I have been wondering how Jim Cramer's conservative picks perfrom. Acccordingly, I am starting a list here. My selection criteria will be only stocks that I would feel comfortable recommending to my Mother. The Perfromance Tracking Feather at right on turned on. Listed under each pick is how I would explain it to my Mother. If I can't explain it to her, it won't go on the list. I'm not in a big hurry, so this may take time to flesh out. I'll try to enter the new picks 5 days after he recommends them (as he recommends).
We shall see.

  • KRE
    Spdr Kbw Regional
  • $30.02
  • -6.10%
  • $31.32

Mom - Jim Cramer recommended this regional bank ETF. It's not just one bank but a basket of over 50 banks. Not the big banks but smaller ones. He says when interest rates are cut these banks will make more money because they won't pay you as much interest, but charge the fat cats more for loans. Yeah, yeah Mom - I know the stock market is crashing this week. Yeah, these subprime mortgage things. But, that's why you wanna buy now. You're getting them much cheaper. Don't worry about what Lou Dobbs is telling you. The government is not going let all the bank go under. Just take a small position. Don't put all your money in it.
