Cramer's Mad Money - Paul Krugman Is Wrong (8/10/09)

I stand corrected. Krugman is not a top advisor to Obama. I guess reading the extreme socialist bent of his columns which range well beyond economic theory,we could call him a "leading indicator" of Obama. Certainly if he worked for Reagan at one time there is no trace of that in his writings.

Actually for those with a leftist orientation, you need to know that people who take a conservative position are not "haters". That label is getting really old. Paul Krugman is not at all stupid, but there is a reason that Economics was once called "Political Economy". The Keynesian set of theory constructs reflects a sociopolitical orientation very different from Frederick Hayek. Who is "right" depends upon one's view of government as either the parent or the servant of the people.

Krugman, from his writings, clearly believes that the people need a government acting as the parent.

At least for the balance of 2009, the federal government of Barack Obama may allow some of us the freedom to disagree, even with economic policies and health care issues.

Next year, who knows?

Cramer's Mad Money - Paul Krugman Is Wrong (8/10/09)

I agree with Dr. Benway. When Cramer says Krugman is wrong I get nervous, but since I know that Krugman is much more a Marxist oriented economist, it is necessary in the Krugman/Rahm Emmanuel world for continued economic downspin,so as to further empower government.

I do not feel sorry for Kramer. Krugman is a top adviser to Obama and the Chicago gang, and Kramer voted for Obama. When you drink the Kool Aid, don't complain,Cramer.

Cramer's Stop Trading! Dow Doomsday Scenario (3/6/09)

You know, there is a time when Cramer would be better just keeping his mouth shut. Who knows where things are going.

What does he want- credit if his lowball predictions are right? Maybe they will be higher, maybe lower, the fact is that he has no idea, so he should just shut up already.

Trying to Catch a Falling Dollar

very well written analysis without hype. Sensible advice.For those of us not versed in options, a further explanation of the puts and their cost/benefit by an example would be helpful.But I agree that at this point some dollar cost averaging into dividend stocks makes sense. I would also add NOV as a company which has seen its share price savaged by hedge selling, despite great fundamentals. Also FWLT.
Fine, let them drift down more, they won't go to zero, and with dollar cost averaging of existing positions it can pay to go against the crowd.
