  • 2 Cheap Ways to Profit from India
    I just ran them through my proprietary calculations, and I cannot believe you pushed them at $27/share. They'll see $22 before they see $30. Why you waited for the day after their largest volume trading day in a while, to push them, is obvious. The best is behind them.

  • 2 Cheap Ways to Profit from India
    So INFY has gone from the high $40's to the high $20's over the past six months, while the USD index (DX-Y.NYB) has run from 72 to 82 and you're seriously going to argue with me about what happens to INFY going forward.

  • 2 Cheap Ways to Profit from India
    I think you've done the readers an enormous disservice by promoting INFY and RDY, without warning them that continued strength of the USD, and a continuing drop in worldwide computer sales, has made these companies a poor investment at this time. Haven't we been through this with China, where non-stop promotion of a far away market, based on economic data that is "home made", runs up the prices of equities no one here really understands, until the bottom falls out, and the average investor gets crushed?

  • As Lending Ebbs, Excess Reserves Flow - A Lot
    Great article. The inflationist camp keeps misunderstanding that chart, as I've seen links for it pop up on all of the gold, silver, and commodity stock message boards. When that chart actually stops going up, we'll see something worth noting.

  • Manufacturing Activity Hits a 28 Year Low
    So, you guys are pretty much going to head into 2009, with the same mantra you had last year. "Gold is the only safe investment and not overpriced, even when it temporarily reaches over $1000/oz."

    I'll give you guys credit. You've managed to keep precious metal prices from collapsing as base metals did. Well done, since I am an investor in this sector, but eventually the faith investors have in Schiff, Morgan, Leeb, Faber, Wiegand, etc. will wear thin and money will shift back into other beaten down commodities at around mid-April 2009.

    I don't know why gold enthusiasts think that their investment is any less risky, and can hold gains in a deflated world environment. Granted, gold has held up longer during this cycle, but upside vs. downside...downside will probably win out by mid-year. Yes, I track the enormous quantity of money held by banks, and know the Federal Reserve's balance sheet is parabolic, but who will they lend to? That's the $1T question. Consumers are turning into savers, most companies cannot afford properly risk-priced capital, and on and on it goes. Something has to "lead" to get the speed of money to trigger inflation. I just don't see any half-baked financial product, growth industry, etc. that will provide the needed catalyst. Without inflation, gold is merely a short-term, fear hedge, at best.

  • Direxion's Andy O'Rourke Talks Triple Leverage
    All of these leveraged ETF's are just tools. Every time I hear someone, like Cramer, go off on a particular one (in his case, those ultra-inversed) I wonder where the spirit of Free Trade went. The only investors who buy them, must know what they are buying and what the risks are. This interview was excellent. Andy O'Rourke explained his product. Whenever you hear or read a CEO interview, they blow sunshine everywhere. The CEO would never make preface statements, and say that if something happens, their stock is not the investment you are looking for. Mr. O'Rourke did that repeatedly, because he knows he does not have to sell this investment tool. It sells itself.

    Cramer's fear of short-sellers is a bit of a red-herring, as he is trying to divert your attention away from his horrific 2008 record. Jim Jubak explained that a "lack of short sellers" is a problem.

    Having investors in the market, whether they be short or long, is what is required to make a market. When 401K's dissolve, and individual investors switch over to treasuries (permanently), we'll look back and understand that Wall Street con-men like Fuld, Cramer, Thain, Payne, Madoff, Navellier, etc. (and not inverse ETF's) were the reason the future turned out the way it did.

  • Buying USO Is a No-Brainer
    UCO vice DXO. Takes some of the risks associated with the ETN (DXO) out of the ultra-exposure. Also, the sheer number of comments made on this post shows that investor interest is starting to peak.

  • My 8 Value Plays for '08: The Results
    You must be kidding with number 2. To even debate the fact that we have been in a recession since December 2007 is the height of self-deception. Why does the "R" word scare those with a grasp of economics?

    www.businessweek.com/m...

    Only a few of the 54 economists in Dec. 2007 (see link) thought we would have a recession, and of those, neither thought it would last more than the required two quarters. Was it so hard to accept the fact that the World leveraged $20T into $63T from 2002 to Dec. 2007, through the clever use of smoke and mirrors, and that it could be sustained? While I personally believe the Austrian School (i.e. Peter Schiff) is both right and wrong about 2009, the Wall Street Kool-Aid drinkers, to which you appear to belong, have given them more credence than they ever should have, due to your camp's repeatedly misguided "rah rah" mantras.

    The others, well, Nostradamus you're not. I appreciate the attempt, but you should accept the fact that you are biased towards certain realities that do not exist. Case in point being your Citigroup recommendation at $26.

  • Why Does Cramer Have a Beef with Leveraged ETFs?
    Aren't Ultra-ETF's just as sinister? They also double your bet on the Market. Look, the short ETF tirade is just Cramer's latest red herring, designed to distract viewers (aka newbies) from thinking about all of his own personal picks this year. To really savor this year's non-stop Cramerican Nightmare, Don Harrold videos on You-Tube are all you need.

    Spoiler Alert: He helped bankrupt small investors in droves.

  • 'Second Half Recovery' Thesis Alive and Well in China
    I think the selling stopped because someone was placed in an ankle bracelet. Enter reality.

  • League Table: The Top Sovereign Default Repeat Offenders
    A nice reminder that besides Madoff, investment banks, hedge funds and the overpaid and incompetent CEO's that run many of our world's top companies, are not the only investment worry for Joe-Six-Pack's IRA. Countries themselves have willfully stolen investment dollars. As deluded as some Gold Bugs are, there is no denying that physical possession of this asset provides no exposure to the litany of lunatics offering investments based on trust.

  • Time to Cautiously Get Back in the Game
    Translated: Bernie Madoff, Investment Banks, and the rest of the "Financial Elite" stole everyone's money, but trust us! Get back in the game! Please move your retirement money back into equities, the coast is clear. This is the 14th bottom call, and that's always the charm.

    Didn't work?

    "Get that clown Cramer back in make-up, cue lunatic rant.... three....two....one (silent)..."

    "Hey this is Cramer...some people want to make friends.....I just want to make YOU money...."
