components downside education entertainment forward longer market people recognize stock successful surprised three wall
This is a show that is about education, entertainment and making money. And I think that people should recognize that you need all three components going forward if you're going to be successful because the stock market is no longer the way it was. It's not a 'build it and they will come' situation. There are many people who think that it is and I think that they will be continually surprised to the downside with that view, as we say on Wall Street.
class long doubt
You have a class of investors and you have a class of speculators. The speculators historically haven't been big enough to cause the investors to doubt the long-term vision of stock.
thinking long people
The danger that we have right now are people who get the same information as I do and, therefore, think they'll reach the same conclusions that haven't traded as long, don't have bear claws up and down their backs like I do.

leadership lost
The place had lost its way, the leadership had lost its way and it was a very unfortunate thing.

Lewis is an operations guy. His real strength: developing stores that appeal to those who aren't the richest people on earth. For Sears Holdings, he needs to find a space between Wal-Mart and Target. I believe he can do it.
bringing darn fund good industry manager operating people turning
I had unbelievable credibility as a hedge fund manager (at Cramer Berkowitz), but who cares? If I'm obstreperous, funny, I'm bringing people in, not turning them off. My industry has been operating through mystification and confusion. Fie on us. I'm having a darn good time,
interest oil prices rates tough waiting
It's a tough moment. This has become a tough market, ... the ones that aren't waiting for oil prices and interest rates to go down.

It's time to buy the greatest medical stock you've never heard.
american-businessman buy engines good great middle ten
I want to buy them, because historically these have been great engines of enrichment for the middle class, 'historically' meaning now for a good ten years.
biggest since single symbol
Symbol Technologies is probably the single biggest disappointment I've had since I started my show.
act camera night
It's a high-energy, high-risk, one-man-walking-a-tightrope act every night. In the end, that camera is on me every night and I have to deliver.
