Jim Cramer to recommend an "Obama Proof" stock portfolio over the next few weeks.

Posted on 02/27/2009 3:29:26 PM PST by fightin bronco

I think it is great that one of CNBCs most popular commentators is creating a segment on how to "Obama Proof" your portfolio.

First pick, get out of the US and buy BHP due to growth in China


TOPICS: Business/Economy; Government
KEYWORDS: cnbc; econimics; investments; obama

In theory, it’s a good idea.

I just wouldn’t trust Cramer to pick anything. ANYTHING. The guy has been momumentally wrong so many times in the past. All he cares about are ratings, not giving sound advice.

Yes, but the only way to truly Obama Proof yourself is to renounce your citizenship and move all of your assets offshore.

He’s the nutjob who spends a hour every night telling everyone to take their money out of American banks and invest it overseas and then constantly screams about how critical it is for the government to take the taxpayers money to prop up the banks when they fail.

You mean, like calling the DOW bottom at 7500?

Actually, Cramer is quite useful as an “anti-signal”. If cramer says it, the opposite is a safer bet.

But more to the point, anyone who plans their investments based on ANY of the talking heads on teevee is a sh!thead.

I would say stock in free junkyards but Obama could also mess those up.

I will be very distressed if he starts picking some of the ETFs I’m in.

Yeah, that would certainly define “dilemma”, wouldn’t it?

Cramer is not worthy enough to lick the boots of Dave Ramsay. Ramsay is sound and logical.
