I have followed Jim Cramer ever since he was appearing with Larry Kudlow. For the last year particularly, I have followed his investment advice and strategies and my portfolio has made a very good recovery from the market decline. My confidence level is such that I am trading based on his under-valued stock selections, and have gotten into the habit of taking profits when feasible instead of letting everything ride. It has proven to be a winning strategy for my investments. I think he has insight and experience that give him a good overview of the changing market, which has prompted me toabandon the buy and hold strategy.

His advice should be taken very, very lightly. He is advising people to gamble with their future and most people don't have a clue. To listen and act on Cramer's advice is probably the worst thing the average investor could do! Turn him off!Tue, 20 Oct 2009 13:45:44 GMT | vette05

Jim is the best thing that has happen to "regular folk" who have been abused by brokers for years. They are his biggest criticts becasue people are not using them anymore. His advise is spot on and I would bet his record against any and I mean any stock broker in this great land! Boohya Jim keep up the good work! Mikey for chicagoWed, 21 Oct 2009 10:56:54 GMT | mikeyj

Booyah. Jim has many excellent ideas and thoughts on this market. That being said, it is still the responsibility of the listener to do his homework and see if Jim's advice is suitable for his situation.Thu, 22 Oct 2009 05:42:07 GMT | dnoble

Hey vette05,If you listen to Jim's comments you'd realize that all his picks aren't winners but he consistently implores you TO DO YOUR HOMEWORK. Your losses are your own fault. You're not paying Jim to run your portfolio.

I have watched JC for years. JC is an entertainer not a financial guru. Not until just recently has he advised everyone to "do their homework". Why? Many have gotten burnt by buying what he recommends. The masses were ready to "tar and feather" him so now he says "do your homework" . Has anyone ever watched the "after-hours ticker" when he recommends a stock? The sheep follow and the stock skyrockets and then gets slammed by the end of the regular trading day. Watch JC for entertainment but do home own homework. As with anything else in life its " BUYER BEWARE" !!Tue, 03 Nov 2009 11:02:25 GMT | barry_gordy

I have watched J C in the past for 8+ years and still try to catch him. Back then pre push middle class to lower class years the p and b are the same in push above! Know for the people that do not know the market well this insite into the whole market world is great for a hour and listen into other areas if a wider mind set is needed.But when i had a job of 20+years my 401K had added up a bit even with a worthless ex on pay out day. In the time i worked with his help the most and other info i gained in a market that i could not just pick a stock but dealt with the 401K confines and i had never thought even after 911 put your head in the sand code whatever color there after a mall i still made dam good money. And for anybody to say all of a sudden he says do your home work is 2 beers short of a six pack because he has siad over the years to listen to conference calls and is that not homework so its been awhile for me to take in jim but i would think that there is a button for tards like yourself. How about when he tells you to watch before you jump into the stocks he tells you about, and the disclousure that his trust is in or not so bottom line if you want help or need help just watch and if you have time to push buttons here dont you have time for homework! By the way 6 years after anchor #1 i thought i found love she said my money was mine and my kids ha ha **bleep** took me for 35,000 for three years half of what i made from 3 years of jim thanks jim the bank and savings is what hurt the most ready cash is hard coin,401K is play money till a age.Rock there socks jim just stay away from late night shows there in another world a wont let you grab the control of the cart.And yes i have never meet or been a part of the show or T.V. just a factory rat looking for gold the way life was to be. Remember JED BUSH S&L your next gop.Wed, 04 Nov 2009 08:25:57 GMT | 1person

crameris smart, but the set up to the show is like the price is right. get the viewers in. like any thing in life you must put time in everyday to acheive your goals, ie hard work pays off. currently we are in a liquidity, carry trade. flows and technicals are the real trade. we are past value plus the leaders of this mkt has been stocks that should have gone out of business. this tells me if the technical story is correct, which will be healthy a unwind by funds in the carry trade will reverse dollars,stocks gold by year end, but overall a very good year, from depths of dispair. going forward the deflation fear will keep rates low and the game will continue for banks. but sometime in the second half of 2010 if timed short rates will go up to force lending to consumers and small business if not the engine of this country small business will get killed by health care and no financing.this game of saving banks the granting them thr right to print money is wrong, the only way it is justified is that the core is rotten and future problems will exist for years. 2 things that will set us back far back. the game continues causing not a credit bubble but a bubble similar to tech stocks, second the dollar gets destroyed and superinflation takes the drivers seat in the future. if planned the rate rise late 2010 early 2011 will pull the market back to fair value in bkx and solid companies will take the rotation. maybe a mini recession sets in but very short which will produce sound footing 5 years out.

When 3COM (coms) was bought by HP, the knuckleheads on Smart Money said 'nobody saw that coming'. Well Cramer may not have saw the aqusition coming but he certainly talked up their outstanding balance sheet 2 weeks before it happened. I loaded up on the 5 dollar stock on Jim's recomendation and the 7.98 a share purchase was a very nice hit for me and that wasn't the first time Jim's made me money and it won't be the last. Youda Man JC! Booya!!Tue, 24 Nov 2009 07:03:56 GMT | Victura
