For better or worse..In retirement and even before that I've been a CNBC addict. Since before the crash I've been in the game...the crash kinda fucked it all up..volotiltiy we had never seen before ..and the total shock of the crash..I didnt trust the market for too long after that little nuke dropped. Cramer has his educational aspect that has benefited a lot of home gamers. He outs himself for a few bad calls and even though he's hard to listen to for any length of time..I for one learned a few things from him.
I got my ass kicked the first few years..but trying to be smarter at it if I want to make this more than just gambling. Flash trading, algos, big market maker sells and buys can take you OUT....even Cramer devulged that a hedge fun can take a stock down or up at will. So you have to find the volume and darling affect and ride it for a while. We all should have loaded up on the obvious but ignored stocks like Amazon, FB, Appl, NFLX..etc ..good news is there will be giant killers coming down our road..
