    Baby Boomers Retire: Health Care Spiders Surge [view article]
    The problem with the retirement of the Baby Boomers is that this includes Baby Boomer healthcare providers. The healthcare workforce is aging. New entrants into the healthcare workforce are more focused on lifestyle and flexible scheduling than in the past. This isn't to denigrate newer workers; it's just a fact. The shortage of primary care providers is just the tip of the iceberg.

    Another issue is the affordability of healthcare. Traditionally, healthcare employers got by offering benefits packages that were in all ways inferior to those offered by other industries. Before reforms in hiring eliminated this inequity, it was said that a girl graduating from high school had limited career options. As for professions, her choices were limited to nursing and teaching. The teachers have already retired with the full government benefits offered as incentives to teach. But the nurses are still laboring away, in many cases with comfortable retirements growing further out of reach with each passing year.

    It will be interesting to see how well the retiring Baby Boomers are served by our strained healthcare system.     Reply

    Last week on TV, a comment was made about CIT having a busted convertible yielding 12.5%. I can not find it among CIT's bonds. Jim Cramer agreed that it was a good idea. Reply

    I don't understand how Cramer came up with a 16% + return on his picks in 2007. Apple was up 150%+ & he had another good winner but lost 50% in LVLT & Rite Aid. Did he put equal $$ into each of his picks ?
    What methodology did he use ?     Reply

    Very different story on RAD and LVLT from original tout, recall that these were to be two really big winners for '07. I think he's a much better clown than stock picker. I nominate Cramer for the Red Skelton re-incarnation award of '07. Now that would be great if he were on NBC and not Cnbc. Reply

    Jim Cramer is an idiot. He flip-flops like crazy. If he was a real analyst he'd say stick with Cisco and the market will finally get it right in 2008. Cisco didn't underperform financially in 2007...the market failed to value it a reasonable multiple. If Cramer doesn't think the market will eventually correct itself as a rational value-determining mechanism, he should just literally start throwing darts at stock lists on his show. Reply

    I do hope Cramer has a very successful year with his stock picks. Millions of viewer's purchase shares that he suggests without any knowledge of the stock market. Although he states do your homework, and review the stock often, investors in general are lazy. This is their fault not Jim's, yet
    the finger pointing is inevitable because he is on stage not them. He accepted the position and must
    remember, that all eyes are upon him. However, I
    believe as he stated, that "you must learn from the past", that himself should slow down a bit and be a little more cautiously optimistic about his statements regarding his stock selections.
    Otherwise the factor of health becomes an issue
    and can lead to unnecessary stress which can take it's toll on anyone.
    So Good luck and have a bull year Jim
    P.S. Maybe you should have a panel of experts on your show, like Fast Money.

    It's obvious you are not a Cramerican. Not a clue. Can't even spell his name correctly. Every age has its Crammer (Cramer)? What age are you trading in? Taken with a grain of sugar, this man has steered me toward investment rigor...and I have profited.
    Note: I own 5 of the aforementioned stocks...up 10.43%. Booya.

    So what. As author of Tricks of the Active Trader, you might as well
    talk about Krammer from Seinfeld. Every age has its Crammer. The 1920's had its Angela Adams.
    What is it with media celebrities? What are you objectives? What is your investment philosophy?
