I don’t know about you, but I’m been making a transition from Jim Cramer’s Mad Money to the Fast Money traders. For some reason, I’m not sure if it’s because they’re more down to earth, less annoying, or my fiancee actually can watch them, I enjoy watching that
Fast Money TV show much more than I do Mad Money. There’s a few Mad Money recap sites out there but until now I hadn’t found one that covered Fast Money (it could also be that I just haven’t had time!). It looks like the folks over at Fast Money Stock Picks take on a similar format to those of the Mad Money recappers. Each Fast Money trader’s listed with his (or hers) recommendations for the episode, along with some short notes on some of the picks. Yes, a recap of Pops and Drops is also on their site. What’d I’d like to see more of are links to the Trade School sessions for Fast Money, even if the links send you back to CNBC. The Trade School sessions are usually pretty good, even though I tend to only watch the ones relating to options (I’m biased, I know).
In any event, if you need a quick single post read on the day’s picks and pops/drops, head over to the Fast Money Stock Recap. I know CNBC only links the videos and not summaries of the videos so it’s nice to have a place where you can skim over what was said with the ability to come back later on and watch the videos for yourself.
I too enjoy fastmoney over jim cramer. i used to enjoy cramer, but he just go annoying after a while and he just runs through too many stocks too quickly.

You know what I learned about the markets that Cramer’s show couldn’t teach me? How to short. He’s not allowed to short on Mad Money and sadly more money appears to be made on the downside than going long. Gotta stay flexible I think!
