I believe that happens mainly on TV, the talking heads promote their own investments, in my opinion.

Welcome goforit! Thanks for your service!

Do you mean, are they selling when they tell you to buy? We have seen that with some micro-cap stocks with spam emails to get people to buy so they can sell higher, but the SEC jumped all over them in the last couple of years.

I don't think that is the norm anymore. Like, I don't believe Cramer is "fading" his calls.

Welcome goforit.....

Way to question those TV guys....I think they like to control their own destiny.....but sucker you in to moving their way so they can play contrarian....

Anyway, good to see you and watch out for your French twin Geaux4it...He hangs out here too!

thanks forthe welcome look foward to the forums when possible. i figured my question would stir a little humor. currently 80g 20f stuck it out for latter half of DEC in gcs moved out two days ago to current. dont like the charts and sentiments and or volume being traded now have a gut feeling that it will pull back for awhile and will try to get a dip before end of month. but like the first week of Jan goes so does the rest of the year. what we have to watch out for is a year like last year NON typical and up and down. congratulations to those who stayed the storms and finished well. me only 5.5% this year.

I wouldn't put too much belief behind what the "fast money" folks recommend. I got out at a time when the market was taking off up based upon their sooth saying. The next few days when the market was climbing, they said nothing about their errant recommendations. Trust your own beliefs in this market. Perhaps Kudlow is believable.
