Cramer's Rants / Stockl's Lemons

Cramer isn't any worse than any other financial entertainer. He bears an uncanny resemblence to the flutist/lead singer of Jethro Tull (less so now that he has lost weight). You know how that song goes: "it was a bungle in the jungle."

Cramer 10/06/06

#1 speculative stock is SNMX. Never speculate with more than 20% of your $$. SNMX is a small biotech that has invented a product that tricks the taste buds into thinking less is more such as : a little salt tastes like a lot of salt, a little sugar tastes like a lot of sugar etc. They have deals in place with coke, kool aid, campbells soup that pay a royalty for each item sold with their chemical inside. This could ad up to a fortune in years to come. Cramer suggests buying slowly into this one.

Cramer made his fortune buying MRK just as statins were being released. It's become a 32 billion dollar business that was totally underestimated by analysts. DNA has a cancer killing drug that seems to have multiple uses. Avestin could be as big or bigger than statins.

Game plan for next week. Before earnings buy INFY MON COST and GCI.

If GOOG buys Youtube shortly it will hit $500 before year's end.

He hates SWHC and Cabot loves it...Go figure????

But I'll let you in on a little secret...SWHC became #1 on the IIC 100 on 9/11/06...But it will not be # 1 this coming Monday 10/9/06...Also, my wife tells me that Cramer likes ABB...which coincidentally came on to the IIC 100 on 9/11/06...Are these guys stealing my stuff???

Cramer 10/05/06

Altria (MO) was crushed by an errant judge's ruling saying they owe 200 mill. in damages. This should be reversed later this year resulting in a split of MO into North American tobacco , World tobacco , and Kraft Foods. These will be worth equivalent of $100.

Get out of semiconductors. Meltdown is on the way although a couple may post record earnings before the bad news dominates.

Stocklemon update : beware of mailings for BZCN.pk this is an exact duplicate for another failed auction company, brainchild of Delmar Janovec who has run at least 3 similar sham companies from Las Vegas . A third party has spent 1 million promoting this company that has $400 in the bank and 81 million outstanding shares. Closed down 52.26% today @1.16.
Stocklemon has forwarded their report to the Las Vegas FBI office.

Do you remember any reasons for this love?

He thinks they are turning it around...Personally, I don't agree...But I don't have a whole lot of listeners on my radio show ...He even said he likes F...He claimed that he called GM in the 18's...I don't know???...But I do know I'm not gonna be in it unless it is a quickie DT....He was saying that the Mgmt is great and people will realize what a great deal it is when it hits 40...Actually, I think Cramer is a GREAT Entertainer...But that's about it...Doug(IIC)

3 featured stocks today :

1. ARNA--takeover target , great weightloss drug (lorcaserin)in the pipeline

2. ARRS--actually worst of breed in a great sector, broadband access equipment manufacturer for triple play of TV/Internet/Phone

3. MGM-- better than HET (Harrahs) might be a takeover target, downside was just cut in half, will be bought up fast if it gets cheap

Cramer 10/02/06 Rerun

Cramer relived his greatest mistakes such as losing 17 million in Cendant (CD) while on vacation. Things to avoid :

Sell immediately when accounting irregularities are announced. It won't get better even if you love the stock.

Never buy anticipating great earnings.

Don't buy if your stock is affected by anticipated good or bad weather.

Be wary of statements from CEO's and company officials especially close to earnings announcements.

Don't buy Cramer's picks without doing your own research.

Before listening to conference calls, get all the information you can about expected sales, gross margins, profits. See how they compare to actual figures.

Nothing new from stocklemon and sharesleuth.

Doug,
Cramer first recommended LVLT @5.60 on Mar.29th . It dropped as low as 3.73 on Aug.11th and closed today at 5.39. Maybe it will take off.

----------billyjoe

That wasn't a bad call on Cramer's part on March 29th...But when it hit 6 on May 1st it started to roll over like most stocks for a couple months...Although Dooms Day for the Naz IMO was May 11th after 2 down days and then it crashed down thru strong support of 2313.

Now, Cramer and I are hoping for an All Time High on LVLT...132.25 back in March '00...LOL...Heck, I'll take 6 right now

Doug,
Do you know anything about this site? I'd like to know their connection to stocklemon. Seems odd they would print article almost word for word.

http://seekingalpha.com/article/17619

------------billyjoe

Seeking Alpha is basically a blog. They invite others to submit articles. Many submitters have their own sites or blogs. It is mostly opinion type stuff.

Andy submitted the article for Stocklemon...whether they have any connection besides allowing Andy to submit articles...I don't know...Doug(IIC)

[billyjoe]

Just checked the site I posted...Cramer mentioned LVLT on the radio on 9/14
