TOT:

As usual, there is at least one blatantly incorrect fact in Cramer's blurb that, as an anal engineer type, I feel compelled to point out.

Thermometers measure "temperature", not "heat". So Cramer should be equating "temperature" to "stock price", and probably "heat" (or more accurately "energy content") to "market capitalization".

And he should be talking absolutes not relatives, so that the energy content goes to zero when the absolute temperature goes to zero, just as the market cap goes to zero when the stock price goes to zero.

Darned neat analogy when you get it right, and if I had a subscription to TSM, I'd tell Cramer to get his science correct.

What do we care, you ask? Well, nothing else to play with right now, so may just as well play with metaphors....
