Cramer's Rants / Stockl's Lemons

Update stocklemon 8/24/06

Medifast may be a legit company after all. They are executing their business plan. Are one of the rarest of companies that has gone from OTC to AMEX to NYSE. They have 27 consecutive quarters of growth. Revenue up 89% yr/yr. Income up 100% yr/yr. Guidance increase 4th consecutive quarter. Full year guidance up nearly 10% from previously announced. They are now targeting a younger age group of women 30-45 vs. previously 45-65. This will cost them about $25 more for each new customer but 15,000 physicians now are prescribing their diet plan . They plan on 25 weight loss centers to be opened by years end. Stock price has tumbled from 21 to 12 in last few months.

Someone should grab these guys off the street and have their way with them. First they knock the shit out of a good stock with their unfounded bullshit and then after the damage is done they recant what they've said and everything is supposed to be alright. They are a bigger scam than the stocks they badmouth. If you don't think they are profiting from these situations I've got a bridge you can buy.

How much do you want for the bridge?

No recent reports from Stocklemon...so to make up for it I will pick a stock to pick on:

IIC's Loser's Watch List:

CHS...It's over...it's done...it's gonna tank


Actually it already has tanked...but it is gonna get worse.

Now, let's see if my indepth report has any influence on the stock price tomorrow???

Doug,

You are $$$HUUUUUGE$$$

[skiracer]

How much do you want for the bridge?

The bridge is in West Virginia an it's on one of those highways down there that doesn't go anywhere. It's real cheap.

[IIC]

Doug,

You are $$$HUUUUUGE$$$

Thanks Peanuts...Now that I thoroughly destroyed CHS down 25.5% today after my scathing report last night...I'll have to find another HUGE loser this weekend...Doug(IIC)

Cramer 8/24/06

Buy defensive stocks if you think the market is going to stay in the doldrums. These would include underexposed and unexploited products in drugstores and supermarkets. The best plays would be DA ( yogurt and avian water) and TR (tootsieroll) TR expects 8% growth followed by 9% for several future years. Drugstore products are led by CHTT (icy hot, goldbond, selsun blue) and MTXX (zicam). If you're a real market pessimist, PRGO with 1200 generic drug products may be the answer.

LIKES: DA TR CHTT MTXX BA ED HPQ YHOO GLW

HATES: HANS LU SLE REDF CWTR BMY

OK...I'll give you some inside info...Here are 2 that I'm considering for the next IIC's Loser's Watch List:

FINL and KBH

Shh...Don't tell anyone...Keep this just between you and me...I'd hate for anyone to get wind of the stocks I'm considering ahead of time for the Loser's List and try to take advantage of the info before I publically announce it

[billyjoe]

Doug,
OK, I WON'T TELL ANYONE THAT IIC THINKS THAT FINL AND KBH ARE DEAD MEAT AND WILL TANK ANYTIME NOW. DON'T WORRY DOUG I KNOW HOW TO KEEP A SECRET AND WON"T MENTION .................................................. .................FINL AND KBH TO ANYONE

Doug,
You should have played that one in the POTW. You have to have faith in your predictions.

Well Ski...Chicos closed at 24.08 and then opened at 19.12 apparently due to my report...so in the contest I would've gotten 19.12 on a short...Still not too bad though considering it closed at 17.95 today...Guess the late-birds didn't see my report till today.

When posting my pix gains and losses I don't use the prior day's close like some National Publications do...If I pick 'em I use the next trading day's open...Not that you can necessarily even get the open...But I think it is a little more realistic.

Now that Billy opened his BIG mouth...Let's see how FINL and KBH fare tomorrow...You better hope that I never put HSOA on the list...LOL

Now...Who wants to come up with a good domain name for my new venture??? Post your suggestions here...If I pick your suggestion I will tell you how to get a FREE 2 week subscription to IBD.
