Funds are go going to go out of business, theyre nuts. They know nothing i always like to say theres a bull market somewhere. Hey, im cramer. Welcome to mad money, welcome to cramerica. My job is not just to entertain, but to teach and to coach you. So call me at 1800743cnbc. May 2013 be as good as 2012 for you in the stock market. Thats what i found myself thinking all day, in spite of todays incredible action, best day in over a year of the. The dow soaring 108 points. The nasdaq rockets 3. 07 , i feel like im surrounded by people who are already fretting about the next big bad thing. This time its the debt ceiling fight. Theyre worried eem as it seems the market has a tremendous case of sellers remorse. Theyre scared. Even as it seems those who fled the market year end are in their buying and buying the same stocks we sold. When we looked certain to plunge into the fiscal abyss. How else do you explain how we got the best first day of the year for the s p since 2009 . Lets take a moment to smell the 2012 roses. No one else did. Because they seemed to smell pretty good to me and its easy to go right past them without an ounce of thought. Not tonight, not for me. Im not advocating wearing these, im not wearing advocating rosecolored glasses. Im saying there are some genuine roses out there totally visible to the naked eye. That i heard very few people celebrate today. That ends here. Look, lets talk mad money manifesto for a moment. My job, what is it . Its pretty simple, right . Its to try to help you make money. I may not always be right, im first to admit it, okay . But i know theres an opportunistic optimistic way to make money while embracing skepticism and coldhearted reald and theres an unrealistic way to not make money is to be continually cynical, offering a crowsish mindset dedicated to the proposition that there no rose gardens to begin with, just thorns. Thorns that are endlessly in your way. So why even venture into the thick of it. Maybe its because of my spare time i like to garden more than any other hobby. But a rose of an s p thats up 16 like it was in 2012, a rose that keeps Capital Gains and dividends taxes lower than i would have expected even two weeks ago, a rose that allows the middle class to stay permanently ensconced in lower tax rates, these roses must be celebrated even if it is for some small hour on some cable show. I start this year somewhat dazzled by events. A week ago i was worried that tax waits would go up for everyone. You could barely be compensated for owning higheryield stocks and wed have to put a meat axe to government spending, going over the cliff worried me, gave me pause about 2013, as i trust it did for you. Even yesterday when i heard that eric cantor was going to try to scuttle a hardfought deal that was overwhelmingly approved in the senate, it gave me again pause about what could happen this morning. I was prepared for a down 300, 400. But cantor, who momentarily was a sure candidate for the wall of shame if he kept up that stuff, he ultimately backed down and we got a deal that everyone dislikes, which is the essence of what it means to rise above politics. Youre supposed to dislike it, for heavens sakes, its a compromise. Right now about the pending battle over the debt ceiling other than the fact that the buyers werent too scared of the upcoming big bad debt fight today. What makes me not so concerned . I know there are plenty of other people who will wouldorry about the debt ceiling. I dont have to do it. Let them worry about it i worry about the things very few people are worried about. I acknowledge im fretting over, problems that are thought about in advance by everybody, they have a tendency to be resolved. Remember the european nightmare, listen, kick the can, 29 in germany, 20 increase in france. Lets play that game. Second i was far more concerned about where individual tax rates would end up than i am over the coming battle over spending. Wi want to see Social Security paydays backed up and i want to see people pay more for medicare. I want to see creative way to raise money. Maybe we need a National Sales tax. I dont know. But all of these right now are secondary to the big cliff we just avoided. I suspect that president might have invoked the 14th amendment to ignore the federal debt ceiling and argue that the debts must be paid. Even though i want to see spending reined in badly, thats important to me. Whats happened every time weve been blindsided by washington . We miss whats going on around the globe, a firstclass recovery and remarkable. Something my Charitable Trust which beat the 2012 estimates, been vesting in. No, invest that way later in the show. You know we miss the wave of mergers and acquisitions that i now think happened, since we avoided a cliff dive. Dont you wish you owned the rental Car Companies today, pricing just got better now that avis bought zip car for 500 million. We missed the bank stock rally. Citigroup, bank of america charging ever higher even as theyre so far behind the market, they could go up hoojly from here without stretching their valuations. We missed the continued improvement in housing and housing stocks. Something that wont be derailed by a debt ceiling debate. And well stay stoked by low Interest Rates and affordability. Helped by gigantic rebuilding in the northeast. We missed the deep recovery rally in tech. Numbers may be too low and at last, the promise of facebook could be realized thanks to the newfound embrace of mobile opportunities, better than anyone else can. When were blinded by washington we fail to capitalize on what might be an increasing Small Businesses now that the cliff cloud has cleared. I keep thinking about the words of marty musy, paychecks. We just got some certainty and people start new companies again at a pace that used to be rather natural. About r but we have the level of certainty, i think mucey will be right. I think that there was a small minority that held our nation hostage in the end, only 167 members in the house rebelled against the compromise. Couldnt the same thing happen again with the debt ceiling . Would that be so strange . Now hey while youre waiting do you sell those dividend stocks again, dump the mass limited stocks. How did the dow work for you . Is that the takeaway from the rose garden that sprung from the thorns of the debate. Throughout my 33 years, yes in the stock market. Ive always taken heed of the skeptics but i have blocked out the cynics and most effectively. Because the Dow Jones Industrial average was 12,000 points lower than it was when i got started. It seems like the right call whext i think were going it take a gigantic hit, im willing to shout it from the roof tops, like i did in 2008. I want to bring them back in at lower level when is the fire was put out, im proud of that. But theres no fire in sight now. Just a smokescreen from washington. That will again keep people from realizing that the terrific gains this year could produce, like the fabulous gains we got last year. Bottom line, i cant play the gloom game. Ill let others play it. Im too busy trying to find the next super stocks that are out there. The next undervalued breakup plays, the next takeover opportunities, opportunities to present themselves only those not blinded to invoke that great ballad by the smoke from a distant washington fire. Lets go to jack. Caller im i read your book, im following a sector rotation strategy, im in materials and i watched the fiscal cliff being resolved and im thinking whatsed future on this as far as i like housing, i think its good a place to stay for a while. What do you think . I agree with you. Now because of my discipline, i dont come in up 2. 5, 3 , i wait for a pullback, im willing to accept as i have, many times, including 1998 and in 1989, an acceptance that i might be missing a big move because i got to wait for a pullback, i think its fine. Its still a sweet spot, nothing has changed, including the idea that the debt ceiling can derail it. It just got better because we have a deal. Jackie . Caller jim wishing you a happy prosperous 12013. Did you see the casino revenue numbers were up 13. 5 in 2012 and up 19. 6 in december. Now with the strengthening of the chinese economy, the rise of the chinese middle class, and the approaching chinese new years which whats to follow on your birthday, february 10th, i believe that whether its an mgm, which i love, alvs or a wynn resorts, i think they got great momentum Going Forward and i think they should be bought right now. What do you think . Im in tote agreement, i think that that group is terrific. I like mgm on a spec basis, butdy that back in 2012. And wynn . Best in show. New year, new attitude. Im letting everybody else play the gloom game. Excuse me, im looking for the next big thing. There might be a smokescreen from washington, i can help you see through it and i dont need rosecolored glasses to do so. Coming up, fireworks . The markets fired like confetti cannons, starting off 2013 on hand some game on the back of a fiscal cliff deal. But can it continue . Cramer takes on the technicals to find out when he goes, off the charts. And later, ready to ride . Cramer is putting the pedal to the metal to find out which stock could be the best performing name of 2013. Get ready to load up the truck, just ahead. Plus, passport to profit . The fiscal cliff may be crumbling, but concerns over slow growth in the u. S. Arent going anywhere. Looking for a place to turn . Grab your luggage and hop aboard. Cramer is taking a trip it to find the International Markets that could be traveling higher. All coming up on mad money. Now that the big chunk of the fiscal cliff has been bridged at the last possible moment, we need to ask an important question, can the rally continue throughout 2013 . I dont know how to answer. But tonight were doing a special wednesday edition of tuesdays offthecharts segment with the assistance of bob lange, to find out what he thinks is going to happen. Now i asked lange what he likes for the new year, what is he thinking here, big picture. He said while the dow and the s p 500 both looked set to reach new alltime highs, sometime this year, you heard me right. He reverses a different pair offaof a averages, he believes these are both positioned out to outperform in 2013 like they did last year. Heres why, take a look at the longterm monthly chart of the little drawing here, power shares qqq, the etf that reflects the nasdaq 100. Even with the recent weakness in apple, which is a major component of the index, the qqq managed to close out above its 200day moving average. We know thats been a positive sum. We talk about it a lot on the show. The index is now within 50 points of its alltime high. That was back from the dotcom bubble when it was at 115. Lange believes those highs could be in its sights. I didnt think we would see that again. He believes because right now the qqq is trading at 67. 20. If it can wraek out above 70, then he says theres to resistance between there and 95. If the nasdaq 100 can rally 3. 5 points over 70, lange thinks it could be smooth sailing to much higher prices. He sees the index ultimately making a new alltime high, over 115 bucks by late 2014 or early 2015. Which would be a pretty fabulous move to retrace that our lifetime, hes got it in a couple of years. Weekly charter of the qqq, he thinks theres a bullish setup. Over the last several months, the nasdaq 100 has been consolidating after its big move higher at 2012. Now consolidation, trading sideways he says thats building a base. And it can use as a launching pad for the next big raly. More important, take a look at the indicator at the bottom of the chart. Thats the moving average convergence, divergence, the line i talk about. Everyone calls it the macd. We talked about it before. Its a momentum indicator that charters use to detect shifts in the stocks trajectory, not asday, or after, but before they happen. Right now lng thinks the macd line is signaling a big breakout for the qqq. It took off soon after. It goes there, crosses then look at that what great predictor. We saw in september 2010. Same thing in december of 2011. It means the nasdaq 100 could be about to make a much bigger move higher even on top of what happened today. Russell 2,000, take a gander at the daily charts of the Ishares Russell 2,000 index etf. More jargon, im sorry for that ive got to try to get these things into your head, this is the russell 2000, today it took it out. Theres a pattern in the chart to make lange think the index could making alltime new highs from here. The russell 2000 make a cup and handle formation. Charter jargon, thats where you have a deep bottoming pattern that looks like a cup and after a rebound, you get a cups handle. It is so reliable. Lange is not searching for pictures inside of the chart. He likes the Company Pattern because it is one of the most reliably bullish pattern. Its just a percentage its more reliable than not. When security breaks out from handle you get a big move higher. Thats what the russell 2000 is doing right now, its busting out of the downward handle formation. Shooting higher. Lange thinks this move is in its infancy. Of course theres more from that. Take a look at the volume bars, you can see that the russell 2000 has had strong volume on the updates since mid november and much lower on the down days this is a classic case, down much lower volume and flips, classic sign the big institutions in in there buying and the moving average convergence divergence line is still in positive territory. I mean look, volume down, mackd going higher. Wow. This is staggering stuff. Russell 2000 is a huge buy, its a greatlooking chart. The monthly chart, now were going to look at the seasonal pattern that lange says is worth examining. Lange says small caps tend to come on strong at the beginning of the year. Recovery thing because of tax loss selling. But thats too simple. You can see that in six of the last seven years, the january effect that i dont know, you caught a terrific rally in the russell 2000 if you owned it in the first three months of the year. The only exception in 2008. But that was an exceptional year all around. If the pattern holds up. The index could be about to make a big move higher. Giving that the daily chart is saying the same thing, lange thinks the russell 2000 chart could be the best thing around for the next three months. Im not going to trade 2013 but i like ha the setup is here. Heres the bottom line. If you believe the charts as interpreted by lang, then 2013 could be a good year. Now that we put the fiscal cliff behind us, he sees the dow and the s p hitting alltime highs he thinks the nasdaq 200 and the russell 2000. Are big for the upside. After the break, ill try to make some more money. Coming up, ready to ride . Cramer is putting the pedal to the metal to find which stock could just be the best performing name of 2013. Get ready to load up the truck, just ahead. Ive always had to keep my eye on her. But, i didnt always watch out for myself. With so much noise about health care. I tuned it all out. With unitedhealthcare, i get information that matters. My individual health profile. Not random statistics. They even reward me for addressing my health risks. So im doing fine. But shes still going to give me a heart attack. Were more than 78,000 people looking out for more than 70 million americans. Thats health in numbers. Unitedhealthcare. At a dry cleaner, we replaced people with a machine. What . Customers didnt like it. So why do banks do it . Hello . Hello . if your bank doesnt let you talk to a real person 24 7, you need an ally. Hello . Ally bank. Yooney needs an ally. Sometimes the best stock picks are ripped from the headlines, just like an episode of law and order. A couple of weeks ago, there was a piece in the Washington Post saying that auto sales saved the economy in 2012. The highest number of new vehicles sold since the financial crisis. In todays wall street journal we see another headline, u. S. Auto Sales Forecast to break 15 million in 2013. When do they suggest the number of vehicles sold this year could be closer to 15. 4 million. Cn cnbcs own phil lebeau was saying it could be 15. 5 million. Tomorrow i think were going to find out about december Sales Numbers and its going to be terrific. Hurricane sandy wrecked hundreds of thousands of cars that need to be replaced. Bloomberg surveyed a bunch of analysts and theyre predicting a 9. 8 increase for december. Put it together and the domestic auto market is clearly on fire. In fact, its giving rise to maybe just maybe one of my best ideas for 2013. We still got a tremendous amount of pentup demand in the country. The average car on the road is ancient, 11 years old. Its now easy to get a loan for a new car at a super low Interest Rate this is a story where the easy answer is the best answer. Dont try to outsmart yourself. Continual theme for 2013. Were on track to sell a huge number of cars in the country, buy ford. Why ford . First of all, its the best auto company in america it likely sold 2. 2 million cars in the u. S. Last year. It is the first auto company to get back to the prerecession levels. The ford focus was the bestselling car on earth last year when you include the fiesta and the fseries pickup. Ford makes three of the top ten bestselling cars worldwide. Nobody else has that many. Fords u. S. Business, fantastic shape. Fords operating profits in north america are at the highest level since 2000 in the latest quarter, that is huge. Plus we know that housing prices are on the rebound. When that happens, consumers feel wealthier and more likely to spend on a new car buy buy buy. With the fiscal cliff a thing of the past we dont need to worry about incox taxes going up for 98 of americans, something that might have trimmed car sales. Twothirds of the domestic sales come from light trucks. But the company is shifting focus to smaller cars in order to capitalize on demand for more fuelefficient vehicles. Not like gasoline went down big. Hey, dont get me started about the fseries, i love them. Bought a used one in 2011. An f350, its dynamite, it handles like a dream. Dont get in front of me when im driving. Ford has been doing great domestically for a while. Ive become reluctant to recommend the stock because of fords european exposure. As the losses in europe were so horrible, they virtually canceled out the terrific gains, ought that hard work in america, just destroyed by the sales in europe. The losses just horrendous. But then two months ago, ford u. S. Reported spectacular quarter and the company indicated its aggressively cutting back on european business. The company has announced plans to cut 6200 jobs in europe. We dont want anyone to loss their job, but the company has get more profitable. Moves that should generate a half a Million Dollars in annual savings by 2015. If these cutbacks arent enough, ford said theyre willing to go further in order to become profitable in europe by 2015. Ford is more profitable than any other automaker when it comes to slash the costs in europe. Gm has just discovered the worries in europe. Then in china, ford did get into china late back in 2003, six years after gm. Gm has done a fabulous job. They have 2. 9 market share. The Chinese Business is growing. In november, fords chinese sales rose bay whopping 35 . A year ago, they lost money and this company they made 45 million. By 2020, ford expects that asian and africa will account for 32 of sales. Total sales. Up from 15 in 2010. A huge growth region and ford is making up for lost time. Fords latin American Business took a hit last year. Though sill profitable. I think it could be on the verge of a comeback as Latin American Companies get serious about breathing new life into their economies, fords raw costs have been a problem, but theyre coming down and the companys deal with the United Auto Workers gives them a lead until 2013. Ford does have the best ceo in the business, allen mulally. He ran boeing aerospace, but he was what the company needed him in 2006. A financial turnaround artist. Mulally saved boeing and now has saved ford. Thanks to mulally, ford was the only one of the big three that didnt need to file for bankruptcy protection. They didnt take a penny of government bailout money. I think he streamlined the company a little late, but has been improving the Corporate Culture and the Balance Sheet is so much better in 2006, ford borrowed 23. 5 billion to save the company. They had to pledge a ton of assets as collateral, including their logo. Here you go, take my logo, please. They had to do that assed enend of september, they had paid its loan down to 14 moiillion. Terrific sign of how effective mulally has been in fixing the company. This is a classic better Balance Sheet story. The less debt ford has, the less interest the company has to pay and the higher its earnings. It is amazing to me when i worked at Goldman Sachs years ago, ford paper was aaa, it was like treasuries, i it can happen again. I can tell you mulally is not as young as he used to be, but neither am i. Hes not going to quit until ford has completed its worldwide turn. The ford chart, lets just say, when i was looking over the charts this weekend i know you thought i was on vacation, i was chartdstudying, lets say its about the best in the book. Bottom line, when you see all the stories about the booming u. S. Auto business, dont outsmart yourself, stick with the proven winner. Best idea that i have, john in ohio, john. Caller happy booyah new year to you and your mad money staff. I have the best staff in the world and they love me to saydy beat them all in fantasy football. I was going to work it in, best moment to work it in. Whats up . Caller with car and truck sales expected to go up. Could i have your opinion on american axle this year . You know i was too bullish on that. And i dont want to slight it now. But i think that the i think it can go up. I think it can go up. Its not my favorite and thats because i actually liked ford here. Lets go to bob in new jersey. Caller hi, jim. This is bob grunder from the stormravaged town of matasquan, new jersey. The guy was like listen im worried about waste. Im worried about peoples homes, im not talking about second homes, im talking about first homes, i think congress could address it, i sure hope so, governor christie. Come on the show, repeat what you said, youre the man, go ahead. I have a reasonable position in Gardner Denver at 35 and eaton at 50. Knowing that Gardner Denver is takeover target and eaton at 56 seems a little rich, i would like to increase my position in one or the other which one would you recommend and at what price for a longterm hold . All right. Gardner denver we do, we dont know, the it doesnt look like theres a deal, we dont speculate. The fundamentals just okay there. Eaton, thats sandy cutler has done a remarkable job. But im not a buyer of stocks after an up 3 move, when they pull back its going to be eaton is the one that i like. The best stock of 2013 . It could be ford. Dont outthink it. The business is starting to boom. And the winner will be the letter f. Dont move. First lightning round of 2013 is coming urp. Tonight, fiscal cliff, a done deal, but washington remains on edge and the political battles are far from over. Larry looks at the next big fight affecting your money and your future. It is time, the lightning round. Cramers as we take you calls. My staff prepares the graphics, we play to the sound. And then the lightning round is over. Thats on the fly.

Matt in michigan . Caller yes. Warren, michigan. Im wondering if regeneron. I dont think its done. It is one of the best performers. We had this company and the stock was at 5. Their science is so much more superior to everybody elses when it comes to this macular degeneration, i think the stock buy buy buy, is going to 200. Mike until nebraska . Caller happy new year, booyah, jim. Same. Caller win no, im not convinced. I dont like these other companies that are, that started out as wireline companies to try to do more. Its not good enough. Broadband, to me its not working, you can stick with it but i dont like it. Matt in new york . Caller booyah, thanks for taking my call, jim. Whats going on . Caller im getting into stocks.

I like google, a little bit in the penalty box versus facebook which i think has done miraculously. The last google quarter was not good to tell you i like it is just reacting to the action. I dont like to do that, i think facebook has more upside. Wow and that, ladies and gentlemen is the conclusion of the lightning round. The lightning round is sponsored by td ameritrade. Coming up, passport to profit . The fiscal cliff may be crumbling, but concerns over slow growth in the u. S. Arent going anywhere. Looking for a place to turn . Grab your luggage and hop aboard. Cramer is taking a trip to find the International Markets that could be traveling higher. At the beginning of last year, everyone said you had to hide in the good old u. S. Of a, because the rest of the world was falling apart. Now as 2013 kicks off with another contentious battle in washington, the time over the debt ceiling. One that could be every bit as bad as the travesty we just went through. Two years ago. Rivaling the fiscal cliff battle. New advice about where to invest your money. At least if youre as negative about the u. S. As Everything Else i talked to. Theres major parts of the kple that are going strong. Todays rally was a magnificent demonstration of that. As we saw with the fiscal cliff nonsense, washington is glo gridlocked, it seems like none of the washington officials care about getting the economy strong. They would much rather fight to the death over the deficit. The measure last night passed, but it almost didnt happen, because the house is an institution where the minority is able to hold the majority hostage. I think 2013 is a year where as strong as the market was today, i need to you diversify some of your portfolio into International Markets, if you havent yet. Especially since many of these Foreign Countries have either been easing or implementing stimulus measures for over a year. While the democrats and republicans only ever seem to want to fight with each other the rest of the world has been getting its act together. They make us look like pathetic amateurs at best, if not partisan, lets say akin to the civil war period. So which regions have turned around . Which regions have got tn together and whats the best way to play them . First, heres one i havent mentioned, 20 years . Japan. After years of government gridlock where the country stumbled from one recession to the next and a dying economy caused a flatline economy, the one that we always laugh about, japan had an election two weeks ago, one of the biggest landslides in history. A 20month low over the election. Giving japanese exporters a major edge. As the new Prime Minister campaigned on a platform of boosting the economy via easing Monetary Policy and major government sending. Japan has been struggling with deflation for over a decade. Nut government has adopted the malcolm x position and will beat deflation by any means necessary. Google that if you want to see some amazing video of malcolm x. Given these policies, the yen is going to keep getting weaker, terrific for japans exportoriented economy. Best way to play it . I like the ishares, msci japan index fund, the ewj, the Edward Walter jim. A diversified index that owns about 100 of the Biggest Companies that trade in japan. What other things are not doing better . Europe. Granted the european economy is still depressed. Weve seen a number of data points that suggest things are stabilizing, purchasing Managers Index numbers for manufacturing and nonmanufacturing that have stabilized and inching high anywhere several countries led by germany. And positive retail sales, and german business came at the highest level in two and a half years. Greeces debt was upgraded. Greece of all places. Billi big monetary changes policy changes in europe. As over the last several months, the money supply in europe has doubled versus last year. Plus, last month the eu agreed to a common european banking regulator which was a very big deal. There was overshadowed by our u. S. If a turn is coming, at least a bottom, you need to get in before that happens. Think the bottom is for rear, i think the 2012 bottom stands, if you wait until everybody thinks its obvious youll be out, youll be too late. Remember, the european markets kept rallying last year despite all the worries about the continents weakness, german market, French Market up 20 . Uk market up 13. 5 . How do you play europe . I prefer the van guard msci euro etf, symbol vgk. Thats Victor George ken for all of you home gamers. I like it so much i own it for my Charitable Trust. You can follow it. A lot of reasoning why stephanie link and i codirector believe in this. It pays you a solid 3. 7 yield while youre waiting. Next up, yeah, theres china. Not done. Chinese economy has been in the process of bottoming for a while now. I think the genuine turn could be at hand. We know the Chinese Central Bank has been providing capital injections to banks. Last year they cut the reserve requirement three times, Interest Rates twice. I expect pair policy to remain easy. Capital injections turned the tide. Hit record levels in september october. Something thats helped the chinese economy dramatically as we see from improving macrodata points. Purchasing managers numbers, industrial production, retail sales, housing numbers, you name it china has beaten inflation, they have the flexibility to do more juice to the economy if they need to the Chinese Party just got a new leadership in november. These guys are anxious to make a good impression by getting the economy up to speed. They did get it wrong. They were too tight. Theyve seen the error of their ways and they are now loose. When it comes to china, i like the ishares, ftse china 25, ftse 25. Frank xray indiana which owns a basket of 25 of the highest quality Chinese Companies out there. I know Charitable Trust holdings dont want to pick individual stocks too hard. The Indian Central Bank cut rates by. 5 in april. They have a ton of room to go lower and a big upcoming Monetary Policy meeting on january 29th. Where Goldman Sachs is expected to cut rates by another. 5 point. T Indian Country is all about growth. Go for the india nifty fifty. The indy and last but not least. I like wa im seeing in latin america. The hard core anticapitalist chavez regime seems to be on its last legs. Even mexico is a good place to invest. Cartel violence seems to be dying down. A deal between the president and the cartels. If you believe in a mexican resurgence, go with the ishares msci, mexican investable market invest. Eww, mexican ratio, 121 ratio to the dollar. 111, lets talk about brazil. My favorite brazilian etf is the ewz. I am more sang win on americans prospects than most. Ky see you need to get some international diversification. Given the political gridlock that strangling our economy. Japan, europe, china, india, latin america, i think they could all be better places to invest for the next year than the united states, if washington doesnt get its act together. And i fear that alas they just might not be able to do so. Mad money back after the break. You know what didnt work in 2012 . Risk on risk off. As hard as i tried to stamp out this ridiculous bit of hedge fundese, i wasnt able to eradicate it. Its like a roach. Theres so many commentators out there and so many traders who want to succomb to this kind of nonrigorous lazy, needlessly binary way of thinking that its impossible to shut them all down. Let 2012 be a lessen to you. The risk on risk off crowd would have caused you to underperform if you followed them. Notice i say you would have underperformed, not that they underperform. One thing is certain, none of these blowhazard is ever going to let you see the returns after what i bet was a fiasco year what i can only call an alleged strategy of the not even a fault strategy. Not even a strategy. Why did risk on risk off lead you astray . The s p 500 gained 13. 5 last year. But 16 of you included reinvested dividends, we know for sure those who played the on off switch game, the binary nan sense didnt get to reinvest the dividends whichy hugely important to the component of this this years performance. Some of these trading tailgunners may not have gotten anything to show for their difference. Even as companies continued to raise higher and higher payouts, second the shorthand risk no risk let you down entirely. Lets take europe. What was risky . The bonds, stocks . Bonds miraculous former stocks incredible, too. I guess if you flitted from risk on to risk off and back again, you sold low and bought high. Pretty regularly. Maybe daily. Because the riskiest moments theoretically what were you supposed to avoid if you were playing risk off were the times when the biggest amounts of money were made. The nonstrategy might have been called buy high sell low. Maybe if you do it enough times, it works . I dont think so. Risk on risk off is a portfolio sector management tool that backfired. The riskiest stocks proved to be the least risky. Second, bonds as a risk off strategy seems like an oxymoron. Bond funds began to tyke it on the chin. Thanks to the fiscal cliff the spending slowdown, so what is the conclusion of all this nan sense . Simple, i ran money for 30 years, i invested other peoples money for 30 years and doing a Charitable Trust before the risk on risk off garbage came into play. Im beginning to believe that its simply the refuge of scoundrel who is refused to do individual stock homework or cant think of anything to ask or to say. Let 2013 be the year that the people who continue with the terminology be defrocked. Not that they were frocked to begin with. Ill do my best it out them as shortterm mental hooligans, maybe this time with the risky s ps sterling performance it will become clear that this nan sense is nothing but a travesty perpetrated by those offering soundbites.
