Trump quer despedir responsável de estatísticas laborais dos EUA após fortes revisões em baixa

"Os tubarões ganham sempre."

Frase tantas vezes proferida pelos pequenos investidores, que nos ultimos meses foi completamente cilindradada...

Mostra é que todos temos espaço para APRENDER.
Eu estou a aprender muito neste Bear Market, e espero vir aprender ainda mais.
Acho que em Bull não se aprende nada, gastamos o tempo todo a ganhar dinheiro


Cumprimentos.

"Four Reasons to Be Skittish on the Market"

"People ask me why I am so often freaked out about what is happening daily in this market. Let me give you four reasons: Sheldon Adelson, Sumner Redstone, Howard Lester and Aubrey McClendon.




All four of these gentlemen got overextended and bought too much of their own stock or the stock of another company and got margined out.

These are great American businessmen. They are much smarter than I am -- much smarter than almost any people in business -- and they completely and utterly screwed up. You cannot possibly say that they did anything else.

Howard Lester created Williams-Sonoma (WSM - commentary - Cramer's Take). He built that company into the best housewares company in the world with a name synonymous with quality. He is a titan. Lester sold 1,150,000 Williams-Sonoma shares to meet margin calls at prices that are down so huge from the highs as to make me think that if he doesn't know what to do -- and he clearly doesn't -- with his company or his stock, how the heck am I to know?

I owned Viacom (VIA.B - commentary - Cramer's Take) the first time Sumner Redstone took it private in the early 1980s. It was one of my first hits. The man was legendary back then as a shrewd wheeler-dealer who understood both the stock market and the entertainment industry better than anyone I have ever seen. What's he done? He's gone and blown himself up, having to sell CBS (CBS - commentary - Cramer's Take) stock at levels that are not to be believed. To think he had to come on the conference call and talk about his own financial problems and how they won't force him to sell any more CBS even though the situation hasn't been resolved is just preposterous. How can I understand CBS and Viacom and recognize their pitfalls if the creator of Viacom and the master of CBS doesn't know?

What's happened to Chesapeake's (CHK - commentary - Cramer's Take) Aubrey McClendon makes me sick to my stomach. Here's a guy who has made all of the right moves. We even talked on "Mad Money" about how if you bought when he did you almost always made money.

But he was buying with borrowed funds, and he got crushed. Just crushed. And he had to sell at the low. How can I know Chesapeake if he didn't? Aubrey has taught me pretty much everything I needed to know about oil and gas, and he gets blown out? And I am not supposed to be confused?

Finally, there's Sheldon Adelson. This man is a remarkable visionary who built Las Vegas Sands (LVS - commentary - Cramer's Take) into a global powerhouse. He had an equity offering in February 2006 that was one of the greatest buys of all time. Earlier this year, my friend Matt Horween, who does amazing accounting work, clued me in that Adelson's casino may not be able to make it; I quickly put it into the sell block after hearing all of the negatives. Adelson's in big trouble because he has borrowed so much money for his baby, which looks like it will now be thrown out with the bathwater.

Four men. Four seasoned players. Four guys who didn't see it coming.

So how are we supposed to? "
