"If you can spot a big move in a stock or the whole market before it happens, you're made in the shade." If there's one thing Cramer's done well during his career on Wall Street, it's spotting bottoms, he said. There are no specific techniques, formulas or hard-and-fast rules for spotting a bottom, which is when a stock hits its low point and is ready to move higher. Nor do real bottoms come around often, he said, but when they do, "if you call them correctly, you can stand to make a small -- actually not so small -- fortune." While a lot of people rely on pure technical analysis and look at charts to spot a bottom, a chart is not enough, he said. People need to consider the fundamentals, too, because "sometimes a stock that goes into free fall is only taking a breather before sprinting towards zero." Cramer said he's also never seen a stock bottom out based on earnings reports. "The thing about a bottom is that if too many people see it coming, it won't happen," he said. Another "crucial" fact about bottoms is that they rarely happen all at once, Cramer continued. While not always the case, usually the market bottoms in thirds and sector by sector over a period of days, he said. http://www.thestreet.com/s/.../madmoneywrap/10432593.html?puc=_tscrss ----------- You only learn who has been swimming naked when the tide goes out - W.Buffett |
