Jim Cramer, the Lightning Round

[chrissmit]

Hi all,

Wonder if anyone can help me out.

I know not all like Jim Cramer and his shows/books etc, but that´s not my point here.
I´m trying to subscribe to his video podcast the Lightning round, using iTunes.
Now that appears to be impossible, because I am located in the Netherlands, and my iTunes account (credit card n stuff) is all listed here in NL.

Does anyone know a way around it?
like:
Create a US based iTunes account that I can use to subscribe
An other podcast program that is not that picky about location (although my Dutch IP address might be in the way?)
Someone downloading it for me, on their website, where I can download it from
... any other ideas?

Thanks for your help!
Have an ambitious and profitable 2007!

I don't podcast but you know you can get a complete summary of the show off the street site. It is quicker read than going through the whole show.

Thanks GRock,

I´ve contacted thestreet.com, iTunes & CNBC, all say they cannot help me...
So I´ve got my hopes on this active and helpful community!

maybe try some news groups. i just looked under alt.binaries.podcast ... didn't see anything there, but maybe you can find a server that has more than i have access to here.

Try seekingalpha.com; they give the info in summary but maybe not podcast.

Nothing good to report about Cramer, subscribed for the last year in which his action alerts trailed the S&P 500 by 6%-7%. He likes to blame his trading restrictions (can't trade for 5 days after mentioning a stock). But he can do things you can't like sell at a loss and buy back the next day. You would lose your loss for tax purposes if you didn't wait 31 days. Also he is batting less than 50% (coin toss) on his llightening round according to some sources. Just my opinion.

I love his show but was burned by the hype lost $500 on AAPL his pick of the year.

Need to do your own investing. Run Apple through your own 4 M's with a long term view. I have a position in Apple and started a homework thread here. Don't have a positive 10 year history but not all do. Since Jobs is back I would put it in #1 status and has a decent MOS.
