Cramer on BloggingStocks: Pools of capital keep retelling the credit story

TheStreet.com's Jim Cramer says we know how it'll play out. Besides, there's money to be made elsewhere.

Nobody's dissing the credit crisis. We all see it. We know when it is back. We know that the write-offs for the banks and brokers and Fannie (NYSE: FNM) (Cramer's Take) and Freddie (NYSE: FRE) (Cramer's Take) will be gigantic if and when the Gang of Four (Ambac (NYSE: ABK) (Cramer's Take), MGIC (NYSE: MTG) (Cramer's Take), MBIA (NYSE: MBI) (Cramer's Take), PMI (NYSE: PMI) (Cramer's Take)) finally chokes to death.

This question was brought up in reference to Jim Cramer and the tone of the question was not nice. It was implied that something less than honorable might be taking place behind the scenes. I stand in Jim Cramer's defense (as if it's even required).

Although at times he annoys me with his on screen antics, I have never had cause to believe that Jim Cramer's prognostications encompassed anything less than good, solid business analysis, thorough historical trending and conservative (although sometimes very wrong) performance projections. I have never known Mr.Cramer to lie about anything and he backs up every claim he makes with experience and facts.
