Jim Cramer: “Bear Stearns is Fine!” Tues, 3/11/08

CNBC’s Jim Cramer screams that “Bear Stearns is fine!” and “NO! NO! NO!” … “Bear Stearns is not in trouble” … “Don’t move your money from Bear! That’s just silly! Don’t be silly!” to investors while Bear Stearns was still trading at over a ahare, down from a high of 1 just over a year ago ( dealbook.blogs.nytimes.com ). This just 5 days before Bear Stearns sold to JP Morgan for a share, in a Fed brokered bailout. Reuters (03.16.08): “Bear’s stock closed on Friday at .85, valuing it at .5 billion, after tumbling 46 percent that day. Shares in the fifth largest US investment bank, which employs more than 14000 people, hit a record high of more than 1 in January 2007. …” www.forbes.com

    i got an A in econ class for a stock project because i invested in bear stones after Easter when it hit rock bottom and doubled my money. i can’t believe that it went all the way down to $5 a share.

  6. MirageScience says:

    wish i was short selling bear sterns then xD

  7. attorneydestroyusa says:

    never listen to anything a jew says. That is the most important stock tip you will ever get.

  8. jflor98 says:

    @ChillWillKill09 You are correct, most people reading this post have no idea what he’s talking about, so they just assume.

  9. CaptainChaos777 says:

    I don’t think he was talking about selling stock in Bear Sterns but someone that had a account with Bear Stearn and if he should move his money out of that account. Bear Sterns was taken over by JPMorgan so they guy’s money in his account was fine.

    Now if you were holding stock….well you were doomed.

  10. ChillWillKill09 says:

    Actually what Cramer was saying was for the caller to NOT pull his money out of Bear Stearns the brokerage firm, ie implying the cash or securities being held by the broker were safe, and that if anything the broker would be taken over, and securities transfered to new broker. He was not making a recommendation to hold Bear Stearns the stock or company. Ofcourse some people wouldn’t know the diff.

  11. db528 says:

    Jim Cramer said, “More than likely it will be taken over.” And that’s what happened.

  12. TheLastBrainLeft says:

    @SonofCimmeria He’s doing nothing wrong, if he’s that incompetent and people still listen to them, it’s their own fault.

  13. jeremyraybrown says:

    It’s instances like this that make the conspiracy people not sound so crazy. I don’t know who or what to believe anymore.

  14. MrJamylephillips says:

  17. julesickdrums says:

    umm I don’t live in the U.S. and don’t know too much about the financial status of their companies so: what is Bearn Stearns? a bank? and what caused the crumble on its shares? the subprime recesion?

  18. rawrletsgo says:

    man i actually thought this dude knew what he was talking about lol..all his screaming and over-confidence.

  19. theflamingfurby says:

    @austenbosten exactly, I totally do the reverse of what Cramer says to do. I have been successful on the online stock market game that way. Too bad that is fake money that I have made in that game. oh well…

  20. Creamyguitar1956 says:

    Disclaimer should read ” If you are watching my show I will gladly short your purchase in the morning after last night’s episode”….and THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOO MUCH! Cramer….

  21. 6ixesandse7ens says:

    Anyone ever read the disclaimer at the end? here is a section
    “Investments or strategies mentioned in this show may not be suitable for you. This material does not take into account your particular investment objectives, financial situation or needs and is not intended as recommendations appropriate for you.”

    objectives like actually making money LOL

  22. fixingtheproblem says:

    I have an idea.. it might be crazy but w/e cramer says to do do the opposite it sounds crazy but it just might work!

  23. muk546 says:

    wow a person was wrong…

  24. hansonkewl06 says:

  25. revcletis says:

  26. tntnoir123 says:

  36. NicGonzalez1 says:

    Scaremongering is the word that a politician would use to describe the recession. It’s just a ploy to get people to pay higher taxes. Even in some instances getting people to work for free.

    Well done Bird and Fortune for explaining credit crunch started by flawed sub-prime lending in the USA. Thanks for sharing the clips that explain lies behind crunch, and the bailout lotteries to help rich friends.
