much higher moral ground than Cramer's of the "I'm just here to make money" ilk. Lose that opening egotistical mantra to your show, Jim.
By way of a positive suggestion for you Terence, when you've finished writing an article, you should read your it again after a little gestation time and ask yourself what can I weed out, what have I already expressed elsewhere in this article in other words? Your articles will be more readable if shortened.
I think your thoughts are good.
Thanks.
