As I understand Cramer's current situation (and I could be wrong, and welcome correction), he has a fund he manages for a charitable foundation. Now, I'm quite sure he wants it to do well, and part of making a fund of this nature do well is to pump up the stock, but he's not currently involved in the transaction business.
He is a major stockholder in
www.thestreet.com and as such, wants the public to be interested in the market. In that respect, he has an interest in getting his forecasts right rather than just getting movement in the market where he can make commissions.
When I watch the shows on Fox on Saturday morning, I'm always interested in how many shares of a stock the person discussing it presently owns, because if he or she can get a bump in the stock the next week, they have a good selling opportunity. After awhile, I've gotten where I sort of know which ones are "pump and dumpers" and which aren't, but even then, I'm not perfectly sure.
My exercise in tracking Cramers' bulls is to try to get an idea if he really has a good feel for the market as a whole, not necessarily individual stocks.
