Andrew,
I enjoyed hearing you and Frank banter about the numerous market aspects many of which are askew and confusing and I appreciate Frank's integrity not to bash The Street.com and the prudence you both demonstrate in approaching the markets at these levels.
As you know, I've been bullish on gold but a further retracement seems imminent; it hasn't been able to move much of late even though the $USD had been so weak. I do think it will be a nice buy and the miners again though. Also interesting what Kevin DePew had to say about silver going forward; Larry Pesavento noted the same thing recently.
Any chance you could follow up with Kevin DePew regarding the Demark indicator? He was showing another possible 2-3 weeks of upside before retracing and we are in that range. Thanks much.
Andrew,
I am troubled by the fact The Street (i.e. Cramer) did not allow Frank the opportunity to discuss his departure to the loyal fan base he alone established on the Real Story with Frank Curzio. Instead they chose to usher him out in secrecy and without warning. Frank’s newsletter that covers the portfolio HE established is now magically under the control of another analyst as if Frank never existed. Presto, POOF!
I purchased Frank’s Stock Under Ten newsletter last year in order to support his efforts, even though I was shorting the market and had absolutely no interest in buying equities at the time. This was in appreciation for the invaluable information gleaned from the opinions, insights, strategies, theories, and rants from Frank and his guests on his podcast. Due to the current circumstances I will not renew.
Andrew,
Recently I purchased a subscription of Real Money when Frank was recommending it on his podcast. I have been overwhelmed with the dominance of Cramer on this site. Cramer’s constant barrage of daily articles cheer leading the “bull market” with copious amounts of perma BS (bull shoots) are shrill and predictable. The continuous mantra defending his call for “the bottom in housing” is not only irritating, it is irresponsible His insatiable ego is justified and complicit in motivating people to risk their capital on his housing thesis. Is it possible Frank is no longer an employee of The Street because he didn’t “carry the water” for Cramer?

No argument from me. I have a trial and I cannot wait until it cancels.
You are SPOT ON!

It is a bad way of doing business. No wonder the stock is stuck under $5, (or is that under $4, $3…)

When I first got in the markets in May 2005, Jim Cramer used to do a fun and educational radio show called "Real Money". He gave solid stock ideas and fundamental analysis, the lightning round, stump Cramer, and had the StocksUnder$10 guys (Will Gabriowski and Dave Peltier back then) discuss ideas each week. I got some nice picks like DXPE and ENG out of that.
Then he quit doing the radio show to devote his efforts to Mad Money. As the market went up, so did Jim's popularity and then the pros began to realize they could cause huge percentage swings after hours based on Jim's comments on stocks. It just became a giant hype machine. Personally, I can't take Jim seriously in the Mad Money format and I don't need to be entertained with toys and sound effects to be interested in the markets.
Andrew,
Thanks for having Frank on your podcast for such an extensive and timely interview. Frank is a genuine, sincere, and decent guy and is passionate about his job. There is no excuse for the unprofessional treatment he has received from The Street. You and Frank have provided me and countless others with comprehensive data, informative analysis, and unbiased opinions throughout this economic calamity. I am extremely grateful and my portfolio is nice and fat because of it.
Maybe The Street (TSCM) will join the elite names in the “Stocks Under a Buck” group very soon. As Cramer would likes to say, buy, buy, BYE!
Frank is a conservative guy. He knows the secret to making money is finding super risk-reward setups and he lives and breathes the markets. Thanks for sharing with this podcast.
