world unexpected investors
A good investor in this new world knows to always expect the unexpected.
fire momentum playing-with-fire
But be very, very careful, because when you're playing with momentum, you're playing with fire.
mean giving credit
I mean that what makes me a professional, but the market itself has been fabulous during this whole period and I've got to give the market credit before I give myself credit.
people buying knows
The people who are buying stocks because they're going up and they don't know what they do, deserve to lose money.
opportunity games long
As long as you enjoy investing, you'll be willing to do the homework and stay in the game. That's why I try to make the show so entertaining, because if you aren't interested, you'll either miss the opportunity to make money in the market or not pay enough attention and end up losing your shirt.
fashion clothes car
There are tons of people who are late to trends by nature and adopt a trend after it's no longer in fashion. They exist in mutual funds. They exist in clothes. They exist in cars. They exist in lifestyles.
beautiful mean numbers
I mean it's the most objective industry in the world. If your numbers stink, you're out. If your numbers are good, you get more money. It's the most Darwinian, it's beautiful, it's brutal, it works.
hard-work tree wish
I wish it grew on trees, but it takes hard work to make money.
optimistic conviction
We are all wrong so often that it amazes me that we can have any conviction at all over the direction of things to come. But we must.
stupid saving doe
Every once in a while, the market does something so stupid it takes your breath away
analysis analyst cost extremely sector
If I can't be entertaining, no one will watch, ... The kind of sector analysis that I do is not only extremely responsible but probably much better than your broker or analyst does, and that would have cost you a fortune.
teach
I'm not just here to tell you about stocks. I'm here to teach you to think like Cramer!
american-businessman build country easy hard homes mean people saving stocks
I mean homes are very easy to build and buy. But I think that the idea of saving for stocks is a hard thing that people in this country have embraced.
believe bought companies expect expected fairly few given google growth organic revenue scarcity strong
I believe Google can be bought here. There is a scarcity of companies with high, organic growth in this market, and that is why I expect Google to go up. Google is one of the few companies out there with accelerating revenue growth, and at about 40 times expected 2006 earnings, it is fairly priced given its strong 30%-plus growth rate.
