Betting on the Market
JAMES CRAMER, Money Manager: It's the most objective industry in the world. If your numbers stink, you're out. If your numbers are good, you get more money. It's the most Darwinian. It's beautiful. It's brutal. It works.
All right, guys. Let's roll. Buy 5 HMTT at an eighth. See what happens. It's against puts. We're fine. I want to see if you can even buy it. Colgate opens up an eighth.
IBM... August, '95 calls? I want an offering on a thousand. I want an offering on a thousand! I want an offering on a thousand! Yes! Double down. Double down. I want ten... I want a thousand!
MANAGER: Pfizer, 17-and-a-quarter. It's X. We get the dividends.
JAMES CRAMER: Sold!
JOE NOCERA: A new faith is sweeping the country, gathering strength by the day.
JAMES CRAMER: It's 25. It's 25! Okay? It's 25!
JOE NOCERA: Over the years, as a financial reporter, I've watched money manager Jim Cramer turn into one of the market's most avid missionaries.
JAMES CRAMER: Colgate, Colgate, Colgate! Get me, get me, get me!

Forty-six-and-three-quarter bid Cascade!
I believe that stocks like Bristol-Meyers, had they existed 100 years ago, there would have been no Marx. There would have been no communism because what's happened is these stocks have made many millions of people rich and they're going to do it again.
Sold!
