Jim Cramer Mad Money Review

[SeriousMoney]

JC has MOT in his Charitable Trust along with QCOM!

[NovoMira]

So true..

[SeriousMoney]

So much regret, so little time!

[NovoMira]

Thanks for the info, SM....and the links.

Will check them out later...

BTW, am holding MOT...have had it for a couple of years or more.

[NovoMira]

Thanks SM... I was hoping it was CSC.

I followed them for over a year back in 2000-01. I liked it then but never bought in much to my regret.

[SeriousMoney]

Cramer on AMD...

Thought I heard JC say tonight that AMD was kicking somebody's hiney (INTEL?) because AMD's Opteron chips produce less heat. http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/ProductInformation/0,,30_118_8825,00.html

INTEL has been one of JC's favorites in the tech sector and in his Charitable Trust (AMD is not), but JC is now recommending selling INTC into strength.

Intel (INTC): There has been a complete reversal in the PC chip business, with AMD garnering all the praise and Intel all the criticism. However, I don't think this situation will last forever, and I believe Intel's 2006 product lineup will allow it to take back some market share as well as benefit from the launch of Windows Vista, which will require a powerful computer to run. (JC Action Alert Plus)

You might listen to link to his 12/23/05 Real Money Radio show that usually mirrors his Mad Money on CNBC...

or catch his MadMoney CNBC later tonight.

INTEL also is big backer of WiMAX which will roll out later in 2006, bigtime in 2007. http://www.sci-tech-today.com/story.xhtml?story_id=40395

Can't find anything on AMD WiMax, though they'd be nuts not to develop a WiMax chip. WiMax will replace WiFi and even contend with wireless phone systems in next few years. A big new technology. I've significant investment in Alvarion (ALVR) and Motorola (MOT), both leaders in WiMax technology, in anticipation of WiMax rollout.

Cramer on CSC 12/23/05...

Tiptoe to a Takeover

Cramer's stock pick of the day was Computer Sciences (CSC:NYSE) .

He called it a truly irresistible stock that would make his viewers a lot of money without much risk because it does a lot of government contract work and a lot of outsourcing.

But the real reason Cramer said to buy CSC is because he said it is the ultimate takeover.

"If and when CSC gets bought it will get a serious premium, not like that Hilfiger (TOM:NYSE) nonsense," he said.

This is because Lockheed Martin (LMT:NYSE) was supposed to buy the company, but the deal fell apart because CSC wanted more money.

And in the months since it fell apart, Computer Sciences has scored some of its biggest contracts ever, including a contract with DuPont (DD:NYSE) worth $1.6 billion to $2 billion. There's also a deal in the works with BAE Systems that could be worth over $1.9 billion and its Defense Department orders have risen 20% year-on-year.

Plus, General Dynamics (GD:NYSE) agreed to buy Anteon (ANT:NYSE) , a company similar to CSC; and General Dynamics paid a 30% premium.

CSC is trading below $50 and it'd dead in the water, so Cramer said to buy it now before it's too late.

[NovoMira]

YES! I dislike red sox intensely!

Hey, SM...was Cramer recommending CSC or AMD this evening? I wasn't listening to him but Hubby did and he couldn't remember which one he had recommended highly.

[SeriousMoney]

What, you have a red socks fetish?

[NovoMira]

I should have figured that out for sure.

That name always leave a bad taste in my mouth.

[NovoMira]

I expect if I showed that picture to some of the old-timers around here, they'd know.

[SeriousMoney]

The foul baller was a redsox fan! Someone should've known that!

[SeriousMoney]

Why don't you sign up for the class and then you'll know!

Click and bring your crayolas...

[NovoMira]

Hey...that's really cool.

I wish they had listed their names though. And the date. I'd guess around 1920.

"Normal" is what they called the school back then.

[SeriousMoney]

Probably some local yokels!

Click and play ball...

[NovoMira]

I just showed it to Hubby who follows baseball but he hadn't seen it before either.

[SeriousMoney]

Not sure... don't follow baseball so don't recognize uniforms.

On this guys website... Click for Kuni...

[NovoMira]

Ha! Ha! Where did that happen?

[SeriousMoney]

Foul!!!

[NovoMira]

I just responded to you on the wrong board (it's been a long day).

What happened to Mel "The Teeth" Karmazin's interview with Cramer that SIRI didn't run up ?

what a schmoooooz fest <g>

[SeriousMoney]

Mel's been there before, but this one is very timely... with Santa already starting his act.

Hope JC is putting in some overtime to improve the live audience format. The one with the Donald was pretty weak!

Most of my GOOG is call options so they have a shelf life, some early 2006, some out a ways. That's where I've already hit really big.

My longs are a longterm 2-3 years. Then some comes off the table. Might even pick up some puts for the valleys along he way, but never any shorts.

Why piss in the wind?

[NovoMira]

Yeah...we did. But do you also remember that he contradicted himself one evening when he talked about a particular stock ....don't remember the name of it...that he said he's held in his charity fund...for years!

I don't hold all stocks forever...but I do have a core group...and I have even sold off some of those shares from time to time...like WFC, MO and IBM.

So how long do you hold? Like GOOG...when will you sell?

It's kind of like DELL for me...when they came to market everybody around here (Austin is only about 30 miles from where I live) ...bought the stock. I got in at $7.00...soon it dropped to $5.00 and I almost sold. Well, the rest is history....7 splits. I held it for years...selling some occasionally and finally sold it all about 4 months ago.

Betcha you'll do the same with GOOG....I'll check back with you 5 years from now! ;)

[NovoMira]

I bought and sold only a 100 shares... made a couple of thousand on it in a very short time ...

and then....

and, and....

...oh, I can't....it hurts too much.

[NovoMira]

You did that on purpose!

Grrrrrrr

LOL

I really like that gal, BTW....I think Brad Pitt is a fool.

[SeriousMoney]

I think we've had this talk before. Holding indefinitely has become a sucker's game (no offense). Eventually the pros find a way to get your money. They know the stock will go down and will do whatever to hurry it along until the retail investor finally gives up.

JC is teaching a whole bunch of common folk how to decide to buy what and when, and even the harder lesson of how and when to sell. He's teaching them to buy and do homework! It's not all that hard to select and buy a stock, but it's darn near impossible for many people to sell until most of the value is gone! Funny, but it's just like trying to get rid of all that junk in the garage that you just know you're gonna need someday! Wasn't too hard to buy it though! Human nature!

The pros and shorts and momos and MMs, etc will take advantage of every bit of information like JC's or Tobin Smith's or others recommendations. And the best thing we can do is educate ourselves to the market pitfalls and the likes of these guys (gals). JC is on that mission! Listen to his callers who have made good money on his recos. And I just look at my portfolio that contains GOOG, GME, MOT, AMLN on his reco & lots of homework.

[SeriousMoney]

Heard a lot of people sigh at the mention of BIDU, and I can see why!

[SeriousMoney]

Thought you'd never ask!

CLICK

[NovoMira]

I think he's the greatest thing that ever happened....to short-term or day traders....

BUT for those of us that mostly buy and hold, he's not a favourite.

Frankly, if I had to do it all over again that's what I'd do...become a day trader but I'd have to have an office away from home to be successful, I think.

[SeriousMoney]

JC's worth a bundle. Don't have hard numbers...

Harvard Law school grad but went right to work for Goldman Sacks, learned the game hyper fast!

started & ran successful hedge fund for rich people; (one day was down $90 mil on a $281 mil portfolio, but made $110 bac in next 2 months -- PRESSURE!)

co-founder & major owner of theStreet.com http://www.thestreet.com/

bestselling books, Real Money, others (he tells all);

1 mil+ listeners to his daily Real Money radio show;

< 500K rapid fans CNBC Mad Money (before 60 Minutes);

Would not be surprised to see Cramer Apprentice on CNBC...would be a big hit!

JC's a genius and loves what he's does! Double BOOYAH!

Trust me, he can afford those chairs... and rubber bulls!

Now, that last wonder is gonna cost ya!

[NovoMira]

Hah...betcha Mr. La Monica isn't a senior writer any longer!

Doncha know he will hate himself forever for that article?

I wonder if I should tell you about my experience with BIDU. Hmmmm....Nah! I hate to dredge up a bad memory.

[SeriousMoney]

Aug 19, 2004, GOOG offered @ 85 but opened at 100.

Shares of the No. 1 search engine company closed at $100.34 after they opened at $100, a 17 percent increase from its offering price of $85. More than 22 million shares changed hands on its first day of trading, making Google one of the most actively traded stocks on the Nasdaq. The stock stayed in a fairly tight range throughout the day, hitting a low of $95 and high of $104.06. http://money.cnn.com/2004/08/19/technology/goog/

I wonder what this guy is doing now? http://money.cnn.com/2004/08/11/technology/techinvestor/lamonica/

[NovoMira]

Quit that! What does "GQ" mean?

[NovoMira]

I got the impression he's not in it for the money. Didn't he just walk away from his very successful hedge fund?

An' he keeps talking about his charitable trust...wonder what it's worth!

[NovoMira]

Oh Man....and wasn't the IPO around $80.00? If only I woulda......

;)

[SeriousMoney]

Perhaps he's visiting the GQ Man of the Year!

[SeriousMoney]

His Radio audience is about 1 mil, and his TV is less than 500K.

But his appearance with Mike Wallace exposed him to millions.

BTW....I sent out an SOS to Burp as I'm having 'puter probs but he is ignoring me.

:(

[NovoMira]

YES! That's better. LOL

[NovoMira]

He's so hyper, I swear sometimes I don't think he'll make it through the show.

He's on a big one allright...I think even those who don't invest in the market know who he is.

[SeriousMoney]

As you wish...

[SeriousMoney]

He took Pop's advice! JC was killing himself! But the guy is literally a genius in my book! And genius loves a mission! And he's on a big one now!

[NovoMira]

Hah! I think I would too! I saw Google go past $400 earlier today. What was the close?

[NovoMira]

Wait a minute....I thought it was a chocolate drink!

[SeriousMoney]

Getting me into GOOGLE @ 250 pps? I forgive him!
