If Cramer could dispense with the screaming little rodent persona, I might actually be able to stomach watching him again. OTOH, there is an equal chance I will run a marathon one day, or win the Kentucky Derby. ;<)

i have the same feeling, lucky to get out with a decent gain, and just don't like the smell of it, in cases like this it comes down to two things for me: 1) if i didn't own the stock, would i be a buyer right now knowing what i know? 2) can i sleep at night owning this stock? in this case #1 is definitely no and #2 is basically i sleep better without such a holding, so my choice is to sell...just my approach, works for me <g> as for cramer, there are some things that he says that make sense, but to me his delivery and the fact that he isn't consistent overshadow the positives...add to this his association and therefore implied approval of herbie's tactics, and i have to give the guy a thumbs down...i used to think he must be a great trader when he would appear on cnbc and talk about various stocks and his trades, but as time has gone on it appears to me that he's just another guy who loves to hear himself talk (yell) and wants you to think he has all winning trades...sorry, i'm a seller of that as well JMHO of course
