Making Mad Money with Jim Cramer

Quote from gatorplease:

this brings up my point from a previous post. we are in a strong rally. it will be interesting to see the results in a downdraft. not being critical, just want to see results in a bear market too.

Keep up the good work!

Time will tell, I'm thinking 6 months to a year to see how much money is the max you need in 6 months and what kind of return you get on it, I want this system to be investment grade 20%+ for a year, so we'll see.

As to the QQQQ opinion. Kinda crazy to load the boat on one investment, don't you think? Also when QQQQ goes back down I will still have my realized gains while minimizing my losses in a potential bear market.

the qqqq is a diversified etf of 100 stocks. it is a good way to play the market leaning toward the tech sector. it was just a comparison to your results to see if cramer is adding value to the market rally.
 
today just after maybe 3 Cramer was on CNBC and started talking about why traders haven't seen TEX yet, when a certain competitor making the same product was taking off, and that five minute bar the stock gained $1.50. I don't play those type of trades but obviously, they are playable, just like news or earnings etc. Have access to the info and being quick w/ the trigger finger can be an edge, for the right person w/ the right mentality. Though I know those particular picks don't seem to be what this thread is about.
 
I believe that Cramer's calls are being front-run. If you will pull up the charts of his opening picks, you will see that they seem to rise in the afternoon before the program. Sometimes there are unusual volume increases also.

Does anybody know where I can get transcripts of his program, or at least a list of the stocks he flogs at the beginning of the program?

Which Jim Cramer program are you referring to - his radio show or his CNBC show which follows later in the day?
 
The TV show on CNBC.

Just for example - take a look at these three wierd Chilean names which were flogged on the 15th: ENI VLO SQM

ARG on the 16th.

ALVR on the 17th.


Or am I just another paranoid stock trader. :(
 
What do you suppose are the odds that Cramer covered those same (or related) stocks on his radio show earlier in the day?...

Some short-term traders profitably follow this axiom: real money precedes mad money.
 
Pretty funny - Shark is, yet again, bagging Cramer for telling people to jump into a trade (re-DKS). He wanted them in the UARM IPO, even if it went up 25%! Opened at $31 and dumped to $25. Booyuh!

Without ever actually saying it, I believe Rev Shark brings up all the terrible trading advice Cramer throws out there, and smears it back into his (pudgy) face. "Thesis's" and market/sector ideas are one thing, but over and over Cramer shows that he didn't actually do much of the trading at Cramer-Berk...

I must have missed that part. What limit price did you suggest for UARM?

Position: None Mentioned.

I wanted limit orders, not market orders ... no confusion. I have made that abundantly clear in every article and in two books.

Position: None

UARM Advice?
11/18/2005 3:37 PM EST

I'm confused about the advice on Under Armour (UARM:Nasdaq) that Jim Cramer mentions in the column to the right. The advice on Mad Money that I heard was, "Even if Under Armour opens 25% higher than where it's priced and you don't get any of the deal, I still want you to pick up shares the moment it starts trading. I think it's only going to go up from there like iRobot."

The stock opened at $31 and is now at $25.41. How that benefits the individual investor escapes me. The idea that the average guy is going to get an allocation of a hot IPO is simple ridiculous. What actually happens is that the average guy ends up chasing the stock and the market makers stick it to him. That sure looks like what happened in this case.
