I lagree with Cramer, that guy is good on the market, contrary to what many people here seem to think. Sorry, but I just by what I see. Personally, I like the down move yesterday, so am going short overnight. I have a stop in at 1565. ALL QUOTES ARE CASH BEFORE ANYONE STARTS GETTING FUNNY ABOUT IT. I am posting real time, so no manipulation etc. On the size I am doing if my stop is hit, I will lose around $30,000. Not massive, but will hurt of course. Good trading.

There's a website that tracks Cramer's predictions. Unfortunately I don't have the link. The last time I checked, his predictions about indicidual stocks' direction were correct less than 50% of the time, a week or two after his touts them. So many people watch him that his calls have a very short-term effect in the direction that he announces, the same way that those ridiculous spam emails get suckers to buy penny stocks. To each his/her own.

Yes. Here is an example of what can happen. Cramer was all over this name on the Tuesday show, giving it a take-over target of 34-60.
