I don't make long term investments in stocks. The uptick rule has not hurt traders, end of story.

Well, I think the elimination of the uptick rule actually helps small traders deal with program trading. At least MM's don't have to keep upticking stocks every 20 seconds, and moves can be more fluid. We had the uptick rule in 2001 - 03 and that was very volatile. But in regards to choppy...

Flytiger, do you work with, or for, a bank of hedge fund? I ask because in all your rantings about the uptick rule, you never mention the subprime mess, which was the horrendoous fraud that dwarfs even the S&L crisis of the 80's. It is the greatest fraud in modern history. It is what is at...

Comeon man, is this a joke? You guys are just kidding right? :D :D :D :D Newsflash - The world is owned by banks. It's all their money. They start wars to make money, they lend money to us and charge interest. Gotta love that the Federal Reserve is a private corp...

I'm telling you, this "Tudor Jones" works at Denny's

LOL - Biggest commodity collapse in 5 decades. How about the fantastic crushing inflationary runup that preceded the " collapse" Stay tuned for oil and gold to make new highs. I think the collapse will turn out to be a pullback.

Yes, he is so good that he was beaten by: Leonard the Wonder Monkey I posted a link in another thread to a youtube video, where the guy shows how Cramer had a "buy" on BSC at 62 in early March on the Street.com and then later removed that "buy" from the website and replaced it with "sell"...

Subprime mortgage lending is what has caused the problems on the street, not too much leverage to hedge funds. Investment banks bought low quality mortgages, mixed them with AAA paper and resold the toxic mess as CDO's. They sold them to foreign banks and both foreign and domestic pension...

That article is worthless unless we see what the moneyflow and vix were in 2001. The market went crazy then too with the uptick rule. The only thing that has changed is that individual investors can now get short more easily. The funds always went through specialists on NYSE and mm's on...

Even if Hedge Funds do benefit from it, it still levels the playing field. Either everyone has to obey the uptick rule or no one. Why does it matter if Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan can short without a downtick, and a hedge fund can't? What Goldman doesn't have enough money to bury a stock...

HedgeFundTrader? How about a new nick like CluelessPiker#1 :D When you short a stock you are selling it. You are betting you can buy it back for less because it is overvalued. Get a clue.

You seem knowledgeable enough about market history, yet ignorant of market mechanics. The market makers want the uptick rule. That way, they get to be the only ones short. The removal of the uptick rule was a victory for the small guy. That's why Cramer is against it. He is for the big...

I believe they had to abide by it, but they are the ones that control the stocks movement, so it is easy for them to create upticks. Cramer, as usual, is full of crap.

Bear in mind they are looking for young people to work grueling hours and learn. Then have a career with them. They want 22 year olds, so they pick people with degrees instead of a 22 year old who knows nothing. Plus, a degree in finance is necessary to be an analyst. They were not looking...

Only a fool buys an IPO at retail on opening day. 99% of the time you will lose money. I'm amazed the SEC still allows this BS to continue. The banks should have to sell it to the public, this crap of "placing" it is a joke.

Yeah, this link here sums it up about Cramer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=772PXNSrSiI&feature=user I mean, if you make a bad call own it. Here is proof he removed a 3/11/2008 buy recommendation at $62 from The street.com. He replaces it with a sell on 3/17 at $4.81, ANOTHER CRAP CALL...

Congoboy usually trades commodities..... Dung patties on the Kenya exchange I believe

The only thing foreign money is interested in right now is treasuries. They just got screwed with subprime CDO's. It's going to be a while before the corporate sector gets any big $ from overseas.

This move with BSC certainly does not instill faith in the US stockmarket overall. I'm not a stock investor at the moment, but I would certainly not be buying US equities at this point. Wait for GOOG at 50 or GS at 15 :D

Regardless of what Cramer did in the 90's, nobody should be listening to him at this point. A while back, there was a website that had a monkey picking stocks and compared it to Cramer's pcks on Mad Money (Roscoe the monkey, I think) The monkey made more money! :D Cramer Sucks!!
