Stock Market
No leadership, in `no man`s land` as many traders are vacationing and there is little news

Jim Cramer, CNBC
CNBC, Aug 20 2008
Stock Market
Monday saw serious profit taking, nothing major: more important is the true underpinnings of the market, mainly the price of oil, natural gas, where suply and demand are controlling the market - Many oil and natural gas stocks are trading at a big discount to the price of the commodity, so buy natural gas stocks - In the past, events in Iran, Georgia, and the tropical storm in the Gulf of Mexico would have instantly taken oil to $150 a barrel, yet oil remains at $110 a barrel and is likely to fall even further: confirms that supply and demand rule, and the demand for oil and gas at $4.50 a gallon isn`t there - Scale out of oil stocks directly affected by the decline in oil prices, including Transocean, Rowen Drilling, Chesapeake Energy, XTO Energy, Ultra Petroleum

Jim Cramer, CNBC
CNBC, Aug 19 2008
Stock Market
The worst is behind us, the market bottomed on July 15 - Financials, consumer stocks, housing stocks can rally as inflation looks to have finally peaked and oil and gas continue to decline and stabilize - Like Clorox, Kellogg, Kimberly Clark, Google - Much of the rest of the world hasn`t bottomed, so expect a US rally fueled in part by foreign investors buying US bargains - Media guilty of a lack of headlines of good news, like housing affordability and lower heating oil costs - Look for positives in the market and ignore barrage of negative news

Jim Cramer, CNBC
CNBC, Aug 15 2008
Stock Market
Market actiing on momentum and not fundamentals, so temporarily abandon rule to sell tech stocks in February and wait until the fall, which has worked for 16 of the past 17 years - Market momentum is clearly driving tech stocks, including Intel, Microsoft, Google, Apple, Research In Motion, Amazon.com, even Qualcomm, Applied Materials - Expect continued sector rotation out of oil and natural gas sectors and into tech - Expect oil to drop to $110, or $3.50 a gallon for gasoline, where the real demand is

Jim Cramer, CNBC
CNBC, Aug 13 2008
Stock Market
Rally driven by falling oil prices, retail, banking and financial stocks, whose lows on July 15 will not be tested - Expect more hardships in financial and home building sectors so be cautious investing there: see no bottom in housing until late 2009, and expect at least one or two major home builders to fail

Jim Cramer, CNBC
CNBC, Aug 12 2008
Stock Market
Markets will remain difficult - Stock market has bottomed but not all stocks; begin buying stocks as they go down - Like wind and solar stocks

Economy, Chart
The time to worry about the economy was a year ago: the staggering losses in the financial sector could have been avoided had the Fed cut rates aggressively

Jim Cramer, CNBC
CNBC, Aug 2 2008
Economy, Chart
Needs three economic fixes - First the creation of a resolution mortgage trust to bail out financial sector; just a $300 billion bond issue of 2-yr notes would buy all the bad loans at around 70 cents on the dollar - Second, the scrapping of ethanol, i.e. repealing Illinois/Iowa Corn Ethanol Mandate, which converts 30% of US corn crop into just 3% of US energy needs, thereby producing a 50% reduction in food costs - Third, emphasizing natural gas, which is 50% cheaper than oil and the cleanest, safest and most abundant fuel alternative: US has recently discovered huge amounts of natural gas

Jim Cramer, CNBC
CNBC, Jul 17 2008

Government should guarantee all debt from Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae and take 20% of both companies in warrants, thereby turning mortgages into the new treasurys; investors would scramble to buy mortgages and sell treasurys, rallying the mortgage market and get liquidity flowing back into the system, lowering mortgage rates, end the decline in housing and convert bank stocks from bear to bull

Interest Rates
Bernanke`s comments this week signal Fed willing to respond to an easing of the downside tail risks to growth and financial stability, central motivation to Fed`s 3.25 percentage point cuts - Expect Fed to raise a quarter-point to 2.25% in September, then a possible second increase by end of Q1 2009: previously expected first rate rise in Q2 2009

Bruce Kasman, J.P. Morgan
MarketWatch, Jun 12 2008
Interest Rates
Federal mistakenly focusing on inflation and not housing crisis: Bernanke had the same approach during last year`s crises in housing and financial services and caused $500 billion in losses - Better to tackle housing first, then inflation, by scrapping ethanol mandate, which has raised fuel prices and done very little to increase gas supplies - Raising interest rates would severely damage banks and cause a recession, with the loss of homes and jobs for millions of people
