  • The Bull Run Begins This Week [View article]
    WOW! THE MOST COMMENTS I HAVE SEEN IN A WHILE ON AN ARTICLE! GOOD FOR YOU!
    I HOPE YOU ARE RIGHT AND SO DO INVESTORS!
    However, I disagree and everyone has their own opinions. Personally, when many stocks that make up the Dow are in a DOWNTREND MODE right now, according to INO TREND.COM, and most 1st quarter earnings reports will be lower than expected, I do not see the Light that you see in the Tunnel of Wall Street.
    1)New President can't wave a wand like a magician.
    2) Unemployment still headed to 10%
    3) Foreclosures to double then in 2009
    3) Mom & Pop Stores, and even Shopping Malls are closing down around the Country
    4)Amidst the biggest Robbery in the History of the World-Wall Street-Washngton, SCAMS,the Credit Crisis, and a spending spree nearing a Trillion dollars of bailouts, and continued Bank Failures
    5) Unrest in the Middle East is Far from over
    Therefore, my 5 reasons, do not set the stage for a Bull Market as you have painted, rather more of a reality check for potentially testing New Lows from last November are more in order first, before you can walk through the
    "LAND MINED FIELDS OF BASIC ECONOMICS"
    Hasn't Americans lost enough money these past
    3 months to learn that we are on Unstable Grounds
    right now and we should step back for awhile?

  • Preview from Europe: Fear Trumps Hope as Dow Falls Below 8,000 [View article]
    Jan.21st. DOW 7949
    JIMMY T VS. CRAMER
    Author: Jimmy T
    Date Posted: 7:42 AM ET on Wednesday, January 21, 2009 PREDICTWALLSTREET

    JAN.6TH ARTICLE-FOUR PART BY JIM CRAMER-"BULL MARKET" ON THE DOW! THEN THE DOW WAS OVER 9,100 AND I TOTALLY DISAGREED AND POSTED SUCH ON HIS SITE.*TODAY THE DOW IS AT 7,949 PROVING MY THEORY & PROBABILITY WAS MORE REALISTIC, AS A NOVICE INVESTOR/RESEARCHER, THAN MR. CRAMER.
    THE BIG DIFFERENCE IS, HE IS FAMOUS, AND HAS A T.V. SHOW, BUT BECAUSE OF THAT, PEOPLE IN GENERAL, ARE INFLUENCED BY HIM WHEN MAKING INVESTMENT DECISIONS.*SOMETIMES POWER GOES TO ONES HEAD, AND EVEN WITH AN "ALL STAR" TEAM BEHIND HIM, I HAVE PROVEN THAT HE CAN MAKE MISTAKES LIKE ANY OTHER HUMAN BEING. SO HOW CAN A NOVICE INVESTOR LIKE MYSELF BE RIGHT AND MR. CRAMER TOTALLY WRONG? SIMPLE! I STATED JAN.6TH THAT THE DOW IS TOO VOLATILE, UNSTABLE, AND MORE LIKELY WILL TEST NEW LOWS FROM LAST NOVEMBER 2008 BEFORE IT BEGINS A NEW BULL MARKET. IT IS SO LOGICAL TO ME WITH CONTINUED BANK FAILURE ANNOUNCEMENTS, CONTINUED SCAMS ON WALL STREET, A WASHINGTON SPENDING SPREE LIKE A DRUNKEN SAILOR ON LEAVE, A NEW PRESIDENT WHO ADVOCATES MORE SPENDING AND SPENDING THE MOST MONEY IN HISTORY ON AN INAUGURAL THAN ANY OTHER PRESIDENT WHILE WE ARE IN A CREDIT CRISIS, UNEMPLOYMENT HEADING TO 10%, AND FORECLOSURES LIKELY TO DOUBLE IN 2009.****IF EARNING REPORTS ARE NOT GOING TO BE GOOD ESPECIALLY THIS FIRST QUARTER, HOW IN THE WORLD CAN JIM CRAMER CALL FOR A BULL MARKET ON THE DOW AT THIS TIME, ON TOP OF EVERYTHING ELSE?

    Keywords: BE INFLUENCED BY LOGIC RATHER THAN T.V. PERSONALITIES!

  • Jim Cramer's Mad Money Lightning Round Picks, 8/16/07 [View article]
    Feb.25,2008 My reply post to Cramer's article 8/18/07 has come to fruition. Today the stock is $2.02 vs Aug.16th close of $14.53.
    BIG DIFFERENCE! BIG HYPE! BIG TOUT!
    RESEARCH FIRMS ARE JUST AS GUILTY TOO.
    JUST RECENTLY FRIEDMAN,BILLINGS,RAMS... GROUP
    FINALLY DROPPED COVERAGE AND THEIR ANALYST ROBERT UHL IS GONE. BUT THE OTHER REMAINING RESEARCH FIRMS STILL HAVE NOT UPDATED THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS OR THEIR RIDICULOUS TARGET PRICES AS OF 02/025/08. WHY?
    INVESTORS ARE STILL BEING MISLEAD AND NSTK CONTINUES TO MAKE NEW LOWS!

  • Cramer's 'Four Horsemen' Crumble [View article]
    1/24/08 YOU HAD YOUR CHANCE WITH APPLE
    In this article published today but not on seeking alpha as of yet by JIM CRAMER, states "don't buy it now!"
    I disagree with his statement about apple strongly.
    This is a further buying opportunity if ever there was one. Personally it seems to result in the opposite lately of what JIM CRAMER RECOMMENDS.
    Sales are growing and China will be a plus for apple. Jim Cramer is only human and can make mistakes which have been quite evident all throughout 2007 and until present. Even the well respected Rick Santelli of cnbc put Cramer in his place 48 hours ago on national television.
    Cramer was calling a bull market for six months when it was becoming a bear market right under his nose. When you can't depend on research firms any longer including their ridiculous targets of stock prices coupled with misinformation from a national T.V. personality, one must do their own due diligence to survive.

  • Jim Cramer's Mad Money In-Depth, 1/2/08: A Look Back, A Look Ahead [View article]
    I do hope Cramer has a very successful year with his stock picks. Millions of viewer's purchase shares that he suggests without any knowledge of the stock market. Although he states do your homework, and review the stock often, investors in general are lazy. This is their fault not Jim's, yet
    the finger pointing is inevitable because he is on stage not them. He accepted the position and must
    remember, that all eyes are upon him. However, I
    believe as he stated, that "you must learn from the past", that himself should slow down a bit and be a little more cautiously optimistic about his statements regarding his stock selections.
    Otherwise the factor of health becomes an issue
    and can lead to unnecessary stress which can take it's toll on anyone.
    So Good luck and have a bull year Jim
    P.S. Maybe you should have a panel of experts on your show, like Fast Money.

  • Jim Cramer's Mad Money In-Depth, 12/22/07: (Soon-to-be) High Five [View article]
    SA EDITOR
    MIRIAM METZINGER
    Merry Christmas & Healthy New Year to you!
    It is your job to write a summary of Jim Cramer even though Seeking Alpha is not affiliated with Jim Cramer, CNBC, or The Street .com.
    Having said that, I have made a New years resolution a week earlier.
    I am going to keep a list of all the stocks mentioned by Jim Cramer for the next 12 months. I then will publish either the percent of appreciation or depreciation for all to see.
    There have been some good calls by Jim Cramer for 2007 and many bad ones as well. In fact, the phrase Jim Cramer has stated the most for 2007 is"I MADE A MISTAKE" referring to his stock picks. You see the reason I make mention of this is, many novice investors get caught in
    the Hype/Touting being over done on his show, and when it hits the pocket of these investors is when someone has to start taking a stand.
    The well experienced followers of Mr.Cramer, make money immediately after a Tout and then probably shorting the stock down the road, to make money once again. This seems to be the pattern of 2007 in my observation and in my opinion. There have been some similar articles recently written pointing out the same.
    In conclusion, it would be refreshing Miriam Metzinger of Seeking Alpha, that aside from writing a summary of what 'the gospel is of Jim Cramer nightly', that constructive criticism be apart of your report to the millions of readers of SEEKING ALPHA. Just because Jim has had success, is part of a nightly T.V. show, doesn't mean he is perfect or that he is excluded from influencing through his stature, individuals, funds or groups from finding a 'BULL' Market on a individual stock
    for profit and is untouchable from a prospective of the law!
    POWER HAS A STRANGE WAY OF UNSEATING AN INDIVIDUAL FROM HIS THROWN. HISTORY HAS PROVEN THAT MANY TIMES. FROM PRESIDENT'S TO PREACHER'S, SO DON'T BE SURPRISED OF THE EVENTS THAT MAY UNFOLD!

  • Jim Cramer's Mad Money Lightning Round 10/2/07: Bucyrus Comes Back [View article]
    10/24 OCT.3RD JIM CRAMER SAY I WANT YOU IN NSTK NOT ISIS! NSTK HAS BECOME A WHITE ELEPHANT FOR HIM AFTER 36 TOUTS AND HE LOOKS EVEN MORE FOOLISH DOWNGRADING ISIS BECAUSE IT HAS CONTINUED TO PERFORM BETTER THAN NSTK TO DATE, AND WILL HAVE BETTER EARNINGS THAN NSTK ON NOV.8TH AND LASTLY WILL MORE THAN LIKELY HAVE A SPECTACULAR DRUG APPROVED BY THE FDA BY 3RD WEEK OF NOVEMBER.
    NSTK WILL CONTINUE TO GO DOWN BECAUSE THE YEAR END EARNINGS REPORT IS WORST OF ALL COME MARCH 2008! GIVE IT UP CRAMER, STOP BEATING THE NSTK DRUMS!

  • Jim Cramer's Mad Money Lightning Round 10/2/07: Bucyrus Comes Back [View article]
    10/08 Cramer is beginning to look real foolish pumping & touting nstk. Recently he said"I want you in nstk not isis. Since then Isis has made headline 3 times, including RNAI write up, Zack's recommendation as a buy by senior analysts, and today ahead of the bell article. However no news on nstk in the same time frame. I think Cramer is starting to look real foolish with all the Touts on nstk nationally!

    10/04 WHY DOESN'T SEEKING ALPHA HAVE JIM CRAMER'S LIGHTNING ROUND FROM 9/26 WHEN HE STATED "DON'T BUY"
    "I LIKE IT AT $12 DOLLARS"?
    Between over hype and unpublished items, an investor is totally mislead to a degree. We need fair balance and that calls for someone like Michael Shulman from Biotech Blitz. Read his articles about RNAI.

  • Jim Cramer's Mad Money Lightning Round 10/2/07: Bucyrus Comes Back [View article]
    10/4 In all fairness lets reflect for a minute. From March 2007 until September 25 Cramer has touted NSTK 32 times already.
    On 9/26 the day after his buy recommendation video he stated on the lightning round Don't Buy wait until $12 dollars I like it at $12.
    Now on 10/03 lightning round he wants you back in nstk because of RNAI and then he mentioned obesity & diabetes. Is it because the stock ran up yesterday and today at NSTK"s luncheon there is a guest speaker re:RNAI ? Well todays guest will speak about
    "POTENTIAL APPLICATION OF RNAI" POTENTIAL IS POTENTIAL!
    LASTLY IT IS EQUALIY POTENTIAL THAT COME MARCH 2008 WHEN THEIR YEAR END EARNINGS COMES OUT THAT NSTK WILL SET NEW LOWS! "TO MUCH HYPE AND IT IS UNWARRANTED".

    EXPERT ON 'NSTK' What make someone an expert on nstk? Research? Knowledge?
    I disagree with jim Cramer that 'nstk' is a stock to be in, especially in 2007. In looking at the three areas mentioned by Mr.cramer, obesity,autism, and Rnai I believe nstk is far behind in those areas and believe they will have great difficulties advancing in those areas too.*****In the Pipeline: Diabetes and Obesity Archives

    ‘I think within ten years we'll have found the genes of major affect and most of the genes of minor affect. That will then lead to reasonable targets for drug interventions.’

    Once genes are identified, there will be targets for drug intervention.
    Jansen Pharmaceutica recently applied to the Food and Drug Administration for approval of its antipsychotic drug Risperdal for patients with autism.  It's the first time in history a pharmaceutical company has targeted autism as a disease.
    “There are over a million and a half people with autism,” said Shestack. “And they have it from age 2 to age 70. And there is a tremendous opportunity for a company that wants to do well by doing good.”

  • Jim Cramer's Mad Money Lightning Round Picks, April 25 [View article]
    May 5th, 2007
    I can not believe this stock is still above $13 dollars.
    Water seeks its level and so will nstk.
    This stock in my opinion has to be the worst investment anyone with intelligence could possibly invest in.
    If Peter Lynch, and 11 other well reputable people were to have a debate with Cramer regarding 'nstk', I think Cramer would find the rest of his hair on the ground when they would get done with him.
    I like Cramer and his show is interesting and it does make you think, but sometimes when he comes up with a stock with a track record like 'nstk' s after 25 years you may think, what is he crazy?
    Do investors just buy anything he touts without investigating the companies financial background and past performances? And the pipeline resembles an exhaust pipe of a car, that's not a pipeline. this stock belongs at $3-$5 dollars per share until they prove something.

    Cramer can keep on touting 'NSTK' all he wants come May 7th will be the realization of this stock, EARNINGS.
    This year is full of bad earnings reports for 'nstk' and the only bright note is Cramer to date.
    25 past years performance is indication of how really good this company is and it has set the path for its future
    by past history repeating itself. Another words save your money and invest in better companies with FDA approvals,patents,earn... and tremendous pipelines. Lastly most of them are equal in price or cheaper than 'nstk'.
    Any stock can go up for a time but then it must adjust downward, and since the earning report is coming, you probably will see a $12 dollar stock price as sure as Cramer is on each weekday night!
