Fuld to Wall of Shame - Cramer's Mad Money (9/9/08)

Well said, Britishsteel. It seems that China is now blamed for everything -- she is to blame for doing something (e.g, carbon emission), and she is to blame for not doing something (not buying more of this and that). I no longer listen to Cramer on account of his China-bashing.

Lehman Brothers Take-over: Implications for Financials

When MER sold some of its CBOs at 22 cents per dollar, with 75% financed by MER, one commentator, over CNBC, said that the effective rate is actually 5.5 cents on the dollar -- I share this view.

Merrill Raises Capital - Fast Money Recap (7/28/08

Excellent report. I tried to follow Fast Money whenever I could, but the last portion (one next-day trade) was invariably too fast such that I could not catch what was said. So, that alone would make your summary valuable. One suggestion: create a new section head for this entry. I almost missed reading yours because of its being listed under "Cramer's Pick."

Options Trader: Tuesday Outlook

Good comment on Dow component substitution. Technically, past years' Dow data should be recast using substituted components. Is there such a study?

Leery about Lehman - Fast Money Recap (6/3/08)

Although I tried to read Speaking Alpha daily, I must admit that this is the first time I came across this post (Fast Money recap). I tried to view Fast Money daily - but the last segment (Final trade) is usually mumbled and not repeated. So, this post serves a very useful purpose, particularly for those slow-pokes like me.
Before typing this comment, I re-read the title of this post. I think I know one reason why it had not attracted my attention earlier -- the heading is not attractive enough. In my view, it should read: Fast Money Recap - 6/3/08: Leery on Lehman.

My Ten Predictions for 2008

With C the only stock mentioned by name, the rationale for the prediction that it will be in the teens in 2008 is not convincing. Writing-down of subprimes is one thing; beefing up capital is another thing altogether, in my view. omooc

November Market Analysis - What a Month!

In Cramer's program, whenever a stock is mentioned, there is, invariably, transactions on that stock. While the host may not have positions in the stocks he recommends, reading your post gives one the impression his buddies are well prepared to pounce on listeners ready to take action. Except for an article in Barron's a few weeks back, are there other studies about Cramer's recommendations? omooc

re C, apparently "traded to the bid" has significance. would appreciate a tutorial on this term. omooc
