Cramer's Rants / Stockl's Lemons

[IIC]

Cramer is apparently on vacation and they're showing re-runs. I know some folks here consider any information about Cramer as welcome as a turd in the punch bowl and I see your point but believe he does come up with interesting thoughts and ideas that make a person question their stock selection process. I haven't bought any of his recommendations in nearly 3 years but I've looked into several of them. Let me know if you'd rather I quit posting about Cramer. Maybe it doesn't really belong here.

I'm not his # 1 fan but he does say some helpful stuff on his radio show...IIC

Thanks for that synopsis, BillyJoe. I like the non-unionized companies too. I mean a little collective bargaining for humane conditions is one thing, but some o' those unions are sucking the lifeblood out of the animal that sustains them.

Me too. My mmmmmind is too strong to be taken over by Cramer..Cramer. His words bounce off me , I laugh at his recommendations . Cramerica doesn't really exist. Or does it ? Something just compels me to transfer his commands....words to this thread. We are the chosen few.

I heard him say that too. In that context he also said that of the thousands of investors he talks to, he doesn't know any that have ever listened to a conference call. Well he doesn't know me then, because I listen to them all the time.

So do I............

Listen to conference calls, go to www.sec.gov and study 10-K reports.

Do your homework. Don't buy stocks heavy with debt. If you buy based on an occurance such as analyst upgrade , eps surprise , and it doesn't work as you planned , sell immediately.

Cramer 6/23/06

Game plan for next week. Get in to stocks at 52 week highs. Funds will want to show holders the winners they hold at the end of the quarter. Buy 1/2 position before the FED meeting and 1/2 position after the FED meeting. Three good ones to consider : JCP , the most consistent retailer is going more high end. FMD , huge student loan business 30% of the float is short , big short squeeze coming soon. FMD has little to no debt and is growing at a 20-30% clip annually. GRMN of GPS fame also shows 14% annual growth rate. Two others with great possibilities and earnings due next week are RIMM and PALM.

Best of :

High Growth Rate Stocks : PNRA
Consistent Growth Stocks : GIS
Value Stocks : WLT (has subsidiary worth almost as much as mother company)

Cramer Likes : NWL ATK RTP SGP BAS DVN

Cramer Hates : SIRI ADTN T CBI DELL RSH
