I am listening to phil again, the more I listen to the guy and how these phonies on CNBC bring these cheerleaders on to pump the market while they dump - the more I like this guy - he is really giving it straight I think. I think I am gonna sign up for his service - even if I don't learn anything new - I will help the kids with cancer - kudos to you Slagle for helping them. He says buy gm and IBM now - they are at lows - I was talking on mish's thread if GM goes into the crapper to get out from under their obligations - who will benefit - shareholders or bondholders - what do you think? This guy is good to listen too: watchdogonwallstreet.com businesstalkradio.net This has a lot of good shows - Mark Seleznov is good - so I have phil - investors edge - mark seleznov and watchdogonwallstreet and puplava on financial sense - these are my picks for honest counters to listen too on your mp3 player to cut CNBC crap.

I have watched Cramer's show about 3 times, and he is able to be pretty negative - down on about 25% to 35% of the stocks mentioned. He also seems to make some pro-cash, pro-dividend statements. The biggest disconnect between Cramer and his audience is Cramer is a short term trader - 3 month time horizon is long for him. What has ticked off a number of tech companies, and big funds is that he would say negative things about popular stocks - often stocks they were trying to unload on the public by having someone pump them. After various investigations, he came out pretty much okay - he was not slamming stocks he had shorted. The people whose stocks were slammed are still angry, and may be a source of some of the negative buzz on Cramer. Being a loud, funny looking guy who jumps around a lot and YELLS makes him easy to dislike - especially if you are trying to run a serious, adult like financial discussion. Whether he has pumped his own book without disclosing is something I will leave to others. Herb Greenberg puts out negative stuff on specific stocks, and he has been consistently attacked. He has also been consistently right about 70% of the time. Herb had a very early negative on Nvidia which got me out before it trippled ;-) How early ? about 4 years.... ****** I would not be surprised if Gary Kaltbaum and some of the other Money Radio people get targeted during the next boom cycle. I guess you can be negative as long as you don't talk about specific stocks or sectors.
