1/2 the market is POSITIVE THINKING, and IF’ you can make EVERYONE THINK the same..

There has to be better controls on WHAT makes a STOCK, go up or down..
It was very funny with OIL..as the MORE persons buying a STOCK you would think would drive the PRICE DOWN.
THERE has to be a VALUE behind WHAT is forcing the price up…NOT positive thinking..or Manipulation.

Commodities, are different.. Its like INSURANCE on crops or goods. And investment into the idea that your GOODS will be worth more later.

Loading up with SDS and SRS… thanks Cramer. BTW, when did he declare the “depression” had started?

Hmeyers says:

Add:

We have not even begun to see where this depression goes!

But … there will likely be a 6-9 month uptick (summer) wedged in there as the stimulus cashola spreads the wealth around.

However it won’t last long as the USA will discover it actually needs jobs for people to buy things.

And our country likes to import, outsource and borrow … none of which produce a damn thing another country is willing to buy.

Well, except it produces inflation and currency devaluation.

One of the most reliable trades in the market is “fading Cramer”–do the opposite of what he tells his sheeple.

father time says:

I think the market will be flat while the “stimulus” money flows. Then, if Christmas tanks, the Gov. will panic and inject more cash into the econ. in Jan. 2010.

If Xmas doesn’t suck, “shovels ready” starts early 2010, and the resulting increase in average pay floats the econ. (stock market) higher until the construction (bridge and highway) money runs out. This will be called the “Road Bubble”. After the RB, the stock market will tank again.

I think there are two interesting effects from this cycle: it drives away illegals, and it puts downward pressure on wages. How are wages affected? The longer the Gov. waits to hand work to the unemployed the less they will accept per hour.

#22 You seem to be the one who doesn’t know how the market works. Your WWF-fan defense of Craker is duly noted.

This guy is one level from having his own Sunday worship and healing show.

All of this hatred against Cramer started after he criticized Obama and federal reserve ben helicopter benanke!

Billy Bob says:

#35,

Cramer has been hated for many years by knowledgeable people for conspiring with pump-and-dump operators to lead retail investors astray. It has nothing to do with politics.

He’s going to try to suck as many people in as possible before this year’s summer swoon.

Mr. Fusion says:

The whole problem with the Stock Market is that it is a phony concept. People bet on what they, and others “think” a company is worth. This is nothing comparable to what the company is actually worth.

They look at next quarter’s profits instead of a long term stability. And people like Cramer are a leading cause of the whole current depression. Idiots like Alphie and Cow-Patty don’t help.
