Gotta Love Cramer's Call on Peabody Energy at $51 (It's at $40)

[WhiteKnuckling]

That's only a 23% loss in 5 weeks (since his bullish call).

Great call on Valero, too. :rolleyes:

[SmartMoney101]

I saw him post his "you gotta love this tape" bullish comment on realmoney.com when the naz had just touched green today, right before it got crushed and went to low of the day, you couldnt make that up! So horrible its uncanny!

BTU is now at 38.70


A nice 25% loss in 6 weeks had you listened to Cramer.

Valero is at 51.70.

It was at 67 on August 1st.

A nice 23% loss in 5 weeks.

How do you know that it's a "loss" - what if an investor is accumulating shares at lower prices? Why would a person buy a stock and sell it after a 25% loss unless they never heard of putting in a stop loss? Why are you trashing Cramer with nonsensical assumptions?

The point remains that one would not have made money on either call, and most likely, they would have lost a substantial sum on either.

If one is dollar cost averaging either stock right now, either stock would have to rise significantly above the price they were at when Cramer made his calls.

And why not criticize Cramer for all of the bone-headed calls he makes?

He makes more than his fair share of them.

You obviously don't understand Cramer's show, or haven't seen enough of it to understand what is happening. He gives his opinions on stocks, and you are suppposed to do your own research and make decisions that are your own responsibilty - you're not supposed to get rich by just buying everything he recommends on his show. Is there some other show like that, where you just buy what is mentioned and make a fortune? It seems to me that the only reason you are posting this nonsense is to hype your monkey stock picking site. I guess that makes more sense, letting a monkey choose the stocks. I'm sure the monkey has some interesting things to say about conference calls, sector analysis, etc. - if your point is that no one can just publish winning trades that everyone can follow and succeed with... I think most of us have figured that one out already.
