American Express to the Sell Block - Cramer’s Mad Money (10/2/08)

A Bad Year for S&P 500 Additions

October 2, 2008

Hickey and Walters (Bespoke) submit:

People often say that when a stock gets added to the S&P 500, it’s often the kiss of death, because by the time S&P adds it, the story is already known (examples include tech stocks in 2000, homebuilders in 2005, etc).  Well, 2008 has been no different.  Of the 20 stocks added to the index during the first three quarters of 2008, only six (30%) have outperformed the index since being added.  And even that stat is misleading since three of these stocks (LO, PM, and SNI) were units of existing S&P 500 companies.  Like the rest of us, for the Index committee at Standard and Poor’s, this year can’t end soon enough!

Getting Uglier and Uglier

October 2, 2008

Hickey and Walters (Bespoke) submit:

The credit crisis is clearly affecting sectors outside of Wall Street at this point.  Transports and other Industrials, Materials, Technology, and Energy have all really fallen out of bed today. 

Currently, no stocks in the S&P 500 Industrials sector are trading above their 50-day moving averages, while just 3% of Tech stocks are above.  And anecdotally, two stocks that are pretty good measures of how business is going are Deere and IBM.  Their declines this week indicate pure economic destruction.  The way these stocks are trading, tomorrow’s House vote is already too little and way too late.

Cramer Also Believes Cramer Has a Branding Problem

October 2, 2008

David S Cohen submits:

Before I get started I need some music. I’m thinking the Rolling Stones.  Nothing like a little music when I’m writing, especially when my back is hurting and I’m still feeling toasty from the warm reception to my debut on Seeking Alpha.  But don’t let me be a poor host, while I get settled you can watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7QsQ4VVCNI

Okay good, I’ve got my lumbar cushion in place, my laptop is humming and Mick is singing "You can’t always get what you wa-ant". Good stuff.  And I assume that you couldn’t miss Jim Cramer’s frustration with not getting what he wants in the segment. I mean that is not what you would call self-satisfaction dripping from phrases like "…it is cavalier at this point to ignore me, but not only am I ignored, I am dismissed as a gadfly. It’s pathetic."  Say what you will, but on Wednesday James J. wasn’t happy with his brand.
