Jim Cramer On The Only Conference Call Worth Listening To

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Excerpted from Jim Cramer's book "Get Rich Carefully", 2013:

"The only conference call you will ever need," according to Jim Cramer, is Caterpillar, it "is my gospel, my go-to call on which many of my decisions are based... I trust Caterpillar's long-term vision... it is a superb evaluator of what's happening in each of the countries it sells in and gives you the most thorough description of each economy." As Cramer concludes, "Caterpillar's the primer, the sopurce for your global outlook..."

So...

 

Now what?

Blanchflower says mid 2016, earliest for Fed move... 2020 for Brits.  Deflation...

"Deflation.". Yeah, right.  Where?

 

An awful lot of large caps have become small caps...in particular in the mining space.  ABX up big on the move higher in gold/collalpse of the Canadian dollar.

 

If the entire Middle East is about to explode (again) why wouldn't I be buying shale drillers...or at least some of their debt?

 

Now the Fed is saying " patience"?  That sounds to me like a bunch of whining industrialists are at it again.

 

The Fed will never raise rates.

 

EVER.

 

You'll be paying twenty bucks for a 2x4 before they'll ever even consider it.

I once worked with a girl that had to work a case of trouble after one of many reorganizations that threw AR techs in the reorg. He was pissed & got fugly with her.

She said "Get used to it Jimmy Crack Corn Mutherfuker". I don't know when I laughed harder in that corporate sweatshop.

<== I'd rather listen to Marshawn Lynch

<== I'd rather listen to Jim Cramer

 

PHOENIX -- Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll celebrates his players' "uniqueness," and running back Marshawn Lynch certainly stood apart from his teammates Tuesday, even as he faced a $500,000 fine from the NFL.

Marshawn Lynch was threatened with a $500,000 fine by the NFL if he failed to make himself available on Super Bowl media day, according to a source.

During the annual Super Bowl media day, Lynch answered every question with some variation of "I'm here so I won't get fined." He occasionally changed the delivery but stuck to his script.

Lynch stayed at his designated podium for 4 minutes, 51 seconds -- over an hour less than all his teammates and coaches -- and was asked 29 questions. At the 4:51 mark, he said "time," stood up and walked away from the microphone.

Shareholder value uber alles.  I suspect that the uber capitalists here on ZH would agree with Milton Friedman's edict that the goal of all corporations is to maximize shareholder value.  So, why hold on to cash when times are good - spend it or give it back to the owners MF would say.  So, if I were a fracker spending billions to produce more oil but have a positive cash flow in 2013, what should I do?  Pay for exploration with borrowed money and return all profit to shareholders, or, might I wish to sit on a large share of profits so I might pick off my dumbass competitors that did the former when times get tough?  Ditto for CAT.

There is a transloading yard just down from my office that CAT uses to prime their exports on flat racks for ocean transport mostly to the NE Asia.

What was a beehive of activity is pretty much been dead for the last few months. Granted we have labor and congestion issues at the ports in PNW.

But PRC slowdown is undoubtedly hitting them big time. You can read all the Q reports I suppose but what you see with your own eyes it typically unvarnished truth.

Take O&E out of the picture and the USSA eCONomy is comatose.

Let me give you Mr. Jim Cramer Hedge Fund background in 2000.

He was one of the first to get a margin call on his Hedge Fund. Thus he was saved from massive losses. He was so levered up when it went the other way he was first to get called.

Cramer says a lot of interesting and correct things. He says you should really listen to conference calls. Listen to Best Buy and pay attention to what they're saying. What products are people buying, what products are people not buying. 

I'm guessing most conference calls involve a lot of crying right now.

Man, the discussion went off track onto slamming Kramer, not that he is not slammable...

But, the idea is good. Why I put Oshkosh up above.

Even so, all indicators we have seen on  ZH over the last months demonstrate a Big Slowdown.

We have Baltic Dry Index, (low) oil crashing- that is the Big Key to me. How is anyone gonna buy equipment if they default on their bonds? Hell, they won't even stay in business. The Saudis and cohorts can buy these shale jobbers up on the cheap later when oil goes back up.

 

It really seems like the wheels which we know have been loose are now actually starting to fall off, but always remember TPTB have lots of Tricks.
