I had the same problem with my xbox, and when i sent it out i was mailed back a new system, and since then i have had zero problems. Hope you have the same luck.
Well I never was a Cramerholic. I did watch the show with the understanding it was pure entertainment. But I work in Kuwait and and I only get to watch it when I am home in Texas. Then I found your podcast and it is a delightful and informative alternative. Thank you very much for making my days happier. I was also wanting to know what program you use to write your blog. Thanks again.
I don’t know if you like football, but just for fun what do you think about setting up a survivor football league in Yahoo of fans for the show. Any diversion from the current stock market environment and the urge to trade vs invest is always good right. Anyhow love the show listen every week
Like Jamesp66, I watched JC and then stumbled across this podcast on iTunes. At first (due to the silly people who call in asking for stock tips) I thought this was a Cramer shill. (I think this was the show where the cover was Paul doing his best ‘JC’ in the white shirt.)
Then after listening I began to understand the point of the show. At this point it’s JC’s ‘favorite’ stocks for the year 2.5% and my assorted ETF’s 4% (of course invested primarily in broad market ETF’s).
It is hard to tell when JC is REALLY endorsing a particular stock and w/o subscribing to his $40 a month service, it would be hard to keep a record. Then again if I had 1000 people paying me $40 a month to …. oh well, here’s to dreaming.
Love the show and thought I might pass along a book suggestion. I’m in the middle of reading “Fooled By Randomness”, an EMT must-read and thought you would really enjoy reading it! I’d love to hear what your thoughts are on the book in context of Cramer, IFA, and beating/matching the market!
Keep up the good work!
Does anyone know what is going on with VSE? It seems to be down (very down) for the past two days.
