Mad Money

[Glferboy21]

Just got back from Cramer's Back to School Mad Money at UT. He is a lot nicer guy than I thought he was and he really knows his stuff. I think the show is entertaining but not really useful, however during the commercial break he let students randomly ask him stocks and there wasn't one he didn't know about.

I was supposed to be in the Q & A session but they didn't get to my question, there was one ahead of me. They do get two shots of me with my crazy longhorn hat. My question was "The volatility index, VIX, hit a five year high this month. How is this going to play out? And do you see it maintaining these levels?"

My best friend asked about Reliance Steel, RS, and he was bullish on it. Priced at 46, he said should be trading in the 50's.

Overall good time

will try to catch the show tonight. on the replay. do not watch it much any more, but live shows he seems to have a high energy level.

often when I did watch it would often mention cdn. mining or oil company.

often when he mentions a cnd. company it sometimes makes the cdn. press up here. compared BNS scotia bank to the godfather of South America.

they are looking at a investment in a China bank, and have large operations in South America. not sure where Godfather comes in, but the bank did not mind being mentioned. as long as the bank goes up 10% year over year, will not care either.

only things watch on CNBC are ussually the first 15 min. of fast money, and CNBC world midnight.
also catch Cramer once a week.

thanks

If you catch it 11 Eastern 10 my time, my buddy is in the lightining round with his face painted and a bevo headgear.

They show me after he talks about Bevos horns and after he talks about coming to Cain and Abels (local watering hole with $1 beer tonight) with us after the show. I have long curly hair and am wearing some ridiculous hat.

I like to watch his show for entertainment. For investing I watch Real Money and the Closing Bell.

BUT he did have a pick awhile back, google says the Feb 7th, that I really caught my eye, and that was UnderArmor (UA). If they pull back any after a two day run up, I am pulling the trigger.
