Cramer says: “I don’t want to be in ERTS, and I don’t want to be in the gaming business. I think the gaming business has peaked. I don’t think there’s any growth there. So I say no on ERTS. I’d rather see you in Apple, or Google [GOOG

Jim: I just started watching your show and getting serious about the market this summer. I bought two of your books and I have pre-ordered your new book, Getting Back To Even. Can you explain what goodwill on a balance sheet means? I took a personal finance course in college back in the 1970s and it taught us to avoid any company with more than $1 in goodwill. Now all companies seem to have large amounts listed. Should we just subtract this out of the assets? Thank you for providing us a system to make money in the market. You are the best! --Rich from North Carolina
Cramer says: “That’s a good way to do it. Actually, I would subtract it. Now remember, we’re not doctrinaire about good will. There are a lot of company that have made good acquisitions, and you’re going to end up hating a company that made a good acquisition simply because there’s goodwill involved. You don’t want to do that. Let’s look at the [GAAP] earnings per share. That will still solve it.”

Cramer says: “Because of bookkeeping, it will inflate the quarter. That’s not a bad thing. But because of the stock in, what you’ll see is a higher number than you’d expect for Starbucks.”

Booyah Cramer!: Thanks for all that you and your staff do. I can't wait for the new book! I love the way you make investing seem so basic, yet go above and beyond any advice I have received from other books. Because of you, I decided to play along for the first time last October, and recently I sold most of my discretionary portfolio for a 37% gain overall. I am only 25, and I want to put some of my profits in the best speculative home run opportunities in your mobile Internet thesis. After doing the homework, would I be better off going with some of your speculative tower picks, or should I stick to some of the more basic chip and handset makers? --Garen in Texas
