For you guys that are familiar with Cramer maybe you can answer a question I've had for a while.
When he pumps a stock live on air it's easy to see on the ticker that people are piling in after hours either because they want to make a quick buck on his recomendation, or they actually believe the stock is a long term winner and want to get in early. By the time the average retail investor punches in an after hours market order for XYZ, its too late to capture the big initial move. What I want to know is, who are the first ones in that actually make money off of a quick in and out trade? Hedge funds?CNBC insiders?
I know most people on ET think Cramer is a joke and that he's pumping these stocks for his own personal gain, but I actually respect the guy and don't believe he does anything dishonest....Buying his picks on the other hand is a completely different story.
