Default Re: does cramer make the stock market move?

[ QUOTE ]
seems like when cramer talks about certain stocks theres a good chance they will go up the next day, is this true?

[/ QUOTE ]

As it was mentioned earlier the stocks do shoot up in after-hours trading right away when Cramer make a pick. Typically if you watch the real time ticker on CNBC during the show you will see the stocks he is talking about fly up considerably. Then 15 minutes later the stocks will begin to decline since he has moved on to something else. The next day the stock will drop at opening. Maybe rise a little bit during the morning hours then sell off again in the afternoon. After that it trades as normal.

can u make money based on cramer alone?

<u>You</u> can't. Since you are new to the game do not, and I repeat DO NOT, do any after-hours trading. It is far to risky for an amateur to mess around with after-hours trading. Trying to time the stock the next day is also way out of your league. Once you have had years of trading and stock picking practice and would be comfortable with that type of trading you'll realize you don't need Cramer's recommendations, you can find them on your own.

Cramer is great if he gets you motivated to learn about investing in stocks. He will give you some basic investing tips that are great for newbies. But don't make a trade just because Cramer likes it. You might as well throw darts.
