Hetetic ? ... sheer ignorance You gotta be kidding me ? Surely; no one could draw such a totally ignorant conclusion .... << Before anyone sets out to emulate Cramer's frantic trading style, know that his hedge fund, Cramer-Berkowitz & Co., fared poorly in 1998, trailing the Standard & Poor's 500 index by 27 percentage points...>> Cramers "frantic" (your ignorant word, not mine) trading style is hardly "frantic" - and it is certainly no different than other hedge funds; mutual funds, or other traders... his "style" is no different from the many who were up +27%; just as those who may have been down 27%. Fwiw; I think Cramer's 2-3-5 year returns over time speak for themselves... I think Buffet's/Berkshire Hathaway's returns aren't looking so good right here either; for the posterchild of buying & holding... Some people simply miss the forrest for the trees - others are so clueless that don't even know they're outside in the woods... Heretic; sorry - but stupid comments should probably not be even responded to... but; totally ignorant ones - should be imho... The "subject" and the point was not "frantic trading" vs. buy & holding; but rather the neandrathalic ; gee I must buy at $5, I can not sell untill the exact tic at $7 and that must occur precisely between 8:30 and 3:30 pm on the day the JV is to be announced... if it does not happen exactly as I planned - I must sell... Let me guess - you're loaded in FGI... sad... but; without the ignorance that this type of response signifies is the norm; the easy money wouldn't be so easy...
