no. you should never listen to just one source. most money in the stock market doesn't listen to him.

I read his recent book in which he did say that some of the stocks he promotes, the smaller cap ones, typically have a small bounce in afterhours trading when not-so-smart viewers put in market orders to buy.

You'd get a tidy ransom if you kidnapped him.

Cramer is for entertainment and little of what he says it tradeable, just like CNBC.

Don't bother with tips or tipsters.

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.

<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.

more generally, has anybody seen any studies of a mock portfolio's performance of following cramer's buy/sell recommendations since he started doing this?

thanks,

I vaguely remember reading about a TV or radio show some years back that made stock picks. I seem to remember that a wise guy somehow gained knowledge of which stocks were going to be touted on the show and bought them beofre the show aired and then sold them after the stocks were touted. Does anyone have any knowledge or a link to this?
