" Try for an observation that's more than two millimeters deep." i've heard it said that knowledge is a process of piling up facts; wisdom lies in their simplification. you sound very knowledgeable to me. " Cramer...is short...and holds puts...Do you think they are right? Cramer said...and implied that... Right or wrong? Cramer likes...Good...or bad? How about...what do you make of that?" stop! wait! hold it! enough already! i don't care anything about what he said. it has never been my position to argue for or against his stock picking ability. i have elaborated on this very thread my reasons for finding this man objectionable. more specifically, however, it is my belief that his electronic rag will suffer if he does not work on the subscriber retention (i.e. customer relations) end of the business. not going to unearth that gory story again, either. additionally, i have taken the position that he is laughable (your endearing term, clown, comes to mind) when he lapses into his macho-military jargon. numerous examples of him bayoneting his detractors, who have lobbed a grenade into his foxhole, and who should be blowtorched, as he unsheaths against the world, abound. so, i am not here to discuss with you whether or not he has picked something correctly. "In other words, you are simply talking your position, and not very well. I hope you don't pick your stocks like that or you are going to get killed." i forgive you for this statement. oh, one last thing. don't condemn the judgment of another because it differs from your own. you may both be wrong.
