   Long time listener, first time writer. Am a fan of the show but not a fan of the new evolving showman format. Don’t like the added musical interlues & theatrics — makes the show go on too long, too many pauses in the action. Liked the show more when it wasn’t so slickly over-produced. Like Letterman before he went to CBS… Keep up the good work (and retreat back to the basics!)

   Thanks for the constructive criticism. I was driving home listening to someone else’s podcast and one of the guys on the show was so lame I was considering writing to them to tell them get rid of the guy. But I couldn’t figure out a nice way to email something like that without sounding like a hatemonger or ranter.

   Then I thought, wow, I hope people feel like they are able to send me things they don’t like about the MMM. And whaddya know, adokmano comes through.

   Which show have I done that wasn’t slickly over-produced though? Or should I say “sickly-overproduced?”

   Perhaps I should do a poll on which SHOW people liked best so far?

   Just wanted to let you know that your show is making it all the way to New Zealand down here in the South Pacific. I think you show is great, and a good mixture of comment together with excellent music. One question – Cramer makes so many recommendations how do you define what is in his portfolio and how do you decide when something is sold from his portfolio? Thanks and keep up the great work – Mark

   Hey markf, I need you on the MMM Map to represent NZ!

   To make the Cramer portfolio, I first used his ten categories that he defined on his show last August. Then I selected from the most recent of his highly recommended stocks from each of those categories. I have sold either after a big gain (so we’re not a hog) or after a big loss (if we need to take it for tax purposes and then swap into something else that will hopefully go up) or when he says SELL.

   Obviously, I haven’t picked the right ones! Hopefully the rest of 2006 will be kind to the Cramer portfolio.

   BTW: I’ll also accept feedback from the MMM faithful to help decide which stocks to buy and sell.

   I liked this the best of all your shows so far. The sound levels were great. Don’t mind the music if it doesn’t detract from the content. The contect of this show was great. I was hoping to see all the links in your shownotes for all the tools you mentioned. I suppose I could go back through the shows but it would be nice to consolidate them here.

   PDB — enjoy the shows as always. I’m just overlaying some personal preference & opinion, in that one of the things I liked most about your initial shows was the wealth of info covered a a good pace in a short period of time. Then some recent shows went a bit longer and I noticed how I could not listen to your entire show during my work commute anymore due to added content of music, etc. Also the music, which was good, seemed to allow me to stray from my “game face” of “concentration” on the show content, etc. That’s all! This may sound too harsh but I come to your show to hear great investment info-tainment, and I go to other shows to hear music w/o talk… BUT I liked the golf investment analogy, as there was an investment lesson involved in that, a unique way of adding content w/o straying from your theme?? Just some opinions! Keep up the good work!!
