Setting your money on fire is more fun than following Cramer's advice.

WTF WaMu up 20%

Posted by guest , Jul 31, 2008 2:59PM

Cramer declaring the market has bottomed is so Tuesday. Last night Cramer was in a cheerful, skippy mood because the market had rallied two days in a row.

Cue Jimi Hendrix. Manic ... depression ... is a frus-tra-ting mess!

months ago?

Will someone explain to me how could the market have bottomed as long as the SEC has protected certain financial companies from short sellers (and not just naked short sellers. Anecdotal evidence suggests that some Banks are not executing ANY short trades on the "protected few")
Moreover, how about the continued presence of the discount window (now open until Jan 2009 - merry christmas?).
As long as these "special protections" exisit there can be no REAL bottom.

WaMu didn't sell 6% to UK hedge fund. The UK hedgefund bot that stock in the open market averaging down on a position that Toscafund started on when WaMu was $40. Yes they spent $500 million averaging down, but they did so in the open market and WaMu got NOTHING.

Toscafunds performance this year is about -35% to -40%.

WaMu CANNOT rally issue stock due to the ratchet clause contained in their $8.50 financing.

Was I the only one watching about 7 months ago when that clown declared the so-called sub prime problem wasn't a problem at all and was limited to a couple of guys at a corner desk made a bad bet on a few mortgages.
Could anyone have been further removed from reality.
More Cool Aid please

Cramers blog title on his site is "Yeah, So? It's Some Profit-Taking". That tells you all you need to know.

hi #11,

gm bonds (senior stuff) appear to me to be a screaming buy here.

49 cents on dollar yields you like 17%.

so you either double your money every 4 years

or

you're buying a cheap warrant/option on a restructuring IPO.

obama already tipped his hand that GM will get bailed out the gubment.

so there's your insurance.

Posted by guest , Jul 31, 2008 4:13PM

being a bondholder gives you like superhero powers.

you can petition for a liquidation of assets.

which is why they always wind up "bribing" the bondholders with lots of extra equity.

which you promptly sell of course.

you get some nice legal tax benefits here as well.

Gotta love senior secured debt.

There are more false bottoms to this market than in a shoplifter's bag collection.

Posted by guest , Aug 01, 2008 1:14AM

Cramer appeared a little embarassed tonight, but gamely declared that he wasn't going to let a 200+ drop in the Dow deter him from thinking the bottom had been reached.

Posted by guest , Aug 01, 2008 5:59PM

@33

Isn't tha is counter to what a "bottom"
