China: When you build roads so fast, sometimes you never know what you may run into at the end of the road. A very short story for your Sunday reading.
My take on views expressed by Jim Rogers at a BBN interview on Mar. 18 about the recent currency and trade confrontation between the US and China, the Canadian loonie and the U.S. bond market.

Chef: [singing] Say everybody have you seen my Balls/Theyre big and

suck em.
WOW. I don't know if we all should laugh, cry, or quit the business. I'm speechless. Though, most insiders already know that Jim Cramer for years has been diagnosed with Bi-Polar Disease and has been taking a large amount of drugs for it. So, with this information, should this really be a suprise. The interviewer should of asked him what he thought about Jim Cramer's Bi-Polar disfunction?
Has anyone heard the radio ads hocking Cramer's "action alerts plus" subscriptions? Per his shitty website:
Action Alerts Emails: I’ll email you before every single trade and tell you exactly why I’m making each move so you can learn and become a better investor yourself
by Handle with care on Thu, 10/08/2009 - 14:08 #93243
Easy business as he only needs to write a single email to cover all trades:
"Dear valued investor,
I will be purchasing *** stock tomorrow as its an obscure company, which means none of you actually know anything about the company and its low volume which means it will start rising when all you subscribers start buying after this email arrives.
This allows me to sell the much larger number of shares I bought yesterday at a handsome guaranteed profit.
By losing on this trade you'll learn that the market is rigged by people like me and when your account is empty you'll be a better investor as you'll never again have a losing trade.
Tradeliciously,
Cramer
If you're investing in the stock market and aren't sure who the sucker is, let me be clear, its always you
I heard one the other night on latenight AM talk radio........what an IDIOT!!....he must be getting extrmely desperate. You would think the idiot would just go away after John Stewart reamed him a new one. His ego, apparently, outweighs whatever sense he may have once possessed.
The dude made his money manipulating analysts during the tech bubble. Please, go away.
I know that the people on this site are probably not Cramer's target audience and that his "purpose" is to entertain and educate newbies, but once these guys get just a little bit of insight towards investing they quickly realize he's a clown.... his business model is doomed to fail in the long run no?
I like the formula. They are all going to buy something and it's going to be good for them and maket them alot of money. I think they are all going to buy the farm.
