TheStreet.com TV Recap: Dead Sectors Rallying
"When you're running a company, a lot of what you would want to do to the company is unpalatable to the public markets," Cramer said. "When you have those situations, you don't want to be in the glare," even though these moves are good long term for the company.
When Task mentioned that on the flip side, more management doesn't want to have any part in becoming private, Cramer said it's because management does not want to lose its jobs. There are many instances in which companies can do it themselves, and many instances in which companies don't need to become private, "but the payday for private, I find, has been very positive," he said. Cramer commented on how the public has not been excited about the market this year and how he hasn't seen a lot of inflow of capital. He said that is possibly because "a lot of people are fed up with our country" and a lot of money is going into other stock markets. "If you look at the White House, we're perceived as being a weak and hobbled country right now, and people don't necessarily want to invest in a weak and hobbled country," Cramer said. "If you joined where other capital flows are going, you'd probably do better." He said Europe is a safe place to invest and has alienated fewer people than the U.S. has, and has a better worldview. "I'm not a political guy and could care less what President Bush does, but at a certain point, he's starting to hurt the multiple," Cramer said.- Loading Comments...
