Am I missing something? Not the first time I come across, that 85%-90% of options expire worthless, however still a lot of people are taking a chances in this dangerous game. can someone explain it to me, what makes it so attractive. I understand to double or triple your profit, but does it pays to take such a high risk?

Yes; early Jan he swore off ALL tech stocks, ALL tech was dead ! gone ! over with !. Now he is recomending AOL, but he was at one time the strongest of the AOL shorters. Now he is fun to watch, and with thoes bugy type, buldging eyeballs he could make a lot of money in Hollywood. Maybe we should start a Cramer fan club on SI and see what kind of rating he gets. :-) His high dollar comercial really cracks me up, There he is marching down a closed Wall street on Sunday, with his trench coast on, and tips us all off with a big revalation when he jumps at the camera shouts "It's Monday in Japan"..now that is what I call real brilliant, I wonder when he figured that out..W0ow, Sunday here Monday in Japan ? who could have ever thought of that except the Mighty Cramer..<ggg> Man I just got it, a TOY ..yes a Cramer doll..that talks.. but like ranting and raving about the crazy stock market, Short , BUY , SELL HIDE..ASK my wife..and when it talks make the eyes glow and get big and pop forward..yes I think it would be a hit, and I know how to market it too..every time there is an IPO , we get the company to order a Cramer dummy for each person who buys in..and we drop ship for them..to the new suckers..as a promotional gimick..we have a programable chip in it that starts off with I'm the Sucker who just bought ABZ or what ever..who are you dummy ? Man this thing could get so popular that CNBC could make it their main attraction and get rid of thoes clowns they are paying all that big money to.. Jim P.S. can u e-mail this to CNBC for me. They won't accept mail from me any more..:-)
