Yes, this is a very good article. Jim Cramer has written some very good articles that give intelligent and clearly communicated information about the market. I find that some of the information he reveals in his articles can not be found elsewhere. Also IMO Jim has definitely improved his articles in a significant way and now is writing articles more consistently that I find worthwhile to read. He does have allot of valuable information to impart to the reader that he can draw from his experiences in the market. Perhaps he has been going through a learning curve in how he communicates his knowledge to the rest of us? He does get carried away at times. I think he is a person who is very proud person who is very proud of his own and his wife's accomplishments, which I understand. I see him as being very committed to anything he places his attention on such as his management of his hedge fund and TSC. I think at times this comes out in the form of passion in his articles. I do think he spends too much time in his articles talking about himself and his wife, and his personal "issues" with the players in the market. I can understand the latter since I think anyone who has been trading in the market for a lengthy period of time would tend to be cynical. However, he has substantially improved in these areas of his writing too. I particularly like his rewrite of key articles that were originally written by him earlier in the week. Between this and other actions on his part like his response to complaints from his subscriber base, I do think this is a very committed person who when given feedback and time will deliver a very good product. That is why I have resubscribed to TSC. There is aspects of TSC that have always been worthwhile to read like articles by Gary Smith and others. However, I think Jim Cramer's passion for the markets will always get the best of him in how it will at times show up in his future articles. This is just the kind of person that he is. Everyone has their own idiosyncracies. I think it is worthwhile to look beyond this to see the value a person has in what they can contribute to others. Just my opinion. Comments welcome. Bob Graham
