Worst call by cramer ever?

Quote from sprstpd:

As I remember, the 2001 jump was completely insane compared to Friday's move. I don't have hard facts though, just my memory.

ES 5-min bar OHLC (1:16-1:20pm) on 01-03-01:

1294.5 1360.0 1294.5 1352.5

or about 5% from open to high.
 
Forget the es move back then. If I recall the nq was up 450 points in a few minutes on 1/3/01. A guy in my office was taking a bathroom break, missed the move but still was able to make over $300,000 by buying anything that wasn't up over 10 dollars on the nasdaq. Crazy times back then.

As far as Friday is concerned I'm damn lucky I did not get to my office until after the fed move. I have a bad feeling that I would have been short 5,000 to 10,000 spy and not have been able to cover quick enough. On the flip side I could have been long or flat.
 
...and then there was the time, just a few months ago Cramer was asked by Stephen Colbert about the #1 best stock to own. Cramer's reply: NYX (at 100).

T...O...P... ...T...I...C...K...! :p
