» smile_1 - est 50% batting avg - Cramer vs Cramer graphic

The Cramer vs Cramer graphic I saw today on his Mad Money show on CNBC is an excellent view of Cramer's recent calls. If anyone Tapes this show it would be interesting to get his batting average.

Looks to me just by eyeballing like his batting average is around 50%. It would be good to see someone do an even weight analysis to see the truth about Cramer.

I've seen many use him as a contrary indicator.

Pisses me off to see people jumping in and out of stocks not based on their own dd but on Cramer's. Nothing wrong with getting ideas from Cramer.

Anyway I did a msn search (search.msn.com) and found a blog where someone had tracked Cramer's calls thru 12/14/05 results:

I did some basic analysis on the performance of Cramer?s investment calls.

To date he has made calls on approximately 800 stocks. Of the 839 different calls, 398 went against him and 441 worked out in his favour.

However, when you look at the average magnitude, the average incorrect call saw a -4.69% return while the correct calls had an average return of 2.28%.

Time period wasn't taken into consideration. The analysis was done by simply taking all the stocks reported in the Mad Money Performance section
as of Dec 13th.

Wish the investing public was aware of this track record. Also wish CNBC was made aware of the
amount of damage that this guy is actually doing. I have found him to be one of the best contrarian indicators, at lease when it comes to invest in oil and gas stocks.

Regards,
Sid
