There are a tonne of things that need to be considered before embarking on this type of strategy, which are beyind the scope of this forum. Both shorting and buying stocks based on Cramer's picks can be +EV and -EV depending upon how you implement a strategy.

I'd suggest looking at charts for the week or so before and after he issues his picks and see if you can see any patterns or tendencies emerging. Then you can look for ways to exploit the behaviour of these stocks and develop a basic strategy. It's often about playing the probabilities - just like in poker.

You can then set up a 'play money' account and practice trading.
