  1. tcampbell2186  Hahaha. Indeed.  Yeah just about every other time that I buy a spec for a trade without doing due diligence I get spanked too.  :-)

  2. +olli tuovinen It depends. He was clearly wrong about KMX but he was right on target for the "FANGs" (FB, AMZN, NFLX and GOOG, take a look at those over the last 24 months) that he promoted starting about two years ago with 100 times the conviction he had for KMX or anything else. Had you done the opposite you would be in a world of pain. That's the nature of markets, no one is right or wrong all the time and only damn fool children think that there is anything remotely akin to a sure bet. Otherwise just bet against everything he promotes and make a fortune for yourself.

  3. +Alexandre Milandro One bad call or even a hundred does not define a man who expresses that many opinions on the average day. Only idiots think ANY prediction is a sure thing it is up to you to sort it out and take responsibility for your decisions and sources. He pushed the "FANG" group hard for the first half of last year, far harder then anything else he talked about, and you would have profited exceptionally well being long that group over over that time frame. One could select only his winners and make him look like a genius or just his losers and make him appear to be completely inept, either conclusion is damn foolish.

  4. tcampbell2186  Yeah he's often wrong about a particular show featured stock but he has been right on target concerning those that he has persistently focused on again and again.  Had he convinced you a little over a year ago to get into FB, GOOG, NFLX and AMZN when he first promoted them (if I remember correctly), you would have done very well even though the market as a whole was flat for the year. I just added substantially to both my FB and GOOG positions just a few days to hours before they reported earnings and gained 18 and 11% respectively since then, hard to beat results like that...in part due to Cramer's input although the timing in this instance was the result of other sources.   Cramer has backed off on those four above in recent months as they have run up so much last year but he was sure right to push them in late 2014 and the first half of 2015.

  5. Transparent Motives   Fine.  That's YOUR loss.  I learn from dozens of sources including JC and they all help me a lot or I wouldn't keep coming back. I could care less if he has direct skin in, he does indirectly in a big way, sorry if you can't grasp that.  But ultimately he is useful, informative in some fashion or not.  You don't know how to benefit from him then DON'T bother with it.  If it was a given that any stock(s) would double in two years, the opportunity wouldn't be there in the first place.  SHEESH.  Get real. Did YOU double or triple your dough on the FANGS???  A lot of others did.  I only got in late and only had conviction in GOOG and FB, they are up nice to very nice in less than a year.  NFLX I could never understand so I never put money on it, missed it and that's ok.  AMZN I believe in long term but only trade it a bit due to extreme valuation....I will buy for medium to long term one day I expect. Lagging indicator?...again...it depends, look at the FANGs two years ago to later 2015 when he stopped promoting the group but still behind the G and the F to a limited extent.  Again he's been right on target for those. And I could make a list that makes JC look brilliant or retarded depending on cherry picking his best or worst calls.  If you think ANYONE is going to be more accurate then a Long Range weather forecast with stocks your far too simple for the stock market.  Stay away, it's for responsible adults only.

  6. Transparent Motives   It wasn't for useless children like yourself obviously, there are occasional adults here believe it or not.
