Hey, Cramer we lovez you, man!

[zyzzyva57]

Wed, you indirectly confirm you visit here. We give you hell, but it is tough love. You listen to us, thanks. I am noting subtle changes to your show we bring up here, thanks. It really got to you about us raising Cain about the after hour trading going on, and you explained Wed how to counter it, thanks. Keep visiting us. I will continue giving you pure hell, but I really do think you know and love the stock market. I understand you have to treat stocks with the air of Professional Wrestling. I would, too, for the big bucks CNBC is paying you. Anyway, keep visiting here, and learn with us--Us about stocks, you about your core audience...

There are plenty of members like me must be happy that J.C visits this forum but no official respons except he mentioned on the Mad Money Show today(3/22) that it will bw foolished like"Heinz" to buy stock that he reccommends either now or tomorrow,says wait for one week! By the time it must be down or below today's price.

[zyzzyva57]

I don't see him listed above in the "Members List" of this site. Why do you think Heinz dwells here?

I don think we're the only ones bitchin' about the lemmings. He's mentioned not running the stock up in after hours in the past, in fact back in the summer a few times, so let's not get ahead of ourselves. If he visits here great, I just hope he doesn't pump the site on his show or all the damn lemmings with inundate the site and litter the place with questions about Cramer picks.

I did find it refreshing when he called them "idiots" if they run up WTW and need to do at least 1 hour of HW (which is the best thing he could've said), but this shows how distanced he is from his picks. For example, let's look at SVI. It's up 10% in afterhours like a typical sub-$10 number that the lemmings love. WTW at $50 is only up 30 cents. This is typical and if you havent noticed it check it out. Anything under $20 will be up 5-20%. If it's over this quick hit dollar amount it might move 2% and that's pushin' it.

I commented on this phenomenon in Liroff's post about AMN http://www.cramersmadmoney.com/showthread.php?t=2724. Ppl will jump all over a stock 2, 5, or 10 dollars that has no earnings and nothing but a hope and a prayer of being around in 5 years, but when it comes to a good company's stock like say PG, Cramer's lemmings avoid it like the plague.

It just shows their impetuous and capricious nature. Rather than buy a good company, collect the dividend, and ride it for 10-20% over the coarse of a year they want the one-hit-wonder. I just hope they all get burned like they deserve.

With a network show, it is the cost of doing business category. A national publication ought to do a story on this: start with the SEC and see what perks its interest in a run up of a stock's price vis-a-vis a network show--not just Cramer, but "60 Minutes," "Dateline," etc. For example, I would love to know ahead of time a company "60 Minutes" is featuring. The problem here, of course, is the long time line of story preparation to airing. Regardless, any network show has zillions of people behind the sceneS who could tell a friend or kin to buy or dump a stock. With Cramer, it is more intense, because of the show's nature. I simply do not believe Cramer is deliberately doing anything illegal. Let the lemmings and after hours traders run up a stock, I've learn to sit back and wait and watch a stock to see if it really has legs after the dog has barked and the caravan has moved on, or to use Cramer's techniques on stocks he does not pump.

Do not forget, the big regulator of Cramer is all his enemies with big bucks to monitor him!

Bottom line: CramerLand is fun after a day at the salt mine :)

[zyzzyva57]

After Wed. show, I "Googled" our lad, and I don't find another Cramer Message Board like this, do you? It would be wise if he did visit here, because there is no flamming and a lot of give and take and learning.

Something sure got to him, and those spikes up in stock prices are sure discussed here more than any one topic.

Jimmy C's a self-proclaimed demigod. I love me, I made that great call on _____, buy the book, love the bobblehead, (insert stupid music here).

He's really nothing more than a pied piper of idiots with too much money and too much time. When the golf course is covered in snow, there's surely gotta be an indoor activity where a man can drop more money than I make in a military career. And, a fool and his money will soon part. Jimmy C's only being the catalyst to the separation by his antics.

What does this all mean, Mr InvestingMoron? Well, his banter and antics attract attention, which brings people in droves. These people bring money. Jimmy C buys WXYZ at $10, mentions it on the show, sells for $16 into the frenzy, and buys again when it comes back down to $10. A net profit of 60% in a matter of a week, not bad. Then, a "caller" asks about the stock again on the lightning round, which Jimmy C endorses ('mooonn back), sells back into that frenzy for another 40%.......anyone see a pattern developing here?

I've never bought anything the bald-headed oompa loompa recommended and probably never will. But thanks for bringing some idiots to the market, Froto.

Cramer is a professional wrestler. I am just waiting for him to come out one night in a blaze of fireworks. But, he is fun. You so want to believe in him, wrestlers, and Santa and the Easter Bunny. You just don't get too old not to want to believe, just believe, after a day at the local salt mine being screwed around with by bosses, by oil companies, and by polticians and by bureaucrats. There is a little sap in all of us. Cramer is just one of many who makes a nice living tapping into it.

ROFL Cramer is an idiot huh? I think your even more jealous than me.

[zyzzyva57]

Can you imagine being stalked as much as legally possible by the jealous and envious big boys and gurls on Wall Street. The positive is it keeps Cramer honest knowing this groups dissect his every show for a crack. Money is no object with their dissection. It would be a real coup for whoever did this.

[Martin]

Since Cramer has his own shows, I think it would be illegal for him to buy a stock and then couple days later. If it wasn't, he would be outed for doing so and his reputation would go 6 feet under.

Doesn't he mention all the time he only trades stocks now for his ActionAlertsPlus charitable trust? With as much money as he has, he could just bank it all and live off the interest.

[zyzzyva57]

Cramer would have to be a pure idiot to engage in insider trading with so many of the big boys and gurls watching for him to slip up.
