Shoot...remember the last time that every tom, dick and harry was into stocks? Even the kids? When was that...oh yeah back in Jan 2000.... :eek: :eek:
A 450M hedgefund? What a pathetically small fund. The CEO of microsoft could buy that up easily.
Cramer's picks suck. He makes so many bad calls it is amazing how is able to stay on the air. I guess since he draws high ratings CNBC keeps him on, but you can only imagine how much money people have lost since March 2005 watching his show.

EXACTLY what I was thinking! I know a few college kids that learned the bear market lesson firsthand a few months after that. They deserved it.
This is a reminder that this bull run is getting mighty frothy.
A contrarian indicator for absolutely....
...when the shoe-shine boy (or bright eyed college student) start giving stock tips (and getting as excited about the market as college football), it's time to take a cold, clinical assessment of reality.
Buried in this thread is the idea of the century....
Opening up daytrading offices on college campuses?
Quote from runningman:
Opening up daytrading offices on college campuses?
Not really.
Having bben a finalist judge on an annual shootout of B schools,
it is inevitable to consider how the schools go through the repeated weeding to get to the final shootout.
So, in reflection, it is anything but the ordinary for the creme to rise to the top.
Unfortunately, the IB Olympiad reqired that college students file canned stuff to compete so it was way wide of the target.
What could take over the interest of a campus, is getting the job done in a context of the current media capability.
For years, we had a full S&P brokerage service subtending the FA and TS going on on campus. While is was in a day school context, the parking lot always filled earliest (before school) and nearest to where the WSJ bundles hit the tarmack.
There is an unsatiable desire on the part of students for continuity of learning and learning in the context of reality (and they do run real accounts as well).
There is no way a college level network of school teams participating wouldn't wipe Cramer off the face of the earth.
It would be like having a 30 minute "sweep" of campuses, hosted by a dynamic and dynamite jurist that could just rip the daily world markets.
The top students participating as they do in the business school shootouts, all in a no holds barred data retreival scenario, would galvanize the national academic community like nothing else could.
This is not "college bowl" or that level by any means.
Cramer is trite and just surface. Today, it is possible to have a network of stellar players rolling and cross fertilizing.
Onviously the whole nine yards will beomce very salable and tranportable.
that's a good article, i like that he's getting references in areas he doesn't know to broaden the exposure.
i don't know why he'd be referencing belle & sebastian OR the pixies now; panic @disco, fallout boy would be 'hip' bands. or closer to b&s - damien rice?
but then again, i always am a sucker when television programs stick to a 'niche' area, but throw in stuff to outside audiences. like, "you really have to like X to watch us, but we have interests outside of it, too".
