Mad Mail: The Danger of U.S. National Debt
 |
Cramer says: “We are huge believers of gold being part of every portfolio in some form or another. So I am not going to balk. Is it the right time? We’ve been saying the way to buy gold is on the way down. We, too, fear that sudden decline. This is not the season to own gold. But we have had Eldorado [EGO

Cramer: How important is our nation's debt issue? We already have a debt of trillions of dollars, however annual deficit budgets and special government relief programs are now adding to it. Are we headed for a financial disaster? I know this is a very long-term question and the focus seems to be on the immediate, but I would like to hear your thoughts on this. --Dr. T
Cramer says: “Of course, I’m worried about the debt. And not only am I worried about the debt, but I’ve got to tell you that I think that’s one of the reasons why I always want to own a position in gold. When I see this much debt, I say, ‘Wait a second.’ It could be inflationary down the road. So let’s buy some gold now before it gets deflationary.”

Cramer says: “What matters is this…the government has been known to investigate firms, particularly hedge funds, that bought the last day of a quarter to mark up or move up a position that they already have. So if they have a million shares of something and they take it up a dollar on the last day, the government has subpoenaed tapes and gotten that and nailed those guys. So people tend to mark things up three days before…the last day. Hey, what a coincidence – that’s when the market was still rallying.”
