LOL, good one Allan. Cramer is pretty bad. I'd be currious about Tobin Smith's tip letter's track record. Then what about Lebed? lebed.biz I'm on his mail list and I swear you could make a living just trading his tips. Skipping the first week after a tip of course. He has to get his front running done you know. :) Sorry for junking up your blog, but Lebed's past picks are quite amazing. Look at the 200 day gains, a mark of a true value pick.

Ronny, google: Hindenberg omen. The first non-confirming happened April 7. You are correct at worrying about a tipping point.

Ronny -- I have spent 20+ years looking at traditional technical indicators like new lows, tyring to find some edge vis a vis market timing, with little success. Maybe its me, maybe its the indicators, or some combinaton thereof--I prefer something completely novel these days to earn my attention.

"best of breed" what does that mean? the guy beats the market almost every year and he lags for a quarter and you bust his balls? And what is the Russell doing on that list? How is the Russell composed anything like Cramers Portfolio?
The S&P is up about 5.4% on the year, Cramer's up 3.8. ho-hum is it really worth posting about?
Where is the empirical data that suggests buying "best of breed" is any better then buying anything else, including "worst of breed?" After reading the book written by his "disgruntled employee," Trading With The Enemy, one discovers that much of Cramer 's hedge fun success derived from preferential treatment and information from big brokerage houses with which his fund was doing business. But on a level playing field, i.e. Action Alerts Plus, Cramer is no better then an index, take your pick. Now he's a celebrity, fair game.
