Favorite commentators besides Cramer

jbtrader23 · 08-19-2005, 03:23 AM

There's only a handful of financial commentators that I like paying attention to.

Bill Gross of PIMCO for the economy and bonds.

Jim Rogers for a big world macro picture. He's made incredible money since '98 calling the commodity bull market. Loved his books. I think he's vastly underrated.

Besides Buffett, Soros and the big guns, I like Herb Greenberg, Bill Fleckenstein and maybe one or two others.

Does anyone subscribe to Greenbergs "Reality Check" newsletter?

I do enjoy Herb Greenberg. Especially how he goes toe-to-toe with Cramer on many issues. They both seem to have a good sense of humility and rivalry that makes for interesting segments.

I really like Herb Greenberg, too. He should have his own show.

I also like some guy from Prudential who sometimes comes on Squawkbox in the morning, but I didn't catch his name, and "Jim" from the Forbes on Fox show, airs on Saturdays.

Herb is pretty good. He seeems to take a logical approach when discussing stocks, not just jumping on the bandwagon as most others.

Quite honestly, I don't trust any of them much. I always wonder if they have a hidden agenda or are speaking the truth. I still maintain the only way to be successful in this game is to rely on yourself, no one else. It's good to get ideas from these people, but doing your own homework is essential.

I'm really just reading the news, now, for ideas.

I just like those guys from Forbes and Prudential because they seem experienced and when people are over reacting all around them, they stay cool and steady and what they say is usually true.

Cramer's really good for teaching strategy & motivating people. I don't really get that from anyone else.
