Not bad, for a Hampton Inn...

I've stayed in some lovely Hampton Inns, including Evansville, IN.

I will go against the Church of ALCO and say that Gold or Platinum in SPG often nets nothing. I never got upgraded with Gold and occasionally get something with Platinum.

In the center of Frankfurt, wohnen & spielen is a nice toy store (Grosse Friedberger Str. 32).

Yes, thank you, I think I've seen it, is it the one around the corner from the Westin Grand?

This has been my experience as well. (I did get upgraded with Gold once, at the Sheraton Roma.)

That's the one. Very nice people and a good selection of toys.

I have to go to middle-of-nowhere, LA for a site visit in a few months. Looking at the possible hotels, I have strong reason to believe Hampton Inn will be the best option.

The new ones are quite nice, like the one near CLT.

So Cramer is claiming victory on a one-day trade?

Repeat: Cramer is an idiot. That is all.

That's the way to do it - when you see the value, not when everyone thinks there's value. Otherwise I would have missed out on AXP, BZ, C, CSUN, CX, JPM, PGH, SSW ...

Definitely one of those people whose 15 minutes was 14:30 too much.

Please go away Cramer, you are well past your sell-by date...

I thought about buying it when it was around 2.00, but I was too scared that it was going to go under.... wish I'd bought it instead of Citi :(
