March 14th, 2006 at 8:54 pm » Comments (1)

Wow, how time flies when you’re making money having fun. Tonight is the one year anniversary of Jim Cramer’s Mad Money show on CNBC. Tune in at 6, 9, or 12 and find out what he has cooked up. (Probably some Bear Stew based on today’s market!) Then come back here and comment on the […]

Put this one on my list of next possible obsessions: Taking up juggling…



Time for some listener feedback

March 2nd, 2006 at 10:10 pm » Comments (0)

I’ve added a poll to the sidebar. It asks you to select the segment(s) of the Mad Money Machine show that you like. (Similar to voting for the American Idols you like.) And I’ve even added the option to say you don’t like the show. Find another pollster that will do that!
Obviously, you’d needed […]



Revisiting the Cramer Crackle

February 9th, 2006 at 12:02 am » Comments (2)

On January 25th I wrote a blog entry called “2006’s Biggest Cramer Crackle!” I was referring to Rediff.com (REDF). It jumped up 29% in price on the next opening day. I was actually assuming that the thing would settle back down. Glad I didn’t predict that it would because it actually is UP 60.2% […]

2006’s Biggest Cramer Crackle!

January 25th, 2006 at 10:00 am » Comments (1)

Today, Wednesday (actually during yesterday’s after-hours trading) we saw one of the largest Cramer Crackles (the difference between the closing price and the opening price after a Cramer mention) since the first Mad Money episode aired. Did you get some? Cramer pumped Rediff.com as the Yahoo, nay the Google, of India. He mentioned it at […]



Two Roads Diverged

January 18th, 2006 at 12:12 am » Comments Off

The two portfolios in the Portfolio Smackdown! diverged today. The ETF portfolio suffered hits from the Asia (VPL) and Emerging Market (VWO) downturns today, -2.7% and -1.9% respectively. While the MMM Cramer 2006 portfolio rose due to strength in the energy sector. Nabors (NBR) rose 1.9% and Talisman (TLM) rose 2.37%. Bottom line: the ETFs […]

ENG Downgraded, IBD Free

January 11th, 2006 at 11:23 pm » Comments Off

The MMM Cramer 2006 portfolio slipped today while the ETF posted a small gain, slightly narrowing the gap. Mostly due to an analyst downgrade from Buy to Neutral of Englobal (ENG). We’ll see how that works out. Let’s take half off the table tomorrow at 10:30. Might swap that half into Nabors (NBR), but I […]



10.3%

January 10th, 2006 at 11:56 pm » Comments Off

Dude, 6% return on your money is OK, right? 8% return in a year is pretty good. 10% these days is really nice. Well, after 6 trading days the MMM Cramer 2006 portfolio is up 10.3% already! Pretty fantastic for a diversified portfolio!
As I mentioned previously, I swapped out of Cynosure (CYNO) today and into […]



Adjustments

Swapping CYNO for PMTI in the 2006 portfolio. JNJ is no longer common.



Me, the fan. Without the plug.

January 8th, 2006 at 2:40 pm » Comments Off

I’m mentioned briefly in an article about Jim Cramer’s Mad Money show. I told the reporter about my (at the time upcoming) website and podcast too, but sadly it didn’t get a mention. At least she got my quote right! But I think I also mentioned something about investing being a normally dry topic and […]



Party like its 1999!

January 6th, 2006 at 11:04 pm » Comments Off

A market that acts like this makes one giddy. Ah memories of 1999 all over again. I’m liking 2006 already. MMM Cramer portfolio up 6.7%, ETF portfolio up 4.0%.

Holy Cow! Whatta move today for GME. up 11.5% for the day and 17.3% since the 12/30 close. December comp same store sales up 8.7%. Lots of other good news there. Should we RING THE REGISTER NOW? or let ‘er ride??? Perhaps a trader would sell now and buy it back again slightly lower, […]



Love days like today

January 4th, 2006 at 7:21 pm » Comments Off

Oh my, what a great day to be in the market. Kinda makes you wish you didn’t have anything at all in cash. Have a look at how well the MMM Cramer portfolio did compared with the ETF portfolio today. Nice energy spike, huh?
Hey, while I’m here I have a favor to ask: would you […]



Overwhelming Response, Thanks!

December 21st, 2005 at 3:45 am » Comments (2)

The first Mad Money Machine podcast is only 48 hours old now, but the response has been absolutely overwhelming! I am flabbergasted by the amount of attention this thing is getting and so soon. We addicts are finding a community I can tell. I will work my hardest to keep improving both the quality of […]
