So who is counting on CNBC's Jim Kramer advice in the first Quarter of 2008?

How many corporations are posting phony earning etc?

Jim Kramer is good, but merely one source. I like to use his advice and that of numerous other investment managers.

A) Cramer is entertainment and education, not stock tips. "Tips are for waiters" he says

B) Corporations cannot post "phony" earnings. Their CEOs are liable and can go to jail if they sign a fraudulant earnings report.

C) In every market there are buyers who think it will go up and sellers who think it will go down. Unless you are taking a survey, it's pretty pointless to ask such a broad question..but since you did, my opinion is the market will be flat for the 1st half and (depending on the usual activities ie, interest rates, geopolitics, oil, bank failures, etc..I think the second half could set up 2009 for a solid performance.

Good Luck

i love the show..
when the market took a dive in spring..he kept the prospective..
he uses humor..and sometimes that is all that is needed.
i made the money back i lost and i took a big hit..(money ways)

not necessarily the shows tips..but ..he kept..the prospective..and that is that..it is just money..and you can make money in any market..

example:Kramer never liked Rimm but endorsed it a few times..
