    Gates Leaving Won't Help Microsoft
    06/15/2006 6:24 PM

    In this article, Cramer appears to have written this article while he was doing his live t.v. show Mad Money-- since it was posted at 6:24.

    More importantly, Cramer wishes he could sell MSFT. He considers it a major disappointment like INTC since "
    Andy Grove left."

    Bottom line: GOOG wins.

    The Great Seller Moves On
    06/15/2006 3:42 PM

    In this article, Cramer believes there was a big seller levered to gold, copper and NASDAQ stocks who appears to be done selling.

    He exclaims: "
    But I also feel that some huge seller who had been weighing on the market got finished, just disappeared, someone who was long a lot of Nasdaq stocks and long a lot of copper and gold in a leveraged fashion."

    NOTE: Cramer is Knuckin' futs.

    Salve Pain With This Rally
    06/15/2006 3:06 PM

    In this article, Cramer cites today's monster rally and says its "very much for real."

    Then he sidetracks into more black helicopter option theories: "...
    the sheer number of puts that were bought for June that now give every hedge fund ammunition to buy common against for a free trade into Friday night."

    Catalysts Could Ignite Some Ramping
    06/15/2006 1:10 PM

    In this article, Cramer believes the "lack of margin pressure midday could give this rally some staying power."

    Then, he rants over a far-fetched option induced spike in BA's stock price.

    He exclaims: "Here's what happened in Boeing to take it as far as it went. There was a monster short position in June 80 calls, which looked like a sure way to pick up income as the stock was sinking. Those people got hit upside the head by the Airbus news. They had to scramble and buy common to hedge themselves. That's how you blow through a strike and get quick upside."

    Finally. he declares it's "worth betting" on SHLD and IR June calls that expire tomorrow.

    NOTE: A Realmoney.com subscriber questions Cramer's suggestion:

    So the strategy is?

    So please, have you changed your mind of this week's strategy of buying weakness and selling strength? Is selling the strength of the last two days no longer this week's strategy? And if you have changed your mind, would you please, just this once, tell us why you changed your mind? Anyone who follows your advice probably sold the stocks you mentioned into the strength of the last two days since all you have done for tha last 2000 words is whine about the Fed rahter than updating us on your startegy.

    Fed's Inflation Juke Crushes Commodities
    06/15/2006 10:14 AM

    In this article, Cramer feels the "morons at the Fed" caused inflation by warning about it.

    He suggests the inflation uptick was financial.

    I'll let Cramer explain this one: "What caused this ridiculous up-and-down action? I think that the morons at the Fed made you feel that you had to protect yourself against commodity inflation by buying hard assets, but those markets weren't big enough to accommodate real demand and financial demand from these funds. That's right, what I am saying was all the inflation was financial, caused by these buyers of $200-$300 inflation protection. Now all of these guys want out at the same time and this is what you see. The exit door turns out to be very small."

    Fed Needs Its Own 'Quiet Period'
    06/15/2006 9:21 AM

    In this article, Cramer pounds the Fed with a barrage of questions:

    "
    These governors have one job. If they can't get it right, what's the point of having them? Why do they bother to talk? Why do they muse on the record? Do they not know the import of their words? Are there no consequences for them, no matter what they say? Why are they given such a free pass when no one else gets one?"

    Bottom line: The Fed should behave responsibly and keep their mouths shut.


    Comments:
    "Are there no consequences for them, no matter what they say? Why are they given such a free pass when no one else gets one?"

    Cramer's spot on about this. It's frightening how much power the Fed has. They have more power than any branch of the government, but they're not exactly the government, so they have none of the oversight. Who does the Fed work for? It's not the American people; it's the big bondholders.
     
    It would have been nice if Cramer had alerted about the oscillator YESTERDAY instead of halfway through today. Having said that, if you didn't take some S&P at 1220 after it survived that jerk Fisher and then the Beige Book didn't have anything bad in it, you have only yourself to blame.
