]. Thoughts? --MelodeeCramer says: “No, no. You cannot make money in Zoltek. That was a discovered story years ago when we started the show. We caught a double, never looked back. I don’t want you to think like that. I think that your first idea about dependable stocks is good, but I want to define dependable as companies that pay a dividend and have been raising the dividend. Use that as your criteria and I will go with you. The idea of green versus no green, I am not going to go with that. I am trying again to develop some companies that I think can benefit from cap-and-trade, but I have to tell you something – that’s not the way to invest. I like companies that are either accidental high-yielders or have a consistent policy of paying a dividend.”

Jim: In your book, Stay Mad For Life you wrote that pros worry about making too much money too fast because it shows a potentially dangerous imbalance in the risk/reward ratio. Does this idea apply to companies as well - especially financials? --Scott
Cramer says: “Look, if you’re putting on numbers that are too fast, particularly if you’re buying other companies, it does apply. By the way, I often look at this issue for my charitable trust, where I am always nervous when I’ve made, say, twice what the market did on a given day. When I have that kind of outperformance, I know I’m taking too much risk. That’s what you need to worry about…are beating the market by two, three times in a day? You’re probably having too much risk. Cut back the risk, and the reward will stay steady.”
