What I see from the performance site I posted: booyahboyaudit.com is that Cramer has a very mixed track record. It says he has an overall 2% increase since July when they started tracking it... Some good and bad that he liked a lot: Good AMLN - but look he would have had you sell half at 21 just breaking even - now up 38% BBD - up 12% now BTU - up 24% CHK - up 30% CMX - up 10% CX - up 10% ECA - up 21% - but he said scale back when only up 5% ELP - up 22% GME - up almost 10% HOKU - was up 30% HPQ - up 20% HXM - up 11% LGF - up 12% MHS - up 11% MOT - up almost 16% NOV - up 18% PDC - up 14% PWAV - up 11% RVSN - up 12% SWN - up 15% WTR - up 12% Bad BBY down 13% CPST down 11% ILSE down 17% INTC down 8% JCP down 14% JOE down 11% MRH down 20% RGR down almost 9% after having been up 11% day after his reco SWB - down 3% I include this one because it was up 12% then 22% when he continued to say add more Overall - I tried to list just those that he said buy up around 10% so far, or down 10%. I count 21 up, 9 down. Not bad, but look at the many here that he thought were great, that ended up maybe down 3%, no move at all, or a small 3% move up: ADM - has barely gone up ADP - down about as much as ADM up so they cancel out each other AMT and AMTD basically cancel each other out for zero ATK and BA - basically zero CBH Commerce bank sold for zero after all they talk.. CD and CIB basically cancel out CMX I could go on, but you get the idea... Most people will not be able to buy this many stocks, so if you did not buy most of the top 21 listed out of maybe 100-150 here - then you will not see great results. Their analysis shows that if you bought them all - just the ones he recommended, and sold when he told you too - you would be up around 2% since July. Of course there is the time involved, commission costs, etc. so that brings it to dead even zero, IMHO. That's why I try to follow fewer stocks, smaller ones, that are riskier, but can move more, and take profits then...
