Haim, Who the *&%# are you? James Cramer is a guy who runs a hedge fund, appears on television, has one of the best investment web sites, is a frequent speaker to gatherings of who's who, and seems to be a multi millionaire. And you come off, like a lot of other posters here, like an arrogant idiot. What have you ever accomplished? And what risks have you ever taken to put yourself out there? And I hear your free speech blah blah blah argument coming on, but I still maintain you sound like an arrogant jerk (like some others here). When I see you on CNBC Squawk Box, maybe the weight of your opinion will be more than the weight of a 1/4 thimblefulls of J.C.'s. BTW, years ago, before Cramer was so visible, I used to subscribe to New York magazine just to read his articles, and that's the only part of the mag I read, and he was dead on. Go back and read some of the archives of Wrong! and you'll see how right he is.

<<BTW I like very much Jimmy Rogers approach>> The Jimmy Rogers approach?? You mean being constantly bearish over the last several years but at the same time talking about how much money he is making? He's like all the other perma-bears that 3 times a week call for a market crash in hopes that eventually they'll be right so they can be proclaimed the next market guru. How these guys can get on TV is beyond me -- obviously they're not following their own advice or they would have been busted a long time ago. I never could understand why people "like very much <that> approach" -- I guess fear sells! Personally, I'd much rather listen to someone like Cramer who puts his money where his mouth is and will fess up to being wrong more than once a millenium...buy hey, if your're impressed with all the profits(??) Rogers has been making by being long gold and short bonds, be my guest!! Cheers, Wade
