JXM is a closet shorter. Check out Cramers evening commentary: "Margin Sellers Push Latest Decline Remember the other day
when I said that if you were
on margin, get off it? Looks
like those that didn't have a
chance to do so are having
it done for them.

This most recent break in the market is reminiscent of
other spectacular declines in Red Hot stocks, typically
magnified by people who have to sell because they don't
have the money to own stocks overnight.

Last April, and again last
summer, we saw this
peculiar pattern where
people come in and pile on
the most vicious of the
declines. Often these are sales mandated by the margin
rules.

I wish I could tell you that this just ends on a dime. But
it hasn't historically. Usually it is compounded by false
rumors about stocks that were hanging in there to
complete the rout.

We are using EXTREMELY wide scales to buy stocks
we love, as we want to deploy our cash into weakness.
No, it's not fun. No, it's not conducive to laughter and
guffaws and attaboys.

It's just the way it is. '
