Mad Mail: Cramer's Yearbook Pictures

Hi Jim: I think you're a great teacher, a great writer, and a great showman, and I say you can be any damn age you want. But since we were in the same class in college, you can't quite fool me. In fact, here are your freshman and senior yearbook pictures (below). Notice how, by 1977, you had a nascent scowl of concentration and your hairline had already - nevermind. Nearly a third of my portfolio is in Unilever [UL  Loading...      ()   ]. I know, I know. My question is, would buying some Procter & Gamble [PG  Loading...      ()   ] be diversification or not? They're both pretty global and awfully similar product-wise, aren't they? --Joanie




Cramer says: PG and UL are “the same company, basically.” He would rather own Procter than Unilever here.
