To: Michael Young who wrote (4015 ) 6/6/2001 2:48:02 AM From: Doc Bones Respond to of 52153 Let me say first that I'm sure Mike is who he says he is: I have no trouble believing he is a lawyer. ( <g> & apologies) But if we're going to talk about civilized behavior, I find replies like this, to someone who dares to criticize the great Cramer, offensive: -----------Message 15866729 Cramer steal your lunch money one day? Maybe you shouldn't read his stuff in the future. MIKE ---------- And I think we know now that you think Cramer is a great investor/biotech expert, and that you think several of our regulars should start a hedge fund. Endlessly repeating these facts can get annoying. I'm concerned because I've seen several threads on SI damaged lately by posters who join a successful thread, and make a nuisance of themselves, constantly fighting with the regulars and being deliberately obnoxious. Do I think you've reached that stage? Not yet. But you might want to start your own thread: "Cramer, biotech genius" or something along that line. There have been many posts to this thread detailing Cramer's record and statements in a negative way. I'd be happy to see any substantial evidence you have in his defense, but the fact that you think he's great, I get that. As far as success with a biotech hedge fund, I would think you'd need 1) An enormous amount of self-promotion, 2) A willingness to join the "biotech mafia" - hedge funds that Lissa Morgenthaler said had controlled biotech stock prices for years, except when the early 2000 run-up got away from them. I don't think the top quality posters here would want to do that. They've dispensed world-class advice for years for free in a collegial atmosphere, satisfied with their own gains and that of their friends. If you prefer Cramer's opinion, that's between you and your wallet. Good Luck! Doc
