Here is the situation;
Yesterday morning I am listening to NPR and they have a story about the company that codes many of the games on Facebook, Farmville being the most well known. The story goes on to say how much money the company has in revenue, and also how hip and cool the company/CEO is. I thought to myself "I wish I owned some of that before this story came on the radio" and sure enough. KaBoom!!! As of this morning the stock price is up 30% in 48 hours, meanwhile EPS is -0.24. The company name is Xynga for those of you who want to dump some money in while it is at it's 52-week high.

I heard an NPR story yesterday about how Ashland, KS attracted a doctor to their shitty hospital using interesting recruiting and allowing him to continue his humanitarian work
-
I saw Northern Exposure in 1990.
-
WRONG FEDOR! He had to go to Alaska because he got in troubs or something (can't really remember).
-
also +1 for Northern Exposure being a fantastic show
-
THAT PILOT GIRL WITH THE SHORT HAIR OMG! :love:
-
the deadpan secretary/nurse lady OMG! :D
-
When I was doing radio out in western kansas I hooked up with an NPR girl that had just graduated from Arkansas. Lets just say the experience was very NPRish. Boring, slow, and uninteresting.
-
the too cool for school felon disc jokey OMG! :cool:
-
The mayor/sherrif guy who tried to shoot the Dr. on, like, the first episode and he was an astronaut or some crap OMG! :dubious:
-
That OB bartender married to that really young blonde lady. what a crazy match! OMG! :fatty:
-
Rob Morrow as Joel Fleischman, starred for most of the series, leaving halfway through the final season. Joel is a Jewish physician and the proverbial fish out of water from New York City,[7] fresh out of family medicine residency, he arrives in the remote Alaskan town of Cicely, contractually bound to practice for four years to repay a student loan from the state of Alaska.
You are thinking of Doc Holiday

Is northern exposure anything like twin peaks?

OMG my mom grew up in Ashland, KS and my grandad is one of 2 people in that hospital right now (they started hospice last week, but I'm kind of OK with it because he made it to his 100th birthday and always said he would just probably die after that :frown:). That doctor is fantastic! I'll have to tell her about the NPR story. She's one of those dorky southwest KS people that loses their mind when anything that relates to them is on the news.

oh yeah, me too, but we had a tv in our basement where my room was that nobody upstairs could hear. anyway, twin peaks as a, like, 9 or 10 year old kid really fucks with your head. like, it does anyway, but as a kid you really get messed up in the brain.

Not the same situation, NPR ran a story about a company, did not make a recommendation, but for reasons I can only guess at people went out and bought the stock despite no compelling reason to do so.
Cramer makes recommendations and as a guy who researches stocks and apparently made himself rich doing so, people decide to trust his judgement.
-
First of all it's Zynga (ZNGA), just in case anyone wants to look it up. Secondly, the price is up because of Facebook's recent IPO filing and their affirmation of a solid relationship with Zynga. Zynga makes apps too. They're the makers of Words With Friends, for instance.
-
Cramer made himself rich by being a tv star. he isn't making anyone rich based on his picks.

During Cramer's tenure of the fund, from 1988–2000, he had one year of negative returns in 1998. The following year in 1999 the fund returned 47%, and in 2000 28%, beating the S&P 500 by 38 percentage points.[9] Cramer retired from his hedge fund in 2001, finishing with a 24% average annual return over 14 years and having "routinely [taken] home $10 million a year and more."[9]

Still can't believe Laura Palmer is dead.

Nobody follows Cramer in this thread and the only reason he is mentioned here is because Rusty brought him into it.

If you think a bunch of crunchy old people that listen to NPR in the morning have any effect whatsoever on the stock market, then I can't help you.

Did 10 year old steve dave make it through the entire second season of Twin Peaks? To say it wasn't as good as the first season would be a bit of an understatement.

I like NPR. I get to keep up on the news when I drive to and from work. Throw in a little mandatory CNN at night, and I feel like I'm sufficiently in the look on the main stuff.

It has everything to do with the Facebook IPO.

Listening to NPR while you drive is more dangerous than taking 11 quaaludes and driving. If you have insomnia, listen to NPR, you will be cured.
People that listen to NPR are very cultish and smug, I'd say the answer to the question is likely yes.
