Do not buy Kohls stock. Poor customer service persists from Mr. Mansell, the ceo's office down through store management. Customer's complaints go unaddressed, many customers complain about the three-tier sales promotions (10, 20 or 30% off) as unfair and discriminatory. Store is overcrowded and hard to navigate for disabled using wheelchairs. Clearance racks are filled with junk, looks like stuff goodwill wouldn't even accept.

Thanks for the insight Jim....... your entire opinion loses all credibility when you state "whatever the government can buy less of or pay less for it will". Are you joking? Other than the military, what does the government do more efficiently than the private sector? If you wanted a DVD, would you fare better at Blockbuster or "The Federal Bureau of Videos"? That is where health care, banking, and the auto business is headed. Everything is more expensive if handled by big brother.

Cramer, In a previous article you said it was great to have a president who understood the economy, or words to that effect. Please explain. Obama is acting according to plan. What has changed? (And PLEASE don't say your medication.)

The days of "nobody in their right mind" buying stocks are OVER. Thirty times earnings? Get OFF the PAINKILLERS. It was all bull s#&t, Cramer. Fifteen times earnings, yeah, if the company is doing really well. Eight, nine times earnings, if the company is not doing well and could be doing better with new management. The only original idea bankers have had in the last thirty years that did most of us any good was the ATM machine. All that wealth you talk about, if you didn't convert it to capital gains, was an illusion. Borrowing against the imaginary gain, without realizing it and paying the tax, was foolish and greedy. Greed is a deadly sin, Cramer. It can lead to stock poisoning.

Great story, great advice, Jim. Tell it like it is. I did not get out though. I have no short need cash requirements. I went for companies like LUBYS. Little debt, under-valued, and product-expert management, dug in for the long run!

He is right, get out of the stock market. The hottest investments these days are Private Equities, especially the film industry. The film industry is up 30% from last year! What other industry compares to that?

Sell low . . . buy high!

WHO IS JIM CRAMER?? IF HE IS SO SMART WHY IS HE ON AOL??

Just checking to see if I can get posted on this site!

I like Cramer's show, in that it gives you good tips on how to invest. However, anytime I've actually followed his advice on timing on purchase or sale of stocks, I've lost money. His tips, such as buying in increments as a stock is going down, and selling in increments as it rises, is great. BUT, his advice on markets is actually mostly wrong. Case in point, he said dump Google last year the day before it rose a phenominal $100 per share!!!!!! Good adive, Jim

Cramer's not a realist, he is a coward leaving a sinking ship that he help torpedo. It's time for victory gardens and war bonds.

History was predicting this crash....How so?......TAKE A LOOK AT A DOW CHART, INFLATION ADJUSTED(=constant value dollars), SINCE ITS INCEPTION IN 1896....YOU WILL SEE A 35 YEAR CYCLE(except for 1929-32 when it fell 90% in three years).....I think we are about 9 years into that 35 year cycle, which leaves us about 8 years to the bottom...
You can find these inflation adjusted charts by entering "Dow inflation adjusted" on Google, or other search engines....Also note that the y-axis is usually logarithmic, and if they display with too many cycles you tend to lose the cyclic nature if the Dow(The Wikipedia chart has this defect).
An even more dramatic display of the cyclic nature of the Dow is to convert its value to GOLD, then chart it......The thing to note then is that the recovery from the bottom is very slow...See what you think.

That worked smoothly enough, what's up with the Daily Finance site?

Kohls is OK, shoes are pricey, jewelry is
SOS, but rest of store is acceptable, I shop
for pants, shirts, casual wear, good Sales if
you have a card and senior days. Compared
to Malls or specialty stores they are very good.
Mall stores and specialty strips are very pricey and more and sell the same stuff under specialty labels
and brands. I think that personal service is great
but most of the Mall stores have no people to
help you.

Whatever Cramer says, do the opposite!

Cramer giving advice on the STOCK MARKET!??!?! REALLLLLY!?? You mean like when he recommended, "HIS TOP 5 BANKS TO COME OUT OF TARP AHEAD" ON NOV. 10, BAC, WFC, JPM, USB and..... WACHOVIA WB, why don't you all take a look at what has happened to those stocks. Or maybe you want his energy plays how about recommending Nuecor at 75!? or maybe.... Kaydon at 60!!!? or maybe his best play ever Rexx Energy at 17!!! 4 months ago which is now 1.50..... hmmm cramer you swing with the market you bash one day pump the next, your words USE to mean something to me then you lost me oh let's see 15,000 dollars in 3 months HAHAHAHA, your advice is worthless as is the company CNBC you work for, half the fear in this market is spread by them.

Wow. Cramer holds himself out to be an expert on the market, stock picking, and timing. After the market has already fallen nearly 50% from its highs, doesn't his call to get out of the market seem just a little bit late?
I actually think he's right and that there's more downside to come (Dow 5500-6000?), but I'm also watching for widespread pessimism that will indicate a bottom. We're not there yet. As John Bogle (Vanguard founder) said recently, markets tend to overshoot in both directions. When Cramer makes this kind of a call, it's a signal that we're getting closer to the bottom and widespread/maximum pessimism. John Templeton (Templeton Funds) is famous for investing at the height of what he called "maximum pessimism." I don't have a crystal ball. But, Cramer's call tells me alot.

The stock market is a bad place to invest at the moment. With the trillions of dollars Obama is pouring into the economy, there is no guarantee it will work. What is guaranteed is a couple decades of debt to pay off. We're borrowing money from other countries to make loans to Citibank and B of A. What the US government is doing is exactly what toppled the financial sector. Our government is ignoring the ground rules for running a financially stable business. I guess that's why investing more money in Citibank sounds good to Obama. Just borrow more money from China if we need it... These are scary times.

If Cramer says dump your stocks this is definitely the time to buy as he has been consistently wrong for the past 18 mos. I just invested again in the market.

THANKS FOR THE ADVICE JIM. AFTER TELLING PEOPLE TO BUY STOCK FOR YEARS NOW THAT WE BOUGHT AND ARE ALMOST BROKE WHO NEEDS YOUR ADVICE.
