Which Jim is better - Cramer or Jubak?

[Jazen]

Which Jim do you trust or have had better luck with more, Cramer or Jubak? Jubak just pumped KWK, CRZO, UPL today.

Jubak by far, since I bought CBI on his suggestion in AUG, and since I got in so heavy, made more than I ever have in my life, 2500.00 in less than a month. With Cramer, about even.

Jubak's explanations are easier to follow but I think Cramer is more entertaining.

[xboilermaker]

That's why I try not to miss MadMoney, for the entertainment value, wondering what he's going to try pump on a given night. Then there is always the never ending hype of any stock in his trust. Half the time in the lightning round, or a call, I know what he is going to suggest instead of what they ask about. Still entertaining, even if you think you have deja vu sometimes.

Cramer had the CEO of UPL on months ago, saying what a good play it was. Anyone who bought in is probably making some good money, now. I don't remember what the price was at the time, but did see it jump up from there. I stopped watching it, when the environmentalists starting giving them grief, I don't know what happened since.

I'm not sure their average yearly gains are very different but Cramer does have the higher entertainmet value.

[mdamia]

It is TV so I go for entertainment value, Cramer all the way!!!

I see a conflict in a prediction on OXY. Jubak says to sell it, and Cramer said buy in lightning round night before last. I personally think Cramer is right here, but just from curiosity am going to see.

First time I've heard of Jubak, but I know with certainty Cramer is the king. I just read up on him a bit. Jubak's only online, correct?

[xboilermaker]

Jubak is one of the commentators on msn money. I don't know, days like today, when my Cramers crap is down across the board (cib,mot,penn,ruth,vlo) and my stocks from ideas on msnmoney (agi,crxl,lub ggc) are all up except lub(which I'm way ahead on) The stock with my second biggest overall loss was his main squeeze,shld. I used to hang on every word that came out of his mouth, but I have begun to watch him for entertainment value only.

I do thank my lucky stars that GGC and CRXL are my largest holdings, so overall, it is still a very good day for me so far.

Oh, and by the way, the revelation by Cramer about Ensco (ESV) and Saudi Arabia? A little outdated. Jubak had already said to buy it in his column of Sep14, 16 days before Cramer jumps on. If you bought after Cramers tout, you almost certainly paid more than 46 unless you were lucky enough to get it during the heartbeat it fell below that. But if you had bought on the 14th when Jubak put the column in msn money, it was in the 38 range, closing at 38.70, and you would now be up 25% instead of just about even.

[englishman26]

Agree about the Ensco - but they're just both stock pickers - -they'll get different ones right and wrong. I'm sure the list of comparisons could be several pages wrong. The key is to buy what you understand and trust based on your own knowledge and homework after their recommendation. Too many idiots hang on their every word without any consideration of what they're doing.

Btw - hasn't GGC been going down for the last 2 months?!
