I would think any information leaked out about what he will be talking about violates some type of SEC regulations. The only people that probably know what he will talk about on the show are the researchers he uses, himself and his graphics staff. They probably can't trade those stocks either, just like him 5 days before and after he mentions it. I just doubt you'll ever know exactly what he will be talking about on the show unless you know someone that works on the show and they are willing to lose their job to mention stocks to you.
It seems to me that the information on what stocks he will discuss is dissimenated. Are the callers really that prescient? They are always able to come up in a split second with a relevent response and question about an Unknown stock? Please, Bill form New Mexico was not on hold and decided to amplify Cramers comments on AFFX or whatever..

Haven't posted in a while. Attached is the spreadsheet, not too good a month in December, but we're still up for the month and in total. How about that Hansen call from november?
Realized Gains: $7,039 Unrealized Gains: $ 95 Total: $7,135 Commissions: $ (450) Net: $6,684 Currently holding 19 positions for $95,000. Max buying power used in plan $125,000. Return so far: 6,684/125,000 = 5.35% Winning %: 52.27% Win/Loss Ratio: 2.12:1 December has been a tough month, a lot of stocks not moving which makes the buying power used in the plan increase, which I'd rather not happen. He's only had really one good call this month and that was SPWR, everything else has just been stagnant. Hopefully he picks up the pace for 2006. Attached is the sheet
Realized Gains: $7,169.66 Unrealized Gains: $ 880.38 Total: $8,050.05 Commissions: $ (462.56) Net: $7,587.49 Currently holding 20 positions for $100,000. Max buying power used in plan $125,000. Return so far: 7,587.49/125,000 = 6.07% Winning %: 50% Win/Loss Ratio: 2.15:1 The month of December continues to be tough. We are slightly beating the indexes. Attached is the spreadsheet.
Just curious... everytime you post a spreadsheet and positions your maximum buying power increases, from $60K to $85k to $125K. Are you just adding more and more money on top of the original money? If so then the returns need to be calculated on the average capital to be more accurate. Also, if you are adding more and more capital to add more and more stocks, you are eventually creating a kind of index portfolio. Mainly just curious as to why the dollar invested keeps increasing and increasing cause that is just putting more and more money at risk instead of starting out with just $100k and seeing how much you can make on the $100k.
Interesting how Cramer said "Don't Buy" LLL on his show earlier in the week . . . and low and behold the stock has rallied from $70.80 to $75.50 as of today. He used to be a big fan of LLL, telling everyone that would listen to BUY it below $75.00 back in November. It dips under $75.00 and Cramer changes his mind to a "Don't Buy". Nothing has changed whatsoever in the last month to warrant such a change in opinion. He eludes to the Quadrennial Defense Budget Review in February of '06, yet this has been well known for quite some time. In my opinion, Cramer lacks a lot of credibility.
More capital needed to be added this month because some of the stocks he mentioned didn't move enough. I guess you can say its an index portfolio, but of cramer picks, I don't see the problem with that. I'm not going to calculate the average amount used I will just use the maximum amount used in the market as the overall capital used, technically I guess my return should be higher than 6% because the 125 was only in the market for a couple days then it went back down to 100k. Basically in these two months you would have needed 125k to make the $7500, that is basically what I'm saying in this journal by using 125k. Hope that answers your question.
