It's OK to be a trader and trade from hot news, but you've got to use trusted news sources. I mean, the man has a Bloomberg box doesn't he? It would have taken all of 10 seconds to look on the box to verify if the story was real.

All he has is mistakes to share. What about all those great trades he makes, you say? DELL, CSCO, INTC, YHOO, AMZN - yea, I make great paper trades also. But like Cramer, they don't help my *actual* return. The proof is in the return.

Exactly. But this story didn't run on Bloomberg (not the real Bloomberg anyway), it ran on a 'net board. So why pay "gazillion $$$/month" for trusted news sources and completely disregard them?

>> Who are you anyway, "the smart money"?

Compared to Cramer, I am Einstein money.
